1) Program for
Chronic/Complex Patient
Populations - Spread
Medication Management
within the organization for
complex, chronic and specialty
program patients.
Methods
[1] Formalize and document working
group structure. [2] Ensure education of
medication management program. [3]
Complete gap analysis. [4] Develop
action plan that ensures we met all tests
of compliance for Accreditation site

establishment and progress of the
working group.
Process measures
Process measures at present would
include milestone monitoring until
the project charter and other
measures have been determined.
Goal for change ideas
100% of new complex, chronic
and speciality program patients
to have medication
reconciliation by Q2 2015/16,
with further plan for
organization roll out to be
approved.
2) Evaluate Rehabilitation
Programming - specifically
Physiotherapy model of care (3
streams and Rapid Recovery) to
validate patient's positive
improvement of functional
status, and a lower risk of falls.
[1] Develop and implement evaluation
process. [2] Collect data via patient
experience surveying; outcome
achievement via service provider scales
and outputs; and monitoring of costs and
service utilization. [3] Review results [4]
Integrate learnings into further
improvement opportunities.

1) Adopt and implement
evidence based pathways for
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD) and Chronic
Heart Failure (CHF)
programming as an approach to

functional status of patients.
[1] Formalize and document working
group structure for COPD, and CHF. [2]
Ensure distribution and education on
pathways. [3] Complete gap analysis. [4]

2) Lead the development and
implementation of the South
West Mississauga Health Link
(1/7 health links being planned
for Mississauga Halton area
and coordinated by the Health
Link Secretariat) and to
demonstrate a positive impact
of integrated care coordination
on this population, emergency
department and inpatient
utilization.
Methods
[1] Develop business plan. [2]
Develop/approve project charter and

and process mapping for future state. [4]
Determine data and metrics to be
collected and reported on. [5] Time
studies and analysis of patient flow. [6]
Ensure staffing plan alignment.
Process measures
Process measures at present would
include milestone monitoring until
the project charter and other
measures have been determined.
Goal for change ideas
South West Mississauga Health
Link to be implemented by Q4
2015/16.
3) Redesign care coordination
programming for
chronic/complex populations
to enable meaningful primary
care connections and reliable
care coordination practices
which have demonstrated to
reduce the need for unplanned
ED visits or inpatient
emergency experiences.
[1] Identify priorities for improvements in
coordinated care planning and care
delivery models; [2] Complete analysis to
confirm deployment plans for key
improvements; [3] Formalize project
structures for design and
implementation; [4] Monitor
implementation, measure results of
coordinated care planning
improvements.
Process measures at present would
include: a) rate of care coordinator
primary care connection; b) project
implementation milestones (to be
confirmed); c) Consistency in
understanding roles and
responsibilities across an integrated
community care team;
Coordinator care plan
completed for 90% of complex
patients within guidelines; care
conferencing rate is 75% for
complex population by Q4 FY
2015/16.
1) Partnership with Trillium
Health Partners to design a
new innovative approach to
transitioning patients from
hospital to home - Seamless
Transitions.
To design a process were care is wrapped
around the patient from admission
through to discharge and recovery at
home. Test with patients admitted on
two physician caseloads in the Medicine
program at THP-CVH. Quality
improvement cycles ("Plan-Do-StudyAct") will be utilized to assess and refine
the process during the test phases. Ongoing monitoring of data - lead and lag
measures - to determine whether change
idea is having the intended impact.
Key outcome measures:
readmission rate, return to
Emergency Department visit rate,
length-of-stay and patient
experience.
A replicable, scalable, patientcentered approach for hospital
to home transitions by Q4
2015/2016.
