1. Introduction
| This report supplements the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) 1995 strategic plan for information management (Strategic Planning Report of the Information Policy Advisory Committee, 1995). Since that report was published, each major organizational unit within the Medical Center has completed a strategic plan and the individual patient care centers have developed business plans. The 1997-1998 meetings of the VUMC Information Policy Advisory Committee (IPAC) were focused upon incorporating needs and priorities expressed through these diverse organizational strategic planning processes into its strategic plan for information management. The Informatics Center has also developed a series of plans and proposals to address specific institutional priorities. |
