Dear Mr. O'Neill:
Re:
2013-16 Long-Term Care Home Service Accountability Agreement
When the Local Health lntegration Network ("the LHIN"), and your organization entered into a
service accountability agreement for a three-year term effective April 1,2013 (the "LSAA"), the
performance indicators lor 2015-16 were indicated as "To Be Determined (TBD)', or replicated
based on 2013-14 planning assumptions. The LHIN would now like to update the LSAA to
include new ind¡cators, targets and standards for 2015-16 fiscal year to Schedule D.
Subject to your agreement, the LSAA will be amended with effect April 1 ,2015, by adding the
amended Schedule D that is included in Appendix 1 to this letter.
To the extent that there are any conflicts between the current LSAA and this amendment, the
amendment will govern in respect of the Schedule D. All other terms and conditions in the LSAA
will remain the same.
Please indicate your acceptance of, and agreement to this amendment, by signing below and
returning one original signed copy of this letter to Ashley Bolduc, Analyst, Quality and Risk
Management, HNHB LHIN,264 Main St. E., Grimsby, ON L3M 1P8 by March 31,2015. Please
also forward an electronic copy to ashlev.bolduc(@lhins.on.ca.
The LHIN appreciates your organization's collaboration and hard work during this 2015-16
LSAA indicator refresh process. We look fonruard to maintaining a strong working relationship
with you.
Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Kiran Kumar, Advisor, Quality
and Risk Management at [email protected] or at 905-945-4930 ext.4229.
Sincerely,
,\0"r^-^'

PatienUclient reported feedback is an important component of measuring and improving the patient/client experience. Health Service Providers (HSPs) are
required to report patient experience indicators for fiscal year 201ú16 (or the most recent 1 2-month period available) as part of 201 5-1 6 Q4 Supplementary
