What The CCACs Have Initiated in e-Health
Client Health Related Information System (CHRIS) & Health Partner Gateway• Foundational, provincial capability that significantly enhances the CCAC’s ability
to serve its clients
LHIN and Provincial wide Information and Referral capability (I&R)• Improves and simplifies navigation across the health system for clients• Creates a focal point within the health system that unifies and coordinates the
efforts of today’s individual I&R service providers
Standardized Client Assessments (Assessment)• Promotes uniformity in how clients are assessed for CCAC services, and promotes
equity in services provisioned for clients
Information Exchange and Positioning for Evidence Based Decision Making (IM)• Enhances the CCAC’s capability to access, manage, and analyze their data to
support evidence based decision making, and exchange their data with health sector partners to promote better health system-wide analysis and performance
Mobile, Productive Workforce (Telecom, and BTI)• Increasing ability for CCAC case managers to work productively with clients in
their homes, hospitals, or the community, through seamless access to CCAC telecom and IT services

CHRIS & HPG
CHRIS is a multi-year, sector based initiative.
The CHRIS project will see the design and development of a comprehensive clinical case management solution for Ontario’s Community Care Access Centers (CCACs)
A secure solution that enables a CCAC to electronically exchange information with its Service Providers and Health Partners
Enables the consolidation of today’s gateway solutions onto a single platform (e.g. CHIN, CARE eCommerce, Hamilton Portal, etc.)

Information & ReferralBusiness Problem:
• Citizens and CCAC personnel cannot easily access quality information about services outside of their immediate geographical area
• CCAC Alignment has necessitated an alignment of I&R applications
Objectives:• Boundary-free, consistent access to health, community, and social
service information for all Ontario citizens, and CCAC employees
Deliverables (under development):• A search site that provides access to all approved provincial I&R
information (CCAC’s and approved partners)• A single published phone number that provides citizens access to
CCAC I&R personnel for support• An improved method of measuring and reporting on use, to inform
program evolution
HNHB CCAC & e-Health November 18, 2008
22
AssessmentBusiness Problem:
• Standardizing how clients are assessed for health services, is a critical step in ensuring consistent quality and equity in health service delivery
Objectives:• MOHLTC, via CCeH, undertook a program to standardize client assessments for the
Continuing Care Sector, based on the InterRAI assessment standards• For the CCAC Sector, CCeH has created and deployed a Long Stay Assessment tool called
LSAS, and is in the stage of rolling out a Client Intake Assessment tool called CIAT
Deliverables:• LSAS ongoing support and enhancement (current)• CIAT rollout, and ongoing support and enhancements to address CIAT adoption gaps
(current)• CIAT and LSAS integration with CHRIS to ensure that assessment tools are properly
integrated with the prime client management tool used by the CCACs (current)• Ongoing assessment of other instruments for use by CCACs (planned)• Better leverage of Assessment data by CCACs and by health sector agencies (InterRAI,
CIHI, etc) (planned)

Information Management
Information Management is critical to the health system transition to evidence based decision making, and system performance measurement
The CCAC IM programs create a solid CCAC foundation through• Standardizing Data Definitions• Improved access to critical CCAC data for analysis• A comprehensive data sharing agreement to allow secure data
sharing among CCACs, and between CCACs and other health partners (in compliance with PHIPPA)
• An emerging knowledge center to enhance the sectors health informatics capabilities
