Integrated Health Service Plan 2010-2013
Integrated Health Service Plan (2006)
Equity Highlights
- The LHIN promotes increased equity of access to services regardless of geographic location or means of transportation
IHSP (2006)
- Strategic Goals: establish a single system of providers that offers equity in access to quality services
- Partners within SW LHIN need to identify innovative solutions to support equity of access for rural and urban communities
- The LHIN will define and strengthen the delivery of equitable, timely and appropriate service and improve service coordination with a focus on implementing innovative approaches to support rural community providers
- Year 1 Deliverables included: gaining an understanding of the level of equity and timeliness of access to services through data analysis and comparing the results to the perception of these factors held by consumers and providers
IHSP 2010-2013 Priorities
- Increased support for people who have or at risk of developing chronic diseases (these people are disproportionately from minority and low socioeconomic status backgrounds so this priority is equitable without explicitly mentioning “equity”)
- The LHIN will implement CDPM strategies with an initial focus on diabetes strategy and will include other chronic illnesses when relevant
Increased continuity of care and in-home service capacity
