Contents 1. TC LHIN Quality Framework, Themes and Focus Areas 2. Big Dot System Indicators 3. List of Big Dot Indicators and Related Small Dot (Sector Specific) Indicators 4. List of Acronyms 5. Brief Summary About Databases Used for the Indicators 2

Elements of TC LHIN s Quality Framework Four main criteria in assembling indicators: Comprehensiveness across sectors Alignment with TC LHIN priorities, MOH, HQO, primary care and public health Focus transitions, chronic diseases, high potential to impact, system-wide Validity and Feasibility measurable, reliable, actionable etc Used principles from Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Framework and elements of other frameworks to guide work Acknowledge the significance of equity to quality Iterative process; will improve and be modified as evidence emerges 3

Themes and Focus Areas Overarching theme: To improve overall health status of people living within the TC LHIN as well as residents from outside our LHIN who receive care from our health service providers, and to improve outcomes and experience of care. Three inter-related themes and Six system indicators Theme 1: Appropriate Access to Care Focus on avoidable time in hospital Avoidable inpatient time Avoidable Emergency Department (ED) use Theme 2: Transitions of Care Focus on Patient Experience Communication/Information transfer to patient during transition Timeliness of hand-off of transition communication between providers Length of time waiting from time of referral to receiving next service Theme 3: Care for Patients with Complex and High Care Needs Appropriate management of patients with complex high care needs 4

Six Big Dot Quality System Indicators 1. Inpatient Readmissions within 30 days of discharge for selected Case Mix Groups (CMGs) (Stroke, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Congestive Heart Failure, Cardiac CMGs, Pneumonia, Diabetes, Gastro Intestinal, Asthma, Mental Health, and Addictions) 2. Repeat unscheduled Emergency Department use within 30 days for any reason (may focus on CTAS 4 & 5) 3. Percentage of hospital patients (ED or inpatient) who knew important discharge aspects e.g. danger signals to watch after going home, medication related information, when to resume usual activities, who to call if they need help (NRC Picker and other surveys) 4. 90 th Percentile Decision Time (Number of days from the date that the referral is sent to final response (Accept, Deny)). (Acute/Rehab/CCC//CCAC/CSS/CMHA) (RM&R and other databases) 5. 90 th Percentile Waiting Time from acceptance to admission (Acute/Rehab/CCC//CCAC/CSS/CMHA) (RM&R and other databases) 6. Percent of patients with complex high care needs identified that are targeted/receiving appropriate care (e.g. intensive case management (Developmental) 5
