The Central East Local Health Integration Network (Central East LHIN) is developing its fourth Integrated Health Service Plan (IHSP), a document that sets out shared goals for the organizations and service providers who make up the local health care system including hospitals, community support service agencies, community health centres, the community care access centre, community mental health and addiction agencies and long term care homes.
As the LHIN works with its planning partners to develop IHSP 4, we also want to hear from health care service providers about the challenges you face in delivering coordinated and comprehensive care to your patients, clients, consumers, residents and their family/caregivers and opportunities you see in better supporting them to live healthier lives in their homes and their communities and how that can be achieved.
We’ve been talking to a lot of you over the years and hearing from patients and their caregivers and everyone agrees that living healthier at home means receiving the right information, the right care and the right services so that local residents only have to go to the hospital or move to a long-term care home when living in their own home is no longer the safest option or their situation requires specialized or acute care.
Your support in completing the brief survey below to help us determine where we can make the biggest difference with the next IHSP is very much appreciated.
Please know that all of your feedback will be reviewed and considered before the IHSP is submitted to the Central East LHIN Board at the end of October
