Sioux Lookout Local Health Hub Profile
Introduction
This profile is one of a series of 14, corresponding to each of the 14 Local Health Hubs (LHHs) in the
North West LHIN. The Sioux Lookout LHH is the only LHH in the Northern Integrated District Network
(IDN), which in turn is one of the five IDNs in the North West LHIN’s new integrated health system model.
The map below illustrates the location of the Local Health Hub communities and the Integrated District
Networks.

Based on 2006 Census; questions on Aboriginal identity not included in 2011 Census.
Key Findings:
 The population of the Sioux Lookout LHH is younger than in the broader North West LHIN;
 The proportion of the residents who self-identify as aboriginal is much higher than in and of the
other IDNs and the broader North West LHIN.

Survey (CCHS) for the Northwestern Health Unit (NWHU), Thunder Bay District Health Unit (TBDHU),

There are two public health units in the North West LHIN area – Northwestern Health Unit (NWHU) and Thunder
Bay District Health Unit (TBDHU). The Northwestern Health Unit area corresponds to the Northern, Kenora and
Rainy River IDN areas of the North West LHIN. The Thunder Bay District Health Unit area corresponds to the City of
Thunder Bay and the Thunder Bay District IDN areas of the North West LHIN.

Individuals are identified as having diabetes if they have had at least one hospitalization or two physician service
claims over a two-year period with a diabetes related diagnostic code. Women with gestational diabetes are not
included. Prevalence numbers are refined based on feedback from physicians who review patient lists and provide
validation on diabetes status.
1. Testing rates for HbA1c and LDL-C only include tests conducted in community labs and captured in the
Claims History Database (CHDB). Lab tests for A1C or LDL-C conducted in hospitals are not individually
submitted and therefore cannot be analysed for diabetes patients. Analysis of Eye Exams is also based on
CHDB. Only retinal eye exams where a fee-for-service claim was submitted are included. Exams that were
paid out-of-pocket by the patient are not included. Some providers (i.e., ophthalmologists in alternate
payment plans) may not submit claims. The percent of patients receiving exams may be underestimated in
areas where there are a larger proportion of non-FFS providers conducting retinal eye exams
Key Findings:


The North West LHIN has a higher prevalence of diabetes at 11.3% of the adult population (age
18 and over) vs. 9.3% provincially;
As of March 31, 2012, the number has increased to 22,345, 11.8% of the adult population
compared to 9.7% provincially.
3
The Baseline Diabetes Database Initiative (BDDI) was created by the Ministry using a validated algorithm to identify
Ontario residents, age 18+, with diabetes based on administrative data sources.

Acute Care
The Sioux Lookout Local Health Hub has one acute care hospital – Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health
Centre.
In addition to acute care beds, there are a number of other inpatient bed types located in the acute care
facilities in the Northern IDN.

Long-Term Care (LTC)
There are no Long-Term Care (LTC) homes in the Sioux Lookout LHH area, but there are 20 Elderly
Capital Assistance Program (ELDCAP) beds at William A. “Bill” George Extended Care Facility in Sioux
Lookout.
Complex Continuing Care (CCC)
The type of patient occupying CCC beds varies from hospital to hospital within the LHIN and across the
province and is reflected in the CCC bed rate per population 75+. The table below shows the 2010 bed
rate in each Integrated District Network area within the North West LHIN.

Key Findings:
 In 2010, the CCC bed rate in the North West LHIN was more than twice the provincial average of
7 beds per 1,000 seniors age 75+;
 The Northern and Kenora IDNs have the lowest CCC bed rate of all IDNs within the North West
LHIN;

The average frailty of acute discharges to CCC in North West is lower than the provincial

average .
Inpatient Rehabilitation
St. Joseph’s Care Group (SJCG) located in the city of Thunder Bay has 50 Inpatient Rehabilitation beds
which service all residents of the North West LHIN.
The following tables show where patients admitted to SJCG for general rehab episodes and specialty
rehab episodes live within the North West LHIN.

For clients with an acute (in-home) goal, the majority of service time (82.5%) was for nursing visits; 12.2%
of service time was for case management.
For clients with a service goal of long-term support (in-home), over two-thirds of service time (69.3%) was
for combined personal support and homemaking services, followed by a quarter (25.1%) of the service
time for nursing visits.
For clients with a maintenance (in-home) service goal, just under one-half (48.6%) of service time was for
combined personal support and homemaking services, followed by 37.9% of service time for nursing
visits.
All service time for clients with a goal of long-term care placement was for case management.
For CCAC clients with a rehabilitation (in-home) service goal, approximately one-quarter (28.5%) of
service time was for nursing visits. In terms of therapy services, 23.1% of service time was for speech

diagnosis of diabetes in 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2011/12 respectively.
Diabetes and Amputations
Complications from diabetes can lead to amputation of limbs in some cases. The North West LHIN had
almost three times the rate of major amputations among diabetics than the provincial average in fiscal

Re-admissions for Select Conditions
Reduction in avoidable hospitalizations--of which hospital readmissions play an important part --is a key
strategic focus of the Ministry’s Excellent Care for All Strategy in Ontario. Readmissions also contribute
12
to increased emergency room pressures and wait times .
The cases included in this indicator are discharges for patients age >=45 with diagnosis of stroke, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or congestive heart failure (CHF), those age >= 40 with select
cardiac conditions, all ages with pneumonia, diabetes and gastro-intestinal disorders. The following table
shows the re-admission rates of these cases for Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre and for all
North West LHIN hospitals combined for fiscal year 2011.
