Performance

We have been advised that the Ministry is currently working on a Province-wide information sharing agreement which would address some of these challenges.
Many of the challenges are due to the different platforms used across the system and a more detailed action planning process will be required to ensure the
project plan is complete and properly assesses the timetable for implementation across the wider system.
Accountability for DFs
The goal of this project is to improve accountability of hospitals which are not owned-and-operated by HAs, and to ensure that HAs have the tools required to
effectively oversee quality of health care services delivered within their region.
The project team is currently working to identify required system-level changes. Both HAs and DFs have been consulted and the project team has identified a
number of leading practices that can be used to strengthen governance within current legislation and the Master Agreement. This work is ongoing.
Adverse Event Protocol
This project updated the provincial protocol for adverse event management to include disclosure guidelines. It includes a matrix which establishes when
notification is required based on the number of individuals impacted and the severity of the event. It then outlines what type of reporting is required based on the
assessment of the event and how it maps to the matrix.
In the past, notification was voluntary. The revised protocol makes notification of more serious events mandatory.
The updated protocol was finalized and went into effect on April 2, 2012.
