Central East LHIN Integrated Health Service Plan (IHSP)
In November 2006, when the Central East LHIN released its Integrated Health Service Plan, it stated that “this
initial Integrated Health Service Plan is focused on system design with a focus on key health care priorities for
change.” The Plan provided “upstream” strategies – such as disease prevention and management, housing,
cultural competency - which will reduce unnecessary use of limited and more expensive health care services
“downstream.”
Implementation of the IHSP
In 2009/10, health service providers, patients and stakeholders from across the region continued to work on
completing projects related to the implementation of the 2007–2010 Integrated Health Service Plan (IHSP) and
began planning for the 2010-2013 IHSP. In the 2007-2010 IHSP, 117 goals were identified and of those 94%
were either completed, linked to another initiative or project or are continuing into 2010-2011. Of the thirty four
priority projects implemented as part of the first IHSP, 53% were conducted as projects and produced deliverables
within scope, on time and on budget, 20% of the recommendations are being managed through projects currently
in process and an additional 13% of the recommendations were achieved either through linkages to other projects,
initiatives or managed as a process.
Projects in the 2007-2010 IHSP
specifically benefited identified
populations in three priority areas –
Seamless Care for Seniors; Chronic
Disease Prevention and
Management; and Mental Health
and Addictions.
Percent Population Aged 65 and over
Seamless Care for Seniors
Seamless Care for Seniors’
Framework - completed
The Planning Framework for
Seamless Care for Seniors
within the Central East LHIN
was developed by the Central
East LHIN Seamless Care for
Seniors Network and contained
a Vision, a Mission statement,
Guiding Principles, Planning
Pillars and Enablers. The
framework acted as a guideline
for providers, consumers and
LHIN staff and Board, as they
collectively planned and
implemented a seamless
system of care and supports for
seniors.
