11. 11 Developing a New System Key Considerations Canada spends more money on health care than most countries Canada does not receive the best outcomes Canada is the youngest country of the G7 Canada’s population is aging at a fast rate Older countries (e.g. UK) did not see their health systems collapse as they aged All other Provinces devolved health care – moved to some form of regionalization

12. 12 Ontario’s Response 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) have been set up throughout all of Ontario Somewhat similar to Regional Health Authorities in all other Canadian Provinces, but also very different –Similar characteristics Devolved regionalization, including decision making and funding Focus on system integration –Different characteristics All Boards continue to exist Focus on system management Provincial system and local system linked Local provider boards continue to exist and provide leadership to their organizations LHINs are responsible for managing the system, not operating services

13. 13 Transformation of the Ontario System The New LHIN Environment Province is in controlProvince is steward Acute Care is the hubPrimary Healthcare is the hub System is fragmentedSystem is seamless Accountability focuses on blameAccountability focus on outcomes and improvement

14. 14 Government’s Vision The Hon. George Smitherman, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care: “A health care system that helps people stay healthy, delivers good care to them when they are sick, and will be there for their children and grandchildren.”
