Board to Board Engagement

CE LHIN Board to Board Engagement - updated August 5, 2010

In June 2008, the Central East LHIN Board of Directors initiated a new phase of its community engagement framework that focused on creating a culture of cooperation at the governance level within the LHIN.  Known as the Board-to-Board Engagement Strategy, the Central East LHIN established three Board to Board Collaboratives – in the Scarborough cluster, the Durham cluster and the North East cluster (Haliburton, Kawartha, Northumberland, Peterborough)  – that aim to foster the following:

  • A culture of cooperation in which each health service provider understands the other’s contribution to the overall health system and its performance
  • A forum for joint strategic planning and the identification of integration opportunities and
  • The sharing of best practices and tools to raise the bar of health care governance

Governance representatives from LHIN funded health care providers and Board representatives of Foundations that support LHIN funded health care providers who are interested in joining one of these Collaboratives are asked to review the Terms of Reference and complete a Membership Agreement Form.

On September 28, 2010, the LHIN is hosting a Board Governance Forum.  The purpose of the Forum is to share vital information with all Central East LHIN health service provider boards and will include discussions of Provincial and CE LHIN priorities, as well as integration expectations and opportunities. An expected outcome of this important event will be a model that will move the board to board engagement dialogue forward and ultimately help us achieve a sustainable health care system in the Central East LHIN.

Each Central East LHIN health service provider is expected to send their Board Chair (or designate) and their CEO/Executive Director (or designate) to this event.

For more information on this event, health service providers can contact Karen O'Brien, Public Affairs at karen.obrien@lhins.on.ca.  All HSPs must be registered by September 15th.

 

LHIN/HSP GOVERNANCE RESOURCE AND TOOLKIT FOR VOLUNTARY INTEGRATION INITIATIVES

The Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) announces the release of the Local Health Integration Network/Health Service Provider Governance Resource and Toolkit for Voluntary Integration Initiatives.  The toolkit was developed through a joint initiative of five Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs), associations representing the health service providers funded through the LHINs, and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The project was initiated in November 2007, in response to early consultations between the LHINs and health service providers regarding the provisions for voluntary integration in the Local Health Systems Integration Act, 2006.  LEARN MORE
