Ontario Health System
•
Growing pressure to contain costs
•
Health care spending increased faster than GDP in Canada (1996 -
2006 ≈
10 % ↑
annually)
48% of Total Provincial
Budget

More Health Care is Not Always Better
The largest factor contributing to major health care expenditure is…
“Contrary to popular belief, population growth and agingare not the biggest contributors to the rise in Canada’shealth care spending”
[“Value For Money: Making
Canadian Health Care Stronger.”
Health Council ofCanada, February 2009]
Canada’s Total Health Care Spending1997 –
79 Billion2009 –
172 Billion

Challenges In Health Care Delivery Patient First
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and overand expecting different results”
–
Albert Einstein

Report noted “We will not see a permanent change in thepatient experience if we keep running the system the same way we always have.”

Patient First, Report of the Saskatchewan Patient First Review, October 2009 Prepared by KPMG, October 2009 for Saskatchewan Ministry of Health

Focus on Patient First – Need For More Effective Patient (and Family) Centred Care
•
Our “collective”
patient whose needs are met by the appropriate providers at appropriate times in an integrated manner i.e. interests of clients/patients are ahead of specific organizational interests
•
Ensuring appropriate patient/client needs (not provider preference) drives care
Right Time
Right Person
Right Place

•
Canada’s Health Care is too political-too many conflicted interests---Frank McKenna, V. Chair, TD Bank
•
Organizational and financial interests, will tend to override system integration especially when fiscal restraint is required

Project Overview All-Inclusive Seamless Services for Independence of Seniors for Today and Tomorrow (ASSIST)
• The ASSIST concept is a cornerstone priority of the MH LHIN IHSP• The ASSIST Access, Information, Referral and Intake Project is
designed to address the need for a more decipherable, systematic, co-ordinated and collaboratively orchestrated referral system that supports a flow of clients across service continuum and early identification of at risk seniors in the community
• Or said differently, this project is designed to provide the “sheet music” that will guide all parties to carry out and improve the delivery of information, referral and intake practices in a consistent, streamlined and collaborative manner.
• These improvements will provide a more supportive system for client navigation and access by facilitating increased knowledge, skills, and inter-organizational communications across the intake staff.
• These improvements are the essential building blocks for the automation of referrals across the health service providers.
ASSIST Update Presentation - October 20, 2009
89
Project Overview
What these improvements will mean for Health Service System:• Improved service access, navigation and continuity of services for
seniors and caregivers • Strengthened system knowledge, relationships and integration of
intake practices among the staff of agencies/providers• Enhanced and more effective information and referral practices
among staff across organizations• Leveraged deployment of existing providers in the MH LHIN• Enhanced seniors’ health, wellness and independence through
leveraging an improved community support service capacity within an integrated and co-ordinated health system delivery model
• Optimization of health care resources and flow of clients across the continuum
ASSIST Update Presentation - October 20, 2009
90
Project Overview What these improvements will mean for Health Service Providers:• Consistent language in describing services across providers • Clear paths and directions for routine/directing referrals• A culture shift among health care providers - towards collaborative
customer service, and ensuring no clients are dropped between providers during referral process
• Capacity to identify clients “at risk” and may require case management or specialized expertise (via common intake tool) during intake process
• Readiness for automating referrals via the Community Services Portal

Foundation Inter-organizational Referral Model
AgencyHospital
Discharge Planner/ SW/Clinic StaffCCAC Case Manager
GEM Nurse
Community senior/caregiver has a need and contacts an agency for help/service
All agencies will screen for need beyond what is asked, as appropriate. (Protocol & Form)
If the agency does not provide the service the senior needs, the agency will take the responsibility to make the right referral and ensure the senior is linked. (Protocol)
There is no wrong door for a senior calling – the first agency called, is the starting place.
CCAC Contact Centre
Specialized agency(ies)
If an agency doesn’t know how to match the senior’s need to the right service(s) the agency can call for information to the following:• CCAC Contact Centre or • 1 or 2 pre-defined specialized agencies that serve specialized, complex target groups of seniors e.g. mental health and addictions, Alzheimer Society (Protocol)

Foundation Inter-organizational Referral Model
The Foundational model is the basic inter-agency referral model where each organization is responsible for providing access and referrals to other service provider organizations using common tools and processes, protocols and roles developed by ASSIST Project
Every door leads to service” therefore the foundation model is the minimum process to implement for the test phaseLeverages model implemented in Central LHIN (DWTC) and piloted in Toronto Central LHIN (CNAP) aiming for full implementation this fiscal year (2009/10)
Foundation model includes the ability to escalate client (based on complexity of needs/risk) to appropriate agency for case management based on risk screening aspect of Intake Tool – for example:
CSS agency for case managementCCAC for case managementRecommendation to client to seek medical referral for SGS services (protocol)

Enhanced Model FeaturesCCAC Resource Hub
• CCAC Contact Centre serves as a resource for staff within “spoke” (participating) organizations, which leverages their current expertise and Information role and mandate
• “Spoke” organizations use the CCAC Contact Centre staff as a resource when determining referral options for client
Areas of Specialization • Provider organizations that serve specialized, complex sub-
populations designated as providers of support to other agencies when determining referral options for client
• And/OR, or Provider organizations that offer co-ordinated intake on behalf of the LHIN funded agencies for a particular type of service (e.g. SDL or SGS)
ASSIST Update Presentation - October 20, 2009
98
Recommended Direction: Case for Implementation
CCAC Resource Hub:• Strength of this approach is that the process for seeking support for
guiding referrals is defined• New staff can use this formal process to gain knowledge over time by
consulting with I&R experts in the CCAC contact centre (via 310-CCAC)• Support provided by CCAC contact centre staff to agency staff is designed to
increase effectiveness of I&R provided to the client• Infrastructure is in place in the CCAC Contact Centre already – trained
staff, current resources, LHIN wide, cross-LHIN to other CCACs• Enhances ability of small, less resourced organizations to participate in
ASSIST by providing staff with additional supports by the CCAC contact centre staff

Recommended Direction: Case for Implementation
Areas of Specialization:• Enhances ability of small, less resourced organizations to participate in
ASSIST by providing staff with additional supports of a hub organization• Strength of this model is that the process is defined and clear – and,
new staff can use this formal process to gain knowledge about referrals to specific types of services (e.g. SDL) or client populations (e.g. mental health)
• Collaborative model designed to strengthen relationships and collaboration and build capacity within the system
• Support provided by specialized organization to spoke agency designed to increase effectiveness of I&R provided to the client

Test Phase Design: Recommended ScopeInteragency referrals
Referrals between a mix of 10-15 community agencies, mental health and addiction agencies, hospice, etc.
CCAC staff to community referralsGSN referrals to communityCCAC contact centre staff accept referrals to CCAC from providers that are participating in ASSIST test phase
Hospital to community referralsReferrals from one SGS provider to the community providersReferrals from a community mental health outreach team to community providersReferrals from one or two specific hospital clinics or units, e.g. falls clinic, diabetes clinic, or a rehab unit

Test Phase Target Areas - Analytical Framework Used
Description Description of the target area including the current state and the proposed change being considered for ASSIST test phase implementation
Overall Impact Overall impact of the proposed change being considered. Derived from analysis of the target area criteria.
Target Area Criteria: Impacts
Analysis of the target area against each of the target area criteria : Provides adequate referral volumes in order to truly test the implementation of the
modelReflects LHIN priorities: reduce ALC use and ED wait times in hospitals and support
clients in the communityAbility to demonstrate improvements in the system within the test phase period

Initial Thinking – Performance Measurement of Test Phase
Domain Draft Indicator Data SourceQuality Increased number of accurate referrals (or
reduced duplicative or inaccurate referrals) that can be acted upon
Common Referral and Intake Form (e.g. did staff consult each other prior
to routing referral)
Efficiency Reduced Lead time (between date of client contact or referral request and referral confirmation )
Common Referral and Intake Form (e.g. dates of service request, date of referral confirmation by recipient agency)
Client Satisfaction
Increased clarity among seniors/caregivers about what will happen next and who will help them next
Common Referral and Intake Form (e.g. questions at end of conversation with client and data capture on the form)
Staff Competency
Increased knowledge/understanding of the types and locations of various health services for seniors/caregivers
Customized Survey (based on G. Browne and David Ryan methodology pre-and post test phase)
System Co- ordination and Integration
Increased inter-agency collaboration, relationships and integration of referral and intake practices
Customized Survey (based on G. Browne and David Ryan methodology pre-and post test phase)

Enablers of Test Phase Implementation and Measurement
• Commitment of organizations participating in test phase • Tools such as the Agency Referral Search Tool• Utilizing the Community Service Portal features as a
resource (e.g. instant messaging, collaborative workspace, presence, secure e-mail, etc.)
• Staff Training and Change Management Structure/Roles • Availability of Project Team advice and trouble shooting• Measurement Resources/Expertise
