Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs)

Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) are strategic efforts by healthcare organizations to improve health services’ quality, efficiency, and patient experience across a region. They aim to make the healthcare system more sustainable financially and operationally by coordinating care, reducing waste, and focusing on prevention. STPs involve collaboration among hospitals, clinics, local authorities, and community services to ensure resources are used effectively, healthcare is patient-centered, and communities have better health outcomes. Essentially, they are comprehensive plans to create a more efficient, equitable, and sustainable health system for the future.
