NWT Health and Social Services
System Action Plan 2006-2010
In January 2002, the Minister of Health and Social Services approved the Action Plan 2002 - 2005. That plan described actions on a number of fronts, all directed toward improving the NWT health and social services system: improved services to people; increased supports to staff and trustees; development of an integrated service delivery model; and improvements in system-wide management and accountability. Those actions are now either completed or ongoing.
In 2005 the Department and the Health and Social Service Authorities undertook to update the system-wide strategic plan, which resulted in the development of the strategic plan, Shaping Our Future 2006 - 2010. That document lays out the high-level strategies that will be undertaken in the coming years.
In August 2006, the Action Plan 2006 - 2010 was released. This plan details the specific actions that will be undertaken by the NWT health and social services system over the next five years in order to move forward with the updated strategic plan.
The development of the Integrated Service Delivery Model (ISDM) was one of the major accomplishments of the previous Action Plan, and forms the foundation for Shaping Our Future 2006 - 2010. Consequently, the initiatives that are detailed in the current Action Plan are organized around the six core services of the ISDM, along with the addition of actions that support improved management and accountability for the delivery of health and social services to the people of the Northwest Territories.
