Charter

The Cross-Domain Strategic Planning (CDSP) Work Group was formed by the Domain Coordination Committee (DCC) in response to the IHE International Board's request for a

"first-cut" look at an IHE-wide strategic plan, taken from a "Domain perspective". While the Board is very interested in helping to guide IHE as an organization, it felt that

it initially needed to understand each domain's view on a strategic future, with some overarching recommendations, before it could mindfully engage in the process.

This initiative is being managed by the CDSP Workgroup in the following phases:

• Phase 1 - understanding current strategic planning processes, with an attempt to harmonize across domains (Complete)
• Phase 2 - articulation and documentation of each domain's strategic vision, looking forward 3-5 years (in progress)
• Phase 3 - harmonization of domain-specific responses, with analysis and recommendations for the IHE International Board

Deliverables

• A Report outlining a Domain perspective on IHE's Strategic Vision, including:

• a compendium of individual domains' strategic plan, and
• a cross-domain consolidated strategic vision, with analysis and recommendations

Timeline

• 1 Oct 2011: Formal request issued to domain planning committees for strategic planning input
• 1-15 Oct 2011: Domain follow-ups and iterative communication
• 1 Dec 2011: Responses from domains due
• Nov 2011: face-to-face meeting of IHE International Board @ RSNA: Set general expectations for report presentation in February, with discussion and feedback.

Appendix and Supporting Information

A by-product of this work group is the development of a shared strategic vision to guide development activities in each respective domain.

• The uniformity of processes and work output across IHE domain committees, including suggestions of methods for improvement, have yielded the following areas of discussion:

• Coordination of committee work items to avoid redundancy and conflict
• Uniformity of work output and consistent use of constructs
• Definition and refinement of processes to lead to better outcomes

• Potential actions to help address these issues include:

• Enhance education materials and process, including Wiki, Webinars and templates
• Expanded oversight for IHE International Board and/or establishment of new oversight body to enforce compliance (peer volunteer group or executive/expert review board)
• Expand domain liaison relationships to strengthen links among domains, notably between medical specialty domains and IT Infrastructure and Patient Care Coordination domains
• Requirement of early, substantive, cross-domain review of supplement work proposals (could use Domain Coordination Committee)
• Perform strategic review of existing portfolio of profiles and identify gaps and overlap (for possible consolidation)
