The objectives of Asset Strategic Planning include:
Preparation
of a consistent and dynamic Asset Strategic Plan Planning the configuration of assets and facilities to meet current and future health care needs effectively Enable informed decision making based on a collection of consistent base data set of key assets (condition, functionally and compliance) Development of a consolidated Asset Strategic Plan to guide future capital investment and in the case of Health, to feed into a State-wide Health Corporate Strategic Plan and to meet the Total Asset Management requirements of Government.
In regards to NSW Health Strategic Asset Planning, Area Asset Plans are to have:
A
Preliminary overview of major asset requirements within each AHS based on findings of Area healthcare service plans A 10 year time horizon AHS capital investment proposals should be within State-wide Asset Acquisition Limits First required by June 2006. Been submitted to Treasury in August 2006
Underpinning the preparation of a State-wide Asset Strategic Plan, Asset Audits are in progress (some have been completed):
The aim of the audit is to capture consistent Statewide Strategic asset base information to facilitate and inform the preparation of more robust Area Strategic Plans Audit of key sites within each area health service Information collected at Site, Building, Floor and Health Planning (HPU), w Level HPU with area occupied (m2), asset condition, compliance and functionality Develop a web-enabled data capture tool within Health Facility Briefing System (this is not yet live for access by AHS yet) The methodology and data capture process was successfully trialled at Children’s Hospital Westmead.
Statewide Asset Strategic Plan
The strategies and capital investment outcomes of the individual Area ASPs will be consolidated into a State-wide Asset Strategic Plan This will inform the overall health forward investment strategy and assist with the prioritisation of projects across the State Forms the basis of NSW Health TAM plan required by Treasury Feeds into NSW Health Corporate Strategic Plans and Health Services Corporate Strategic Plans.
