38 ANALYSIS: Priorities for Investment When the priorities for investment were developed, the ministry had not yet communicated the funding and specific investments to the LHIN. The LHIN planned for $32.5 million in base and one-time investments including $18 million base for the community sector. When the LHIN received the funding letter, the majority of the investments were directed by the ministry, with only $4.2 million discretionary. This resulted in a different allocation by strategic priority than was approved by the Board. Some of the planned initiatives were also implemented later than anticipated resulting in an opportunity for additional one-time funding in sustainability and patient services initiatives. Examples of these include community capital and one-time support for service pressures or for meeting legislated requirements. The recommended revisions to 2016/17 funding amounts, along with updated investment information, is shown in Table 1 below: Table 1: Funded Investments for 2016/17 Strategic Priority Approved (May 2016) Up to: ($millions) February 2017 Updated Forecast Up to: ($millions) One-Time Base Total Key Projects Better Seniors Care $8.0 $1.5 $7.1 $8.6 Assisted Living and Home First spots Better Palliative Care $0.5 $1.4 $0.5 $1.9 CCAC Palliative Services Enhanced services for complex and crisis Better Community Care $14.0 $4.6 $9.8 $14.4 patients, Home for the Holidays program, Caregiver Respite Tele-opthalmology, FLS Navigator, Mental Better Care for Underserved $0.5 $0.1 $0.3 $0.4 Health and Addictions Franophone Outreach Communities Services Better Mental Health $3.0 $0.1 $0.0 Evaluation of Mental Health and Addictions $0.1 Initiatives Achievement of MLAA $3.0 $3.0 $0.0 $3.0 CT and MRI hours, ALC initiatives Sustainability $3.5 $3.6 $0.3 Community capital, legislated and contractual $3.9 obligations, Hospital one-time pressures TOTAL $32.5 $14.3 $18.1 $32.3 BACKGROUND: Source of Funds At the May 31, 2016 Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved strategic priorities and the associated funding to guide Central LHIN staff when allocating discretionary funds. The revised forecast for funds available for discretionary investment is consistent with the forecast presented to the Board in May; however, available one-time funds have increased due to the timing of investments as noted above. This has driven a change in the funding allocation priorities as outlined above. The updated amounts available to the LHIN are shown below in Table 2. 2

39 Table 2: Forecasted Funds Available for Investment in May 2016 Estimate February 2017 Forecast Base Funds New Community Investment 18,000,000 17,881,600 Unallocated Base 2,000,000 1,753,150 Sub-Total: Base Funds 20,000,000 19,634,750 One-Time Funds Urgent Priorities Funds 3,609,369 3,609,369 In-Year Surplus (base programs- no restrictions) 350, ,100 In-Year Surplus (Community Investment- restricted) 1 3,000,000 8,501,561 Sub-Total: One-Time Funds 6,959,369 12,705,030 Total: Funds $26,959,369 $32,339,780 Note 1: The increase in In-Year Surplus -Community Investment is due to unanticipated late start of CCAC new funded programs NEXT STEPS: Upon Board approval of the updated funding allocations, the Central LHIN staff will finalize the remainder of the allocations for fiscal year 2016/17. 3

43 60 Renfrew Drive, Suite 300 Markham, ON L3R 0E1 Tel: Fax: Toll Free: CENTRAL LHIN BOARD OF DIRECTORS BRIEFING NOTE NORTH YORK GENERAL HOSPITAL PRE-CAPITAL SUBMISSIONS Part A February 28, 2017 ITEM 8.1 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: WHEREAS on November 1, 2016, North York General Hospital (the hospital) submitted two Pre- Capital Submission Forms Part A with respect to Heart Function Clinic Renovations and Chemotherapy and Pharmacy Admixture Room Renovations, with its own funds, for review; and WHEREAS the Heart Function Clinic Renovations is focused on renovating the current Heart Function Clinic in order to improve safety, resolve work flow inefficiencies, and improve privacy for patients and families; and WHEREAS the Chemotherapy and Pharmacy Admixture Room Renovations is focused on renovating the current Chemotherapy Clinic and Pharmacy Admixture Room to meet the regulatory standards for Hazardous Compounding put forward by the Ontario College of Pharmacists, resolve hospital workflow inefficiencies, and improve patient and staff experience; and WHEREAS Central LHIN staff have reviewed the hospital s submissions and determined that they address the requirements outlined in the MOHLTC-LHIN Joint Review Framework for Early Capital Planning Stages with respect to program and service elements of the proposal; BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Central LHIN Board of Directors endorses the North York General Hospital s Pre-Capital Submissions Part A, with its own funds, in respect of the renovations of: a. Heart Function Clinic; and b. Chemotherapy and Pharmacy Admixture Room.

44 ANALYSIS: The hospital has submitted two own-funds capital projects that are focused on renovating space in its General site to improve patient experience while delivering effective and quality care to the North York General Hospital community. Heart Function Clinic Renovations The Heart Function Clinic is a culmination of a number of cardiology clinics, including: The Rapid Cardiology Assessment Clinic, Arrhythmia Clinic, Pacemaker Clinic, and Heart Failure Clinic. These clinical services have provided follow-up care for post-surgical patients and patients who were deemed safe for discharge from the Emergency Department. This own-funds proposal, estimated to cost $1,721,827, proposes to physically combine the Heart Function Clinic from its current layout of 2 separate rooms (5 exam spaces and administrative spaces) to a consolidated space in order to improve patient safety, increase work flow efficiencies, and improve privacy for patients and families. A redeveloped Heart Function Clinic space would also allow the hospital to further explore innovative practices such as the use of telemedicine with this patient population. The hospital has indicated that the Clinic requires renovations due to a lack of sufficient physical space that is required to accommodate the needs of patients and staff. The majority of patients that visit the Clinic are elderly and often require mobility aids such as walkers or wheelchairs. The tight space is not conducive for these patients. Likewise, the current work space is too small and poorly configured for the Clinic s inter-professional team, which compromises the team s work flow and negatively impacts the team s ability to work efficiently. In addition, the current space size and layout impedes patient privacy and confidentiality. Chemotherapy and Pharmacy Admixture Room Renovations The Chemotherapy Clinic is an outpatient service that provides chemotherapy to the hospital s cancer patients. The Pharmacy Admixture Room is where the hospital s medications are prepared, packaged and dispensed. This own-funds proposal, estimated to cost $3,103,692, will renovate the current space to meet new provincial standards, improve hospital workflow efficiencies, and improve patient and staff experience. The hospital s Pharmacy and Admixture space does not meet the regulatory standards put forward by the Ontario College of Pharmacists on September 20, These standards stipulate that all hospital pharmacies must comply with the new Hazardous Compounding codes by January 1, Hospitals that do not comply with the recommendations will be forced to cease all compounding activities, which will negatively impact the level of service that North York General Hospital can provide to its patients, especially those receiving chemotherapy. The current arrangement of the Chemotherapy Clinic provides limited privacy for patients and families making this renovation important to better accommodate patient privacy and confidentiality. The hospital has indicated that the two projects will not have significant operational implications in terms of operating costs or staffing. LHIN staff has reviewed the submissions and confirms that they have met the threshold for LHIN support outlined in the Joint Review Framework, including alignment between the proposed services and local health system priorities. 2

45 Alignment with IHSP The proposals align with the Central LHIN s IHSP by ensuring that patients have access to care that supports the best patient experiences in the right environment. In particular, the LHIN s strategic priority of better seniors care will be advanced as the hospital renovates its outpatient services. COMMUNITY & STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION The hospital has received positive feedback from its internal stakeholder engagements regarding both projects. It plans on conducting additional consultations with other Health Service Providers in subsequent planning stages, to explore innovative service delivery models, service realignments, and alternatives redevelopment options to enhance the patient experience. BACKGROUND: The Ministry-LHIN Accountability Agreement sets out the roles and responsibilities of LHINs with respect to capital initiatives proposed by a Health Service Provider related to the a construction, renewal or renovation of a facility or a site. The LHIN is required to review Part A of a Health Service Provider s Pre-Capital submission and provide advice and/or endorsement to the Ministry; The MOHLTC-LHIN Joint Review Framework defines the role of the LHIN in the review of capital submissions. The LHIN focuses on the alignment between the proposed programs and services outlined in the project and the needs of the local health system. The role of the ministry is to review and approve the project including all physical, cost, program and service elements from a provincial perspective. A schematic summarizing the various stages of the capital planning process is as follows: Overview of Capital Planning Process Planning Grants: 3 possible approval milestones: proposal development, functional program, design development Construction Grant Pre-Capital (Part A & B) Stage 1 Proposal (Part A & B) Stage 2 Functional Program (Part A & B) Stage 3 Preliminary Design Or Output Specifications Stage 4 Working Drawings Or Output Specifications Stage 5 Implementation Review and support of Pre-Capital Submission. Proposal Development grant Review and approval Review and approval of Stage 1 Submission. of Stage 2 Functional Program Functional Program. grant. Design Development grant Requires Government approval to plan Review and approval of blocks and sketch plans; approval to proceed to working drawings OR blocks/output specifications Requires Government approval to construct Review and approval to tender & implement/issue RFP OR approval to award construction contract/ Project Agreement. 3

46 The Joint Planning Framework requires a health service provider to address a number of key criteria in the development of a Pre-Capital Submission Part A. These criteria include: A narrative description of the program/service need to be addressed by the project; A statistical description of the program/service need to be addressed by the project; A description of how the program/service need supports local health system integration and a unified system of care; Support from other stakeholders with respect to the project; Any significant operational implications of the project; Alternative program/service solutions. NEXT STEPS: Upon Board endorsement of the Pre-Capital Submissions Part A, the LHIN staff will notify the Ministry and the North York General Hospital with a direction for the hospital to submit the Pre-Capital Submissions Part A & B to the MOHLTC. 4

51 Central LHIN CEO Report - Items for Information CEO Highlights 9.0 CEO Highlights Patients First Transition Planning Collaboration continues across the Central LHIN and Central CCAC teams to support readiness for transition. There is continued focus on completing pan-lhin work along with requirements within Deloitte s readiness checklist (Ministry s consultant to support all LHINs for transition). The specific date for CCAC assets and employees to transition to the LHIN is pending. We will have further clarity in the weeks ahead, possibly by mid-april, on a likely timeframe for transition. The organizational structure continues to roll out through a transparent and open process. The new LHIN management structure has been shared across both organizations. There is also a process underway to cascade confirmation of staff, which is progressing well. Some positions at the senior level and at the Director level to replace vacancies will be required. Human Resources staff from both organizations are involved in the staff confirmation process. Meantime, the Communications staff are continuing to develop and share updates with all staff, as well as with Central LHIN Health Services Providers. In recognition of bringing together the LHIN and CCAC teams, a change management plan to engage all LHIN and CCAC staff is being developed. This work is being led by CCAC organizational effectiveness and communications staff. All staff will be invited to local forums in the weeks ahead to participate in transition conversations to support a smooth, seamless transition. Transformation Planning Previous reports have shared updates on the Central LHIN s six sub-regions which were approved by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care in December With the six sub-regions, Central LHIN planners, providers and partners will look at care patterns through a smaller, more local lens, and be better able to identify and respond to community and patient needs. This includes the needs of Francophone Ontarians, Indigenous communities, newcomers and other individuals and groups within the Central LHIN whose health care needs are unique and who often experience challenges accessing and navigating the health care system. With the geographies of our six sub-regions now confirmed, we are rolling out a sub-region engagement plan. We have invited all Central LHIN Health Service Providers (HSPs) to join a webinar in March to discuss sub-region planning current status, engagement plan, how the LHIN is working partnership to co-design a robust patient-centered approach, and timelines. This is our second sub-region planning webinar with local HSPs. Following the webinar, we will host community engagement sessions to share robust dialogue on opportunities to improve the local health care system. We can anticipate that dialogues will include opportunities for elements of consistency across the LHIN, empowering sub-regions to identify their Central LHIN Board of Directors Page 1 CEO Report February 28, 2017

52 Central LHIN CEO Report - Items for Information own priorities to improve system performance, defining a more inter-dependent perspective to strengthen the patient experience, and including the patient voice in planning. Other Stakeholder Engagement Related to engaging with health care stakeholders, the Central LHIN senior management team met with thirteen service provider organizations active in the home and community care sector in February. As well, on February 22, I met with members of the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario. AFHTO organized this collaborative workshop in Markham to discuss primary care with Executive Directors, Lead Physicians and Board Directors of AFHTO-member organizations within Central LHIN region. I was pleased to participate and share dialogue on initiatives and updates from the LHIN. 9.1 Business Arising Business Arising No business arising items noted in follow up to the January 31, 2017 Board meeting /17 Q2 Hospital Sector Performance Appendix A Summary: As per the reporting requirements outlined in the Hospital Service Accountability Agreement, Central LHIN hospitals have submitted reports with details of performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016/17. Central LHIN hospitals generally performed well compared to the targets set out in the Agreements, with the exception of Alternate Level of Care (ALC) and Emergency Department (ED) Length of Stay for Complex Patients. Hospital-specific performance is provided below. A full performance dashboard can be found in Appendix A. Humber River Hospital Year-end Results Total LHIN Funding: $334.4 million Number of Beds: 562 Number of FTEs: 2,826 Performance, Contracts and Allocation Year-End Surplus (H-SAA definition): $(287,500) (-0.07% of revenue) Cash and Investments: $10.8 million Long-term Debt: $159.2 million % of Total Debt: 8.12% Humber River Hospital is generally performing well compared to Hospital Service Accountability Agreement (H-SAA) targets with the exception of those indicators noted below: Day Surgery Weighted Cases: Decreased volumes are primarily a result of lower than expected volumes during the summer months. The hospital expects that that volumes will increase during the second half of the year and approach target by fiscal year-end. Central LHIN Board of Directors Page 2 CEO Report February 28, 2017

53 Central LHIN CEO Report - Items for Information Year-end Total Margin: Forecasted year-end margin was based on information available as of early November With the additional PCOP funding that the hospital received in Q3, the hospital now expects to have a balanced financial position by fiscal year-end. ED Length of Stay for Complex Patients: The decline in performance from the previous quarter was driven by the LOS of its admitted patients. The hospital continues to implement strategies targeting the complex admitted patient population, including the implementation of tools to improve patient flow. In addition, the hospital has made significant revisions to its ED staffing model, including increased physician availability by 20 hours/day, improving shift alignment between nurses and physicians, and recently hired 9 new ED physicians. Notably, the hospital has made significant improvements (nearly 7 hours) from the previous year. The admitted patient LOS decreased from 26.4 hrs. (FY 2015/16) to 19.6 hrs. YTD (Q2). ALC: Performance continues to be driven by the high volume of open ALC cases (89%, as of September 2016) at Humber who are waiting for placement in Long-Term Care. In Q2, 2016/17, 44 long stay ALC patients were discharged, which was the highest volume amongst all Central LHIN hospitals. The hospital continues to actively participate in Central LHIN ALC Collaborative initiatives and has led the development of the escalation and substitute decision maker (SDM) algorithm to support communications with patients and families throughout the transition process. This algorithm will be implemented across all Central LHIN hospitals. CT and MRI: Increased demand for CT and MRI services since the opening of the Wilson site has contributed to longer wait times at Humber. CT and MRI priority 4 requests exceed capacity by 40% and 21%, respectively. This is compounded by higher priority 1 (emergency) referrals which displace lower priority cases on which the performance metric is based. It is expected that the addition of a new CT scanner at Humber in March should result in improved CT wait times by June. North York General Hospital Year-end Results Total LHIN Funding: $ million Number of Beds: 421 Number of FTEs: 2,155 Year-End Surplus (H-SAA definition): $6.6 million (1.76% of revenue) Cash and Investments: $33.8 million Long-term Debt: $14.7 million % of Total Debt: 5.66% North York General Hospital is generally performing well compared to Hospital Service Accountability Agreement (H-SAA) targets with the exception of those indicators noted below: Inpatient Mental Health Weighted Patient Days: Decreased volumes are being driven by lower than expected occupancy rates as well as data quality issues which were corrected as of November The hospital has taken patient transfers from other hospitals when beds are available. ALC: North York General Hospital s performance in ALC is driven by the continued increase in volume of open ALC cases. The majority of these patients are waiting for placement in Long- Term Care (73%) and Rehabilitative Care (13%) (as of September 2016). The hospital continues to actively participate in Central LHIN initiatives to improve ALC. Central LHIN Board of Directors Page 3 CEO Report February 28, 2017

54 Central LHIN CEO Report - Items for Information ED Length of Stay for Complex Patients: The hospital improved in its performance for wait time for admitted patients, from 28.5 hrs. (Q1) to 23.7 hrs. (Q2). The hospital was able to create inpatient capacity by discharging long stay rehab patients, opening an 8-bed short stay unit, and using the surgical beds that normally close over the summer. The hospital continues to refine its ED escalation protocols and work on internal processes that target patient flow and ALC patients. It has also embarked on a number of projects, including ways to reduce physician consult time and improving the use of diagnostic imaging in the ED. CT: Performance was driven by longer wait times for Priority 3 cases which were due to scheduling issues which have been corrected. The hospital has shown an improvement through Q3. Rate of Hospital-Acquired C. Difficile Infections (CDI): The target for the HSAA indicator is set to the Hospital s Quality Improvement Plan target and it is of note that North York General has set a stringent target for this indicator. North York General has consistently achieved good results in this indicator as compared to their benchmark peer group of hospitals. The hospital uses a molecular CDI test that detects 25-30% more CDI cases than tests used at many other centres. In addition, the hospital operates in an older physical facility comprised of mostly multi-bed rooms which increases the risk of infection. Southlake Regional Health Centre Year-end Results Total LHIN Funding: $290.1 million Number of Beds: 391 Number of FTEs: 2,303 Year-End Surplus (H-SAA definition): $8.8 million (2.29% of revenue) Cash and Investments: $18.7 million Long-term Debt: $28.1 million % of Total Debt: 9.28% Southlake Regional Health Centre faced challenges in meeting 2015/16 H-SAA targets for ED Length of Stay, wait times for diagnostic services and certain clinical activity volumes. Specific performance challenges are noted below: ALC: Southlake has seen an increase in ALC Rate from Q1 to Q2 2016/17. The top discharge destination for open ALC cases continues to be Long-Term Care, with 70% of their ALC patients waiting for Long-Term Care, as of September In December 2016, Central LHIN has provided one time funding to the hospital to implement an Outpatient Stroke/Neurological Rehab Program to facilitate earlier discharge of patients with moderate strokes and save acute patient days. Southlake continues to actively participate in other Central LHIN ALC initiatives, including the ALC Working Group and subgroups. ED Length of Stay for Complex Patients: The decline in performance was driven by the wait time for admitted patients. The hospital continues to express challenges related to Mental Health bed capacity, and is working on establishing a surge plan for its mental health patients waiting in the ED. More specifically, the hospital is developing an escalation process that will be triggered by the identification of a specified number of mental health patients presenting in ED. CT: Increased demand for CT services as well as a greater proportion of higher priority cases has contributed to longer CT wait times at Southlake. Demand for emergency and inpatient CT cases increased by 10% in Q2. This increased demand for higher priority cases limits capacity available for lower priority cases and also decreases overall efficiency. The hospital has invested global funds to increase CT operating hours to mitigate impact on wait times. Central LHIN Board of Directors Page 4 CEO Report February 28, 2017

55 Central LHIN CEO Report - Items for Information Mackenzie Health Year-end Results Total LHIN Funding: $178.6 million Number of Beds: 356 Number of FTEs: 1,797 Year-End Surplus (H-SAA definition): $0 (0.00% of revenue) Cash and Investments: $28 million Long-term Debt: $24 million % of Total Debt: 8.99% Mackenzie Health is generally performing well compared to H-SAA targets with the exception of those indicators noted below: ALC: Mackenzie Health has seen an increase in both Percentage ALC Days and ALC Rate. The majority (75%) of open ALC cases are waiting for placement in Long-Term Care (as of September 2016). Mackenzie Health is working with Central LHIN, Humber River Hospital and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care in implementing a transition strategy that utilizes existing space at Humber River Hospital s York-Finch site to improve bed capacity at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital. ED Length of Stay for Complex Patients: The decline in performance was driven by the wait time for admitted patients. The hospital continues to work on implementing initiatives targeted at improving patient flow of admitted patients, such as increasing hours of availability of Geriatric Emergency Management nurses in the ED and implementing a corporate discharge planner to improve internal processes. Markham Stouffville Hospital Year-end Results Total LHIN Funding: $173.1 million Number of Beds: 279 Number of FTEs: 1,441 Total Surplus (H-SAA definition): $4.0 million (1.75% of revenue) Cash and Investments: $49.6 million Long-term Debt: $29.2 million % of Total Debt: 6.74% Markham Stouffville is performing well on H-SAA indicators with the exception of those indicators noted below. ALC: Both Percentage ALC Days and ALC Rate has increased at Markham Stouffville Hospital from Q1 to Q2 2016/17 reporting period. As of September 2016, the top discharge destination for open ALC cases is Long-Term Care (78%). Markham Stouffville Hospital continues to participate actively in Central LHIN ALC initiatives, including the ALC Working Group and subgroups. They are a pilot site implementing improved hospital discharge planning in conjuction with CCAC care coordination in hospitals. Rate of Hospital-Acquired C. Difficile Infections (CDI): Performance was mainly driven by multiple room closures at the Uxbridge site which limited space and hence increased risk of infection, and also resulted in a decrease in total patient days which increases the rate for the metric. This issue has been addressed and mitigation strategies put in place to prevent future impact. The hospital has also implemented focused education and orientation regarding hand hygiene as well as monitoring mechanisms to track audits. Central LHIN Board of Directors Page 5 CEO Report February 28, 2017

56 Central LHIN CEO Report - Items for Information Stevenson Memorial Hospital Year-end Results Total LHIN Funding: $20.0 million Number of Beds (average): 38 Number of FTEs (average): 172 Year-End Surplus (H-SAA definition): $39,800 (0.14% of revenue) Cash and Investments: $1.9 million Long-term Debt Year-end: $0 % of Total Debt: 0% Stevenson is performing well compared to H-SAA targets, with the exception of those indicators noted below. ALC: From the Q1 to Q2 reporting period, Stevenson s performance in Percentage ALC Days decreased from 17.0% to 11.8%; while their performance in ALC Rate increased from 13.1% to 18.2%. As a small community hospital with relatively low patient volumes, their performance in both indicators can be easily impacted by the addition or avoidance of 1-2 long stay patients within the quarter. As of September 2016, all of the ALC patients are waiting for placement in Long-Term Care. Central LHIN has recently provided funding to Stevenson to implement foundational elements of the Assess and Restore model, to support development and implementation of a fulsome Restorative Care Project in 2017/ /18 Opening Cash Allocations Appendix B Consistent with previous years, the LHIN has received direction from the Financial Management Branch of the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care ( the Ministry ) to roll-over prior year base funding to 2017/18. The objective is to continue to provide funding to Health Service Providers at the level of the previous year base funds to enable programs and services to continue to be delivered. The rollover amounts are based on the amounts recorded in the financial systems in the Ministry as at January 31, 2017 and are in Appendix B for information. 9.4 Funding Allocation Delegated Authority February 2017 Appendix C A list of funding delegations approved by Central LHIN staff since the January 31, 2017 Board of Directors meeting is attached in Appendix C. Planning, Integration and Community Engagement 9.5 Mackenzie Health Proposal Putting Patients First: A solution to address imminent patient safety risk in South West York Region On January 30, 2017, the Central LHIN and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) received a proposal from Mackenzie Health ( the hospital') to transfer up to 90 complex continuing care (CCC) and rehabilitation (rehab) beds to Humber River Hospital s York-Finch site. The hospital has been in discussions with the Humber River Hospital, Central LHIN and the MOHLTC since October 2016 to explore this initiative. The proposal is intended to address the critical overcapacity issues at the hospital s Richmond Hill site, and mitigate the current risk to patient safety, quality, and access to care from now until the opening of the Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital in 2020/21. The Central LHIN sent a letter to the MOHLTC on February 8, 2017 confirming its support for the hospital s proposal. Upon approval by the MOHLTC, the LHIN will work with the hospital to determine next steps and to ensure that all appropriate MOHLTC approvals are received where required. Central LHIN Board of Directors Page 6 CEO Report February 28, 2017

57 Central LHIN CEO Report - Items for Information Mackenzie Health has also indicated that it has submitted a separate multi-hospital proposal in collaboration with Central LHIN partner hospitals that includes a detailed solution for increasing Alternative Level of Care (ALC) capacity at the Humber Regional Hospital York-Finch site. The proposal is currently under review by the MOHLTC and the LHIN. 9.6 Influenza Activity Report & Holiday Planning Update Since January 2017, the Central LHIN has been participating in weekly ministry-led teleconferences to monitor surge activity across the province. Surveillance data from 131 hospitals in Ontario showed a rise in Emergency Department (ED) visits between December 2016 and January 2017, with peak activity over the holiday period. Across the province, ED volumes in December 2016 were 3.5% higher compared to December In Central LHIN, ED visits in December 2016 were 3.9% higher and the admissions from ED increased by 5.7% compared to December Influenza-related activity was at elevated seasonal levels across the province in January 2017, contributing to province-wide surge activities and increased inpatient admissions for patients diagnosed with respiratory conditions. As with previous H3N2-dominant seasons, two distinct periods of elevated influenza activity are expected: a larger peak occurring in January due to increased influenza A activity, and a smaller peak which is usually expected in March/early April due to increased influenza B activity. Based on the weekly Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) Activity Level indicator, influenza activity in Central LHIN was at elevated seasonal levels in January 2017 but has now reduced back to low seasonal levels. The Central LHIN Holiday Planning Working Group has been working with hospitals, Central CCAC, York Public Health and other community partners to develop and implement strategies to ensure a systemic approach to mitigate the overcrowding and surge conditions in hospitals during the winter holiday period. 1. Patient transitions from Acute Care to Long Term Care Central LHIN Hospitals and Long Term Care Homes have continued to use the Acute Care to Long Term Care (LTC) Home Transfer Checklist and Patient Transitions during Outbreak Guidance Document and Process Flow Document to support communications, decision making and repatriation of patients from hospitals to Long Term Care Homes. System partners have indicated that Central LHIN Board of Directors Page 7 CEO Report February 28, 2017

58 Central LHIN CEO Report - Items for Information these tools have been useful in facilitating better communication and patient transitioning between acute care and Long Term Care Homes. 2. Enhanced Communication and Public Awareness Promotion of the Central Healthline Holiday Hours webpage among Central LHIN health service providers (HSPs) and primary care providers drove 1,610 page views, compared to 767 page views in 2015; indicating a 108% increase. Central LHIN also developed and distributed various communication materials to all Central LHIN health service providers (HSPs) and primary care physicians to outline resources available for them to use over the winter holidays. 3. Patient Support in the Community In December 2016, the Central CCAC launched Home for the Holidays, an initiative that enabled select hospital patients to return home for 15 days over the holiday season with enhanced CCAC services. As of January 9, 2017, 60 patients were identified and successfully transferred home; over 80% of these patients remained at home following the 15-day enhanced services. The Central CCAC will continue to evaluate this initiative through patient satisfaction surveys and an internal review to for longer-term sustainability of the program. Furthermore, the eighth CCAC nursing clinic was open in October 2016 in Richmond Hill. The overall utilization of all CCAC clinics was 74% in December The Central CCAC will continue to promote and increase the utilization of the community nursing clinics.
