In the Health Service Organization operational planning process, what step takes place after vice presidents and physician leaders have taken the strategic decisions that have been made to their departments and teams?

Departmental teams develop a series of tasks that are based on department objectives and that specify who will do what and for how much money.

Leaders, key managers, providers, and staff develop departmental objectives and targets to achieve by the end of the next fiscal year.

Departmental teams write objectives for their department that meet organizational objectives.

Operating units submit the draft plans to their managers, who modify the objectives and budget as needed.
