Maurer, M.D., wants economic development to be a natural extension of UNMC&#8217;s mission.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the topic took center stage March 23 at the Chancellor&#8217;s Eighth Annual Strategic Planning Retreat, a day designed to outline the campus&#8217; direction for the next three years, as well as explore strategies for excellence. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As an economic engine for the state and region, we need to blend economic development into all of our activities and embed it into our missions of teaching, research and outreach,&#8221; said UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D. <\/p>\n<p>During the daylong retreat, panel members representing the Nebraska Department of Economic Development, Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce and McCarthy Group Inc., discussed why economic development is a critical role for academic health science centers, as well as how effective UNMC is in promoting economic development.<\/p>\n<p>Participants also engaged in breakout sessions that addressed economic development issues, including UNMC&#8217;s top priorities for increasing economic development in the areas of education, research, community partnerships, cultural competence, technology development and employee loyalty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was a lot of innovation at this retreat,&#8221; said John Adams, Ph.D., assistant vice chancellor for budget and strategic planning at UNMC. &#8220;Rather than doing the traditional strategic update, we took time to explore new ideas along with introducing the notion of economic development and how it permeates all of our activities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The groups also explored the following five &#8220;big ideas&#8221; that span UNMC&#8217;s critical success factors:<br \/>\n<UL><br \/>\n<LI>Establishing a College of Public Health &#8211; Participants discussed the idea of creating a College of Public Health and how that would benefit Nebraska.<br \/>\n<LI>Enhancing UNMC&#8217;s role in global health &#8212; Participants discussed UNMC&#8217;s global roles in education, research and patient care, as well as how to better coordinate global health activities.<br \/>\n<LI>Creating a center for interdisciplinary education &#8211; Participants discussed the idea of creating a structure to support interdisciplinary activities and the possible outcomes.<br \/>\n<LI>Expanding UNMC&#8217;s clinical research-rural focus &#8211; Participants discussed opportunities for expanding rural focused clinical research and how doing so would benefit Nebraska.<br \/>\n<LI>Utilizing emerging communication technologies &#8211; Participants discussed opportunities to use such new communications tools as blogging and podcasting to convey UNMC&#8217;s message to its publics.<\/UL><\/p>\n<p>The retreat provided leaders an opportunity to explore the five initiatives, which were first introduced by the Chancellor&#8217;s Council last fall. &#8220;Further work will be required to flush out the ideas discussed at the retreat,&#8221; Dr. Adams said. &#8220;As we progress, the Chancellor&#8217;s Council will consider appropriate actions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The planning retreat plays an essential role in shaping the medical center&#8217;s future and in making sure everyone is working toward the same goals,&#8221; Dr. Maurer said. &#8220;Competing goals and distractions will appear throughout the year. We must prepare for it, but not give up on our strategic plan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In preparation for the retreat, participants reviewed the latest edition of UNMC planning information and quality indicators, a compilation of data and current initiatives. The 2006 version can be found on the UNMC Intranet. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to UNMC leaders, representatives of UNMC Physicians, the University of Nebraska Foundation, Central Administration, UNMC Student Senate and The Nebraska Medical Center attended the retreat at Westside Community Center. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Adams said the updated strategic plan would be reviewed and possibly adopted by the Chancellor&#8217;s Council on May 9.
