Our Commitment to Leading Change Through Engagement We will promote and reward a culture of cooperation and mutual interests (negotiation) rather than the failed approaches of command and control (provocation). Engagement will happen at all levels from governance to front lines to community residents Because….

Governance for System Change The Central East LHIN Board has identified the engagement of local health care governance as a top priority. “Board to Board” engagement will focus on bringing together governance leaders within health service providers and the LHIN to for information sharing and strategic planning It is expected that health service providers will engage each other in the efforts to meet local need A governance steering committee will be established in the Fall of 2007 that will examine ways to equitably and effectively engage local governance alignmentvisionreviewintegrationaccountability leadership for change

“Integration” as defined through Legislation 2(1) “integration” includes (a)to co-ordinate services and interactions between different persons and entities; (b)to partner with another person or entity in providing services or in operating (c)to transfer, merge or amalgamate services, operations, persons or entities (d)to start or cease providing services (e)to cease to operate or to dissolve or wind up the operations of a person or entity. alignmentvisionreviewintegration accountability leadership for change

In simple language… Health system experienced as a coordinated system: People will get the right treatment at the right time by the right provider Seamless flow of information that supports patient care A system that begins with primary care providers with an equal focus on prevention and health maintenance Create timely access to quality services by aligning people, processes and resources Elimination of wasteful and time consuming duplication Involvement of patients, residents, family and informal caregivers alignmentvisionreviewintegration accountability leadership for change

Making Integration Happen Requires coordinated efforts of the LHIN and health service providers. LHIN Planning Partnerships are a resource to the LHIN and its health service providers alignmentvisionreviewintegration accountability leadership for change

Example: Supporting Health Service Provider Planning LHIN Collaborative Central East LHIN Local health service provider (s) identify to the LHIN Integration opportunity New program / services Local barriers for improved performance Health service provider(s) engage LHIN planning partners for expert advice and information in support of meeting local needs, advancing new ideas, or in the preparation of business plans May also involved governance to governance engagement Health service provider(s) submit business plans or ideas (with demonstrated engagement of LHIN planning partners) to the LHIN for further consideration. Health Service Provider (s) Task Group/Networks Denotes potential referral back to LHIN alignmentvisionreviewintegration accountability leadership for change Governance Advisory Bodies (TBD) LHIN may implement through service accountability agreements (SAA) with service providers or integration decisions.

Ministry-LHIN Accountability Agreement Use of Planning Partnerships Board-to-Board Engagement alignmentvisionreviewintegration accountability leadership for change

Example: Required Integration Decisions 25 (2)(b) A local health integration network shall issue an integration decision when the network requires a health service provider to proceed with an integration under s. 26; Such instances may be a result of government action or policy, or public interest requiring expedited outcomes In all other instances, use of such authority signals a shortcoming by the LHIN in meeting its standards of collaborative planning alignmentvisionreviewintegration accountability leadership for change

Required Integration Decisions under 25(2)(b) LHIN considers any submissions; may change or confirm original integration decision LHIN requires integration by funded HSPs Health Service Provider LHIN issues proposed integration decision LHIN issues final integration decision Within 30 Days No timeframe specified Anyone may make submissions regarding proposed decision, including Task Group/Networks LHIN Collaborative Health Service Provider alignmentvisionreviewintegration accountability leadership for change

Example: Integration Decisions that Stop Voluntary Integrations 25 (2)(c) A local health integration network shall issue an integration decision when the network orders a health service provider not to proceed with an integration under s. 27; Use of such authority by the LHIN signals a shortcoming by the health service provider(s) in providing early awareness of the issues and/or health service providers lack of participation in LHIN collaborative planning. alignmentvisionreviewintegration accountability leadership for change
