Healthcare Leaders’ Dialogue on Governance Renewal – Toronto, January 16, 2008
Ontario’s health care system is still very much in the early stages of a “fundamental transformation”. One of the key questions that has been raised as the system undergoes transformation to a regionally integrated model is “Will local governance survive?”
This question is the subject of the Institute of Public Administration of Canada’s upcoming ,“Healthcare Leaders’ Dialogue on Governance Renewal” scheduled for January 16, 2008. What do you think? Should local community Boards be eliminated, or should they be transformed to align with the fundamental transformation of the health care system?
The background paper entitled “How can Local Healthcare Governance Survive?” is intended to provoke your thinking on this topic. What do you think about the health system’s strategic directions over the next few years? Where will the transformational journey lead? Will the Service Accountability Agreements with the Local Health Integration Networks facilitate the results that the delivery system needs to achieve?
When: January 16, 2008
Where: Toronto Ballroom, The Metropolitan Hotel, 108 Chestnut Street, Toronto, Ontario M5G 1R3
Conference Fees: $825 (individual) or $700/person for 2 or more

Health System Transformation Readiness Assessment Survey
IPAC conducted a survey that will help gauge whether your local health system is ready to undertake the significant transformational journey that is part and parcel of the implementation of LHINs and the reform of the health care system in Ontario.
This survey is intended for leaders in the healthcare system in Ontario - people who occupy leadership positions at the clinical, management, policy or governance levels.
The results of this survey are available below and will be presented at the January 16, 2008 Healthcare Leaders’ Dialogue on Governance Renewal.

How Can Local Health Care Governance Survive?
Why did the McGuinty government decide to keep independent governance Boards in the Ontario healthcare system? Western Canadian models of integrated healthcare delivery systems got rid of local governance years ago when they created regional delivery models. Will the government continue to maintain independent local governance as a key feature of an integrated regional healthcare system after the October 10th election? Read what the authors’ team of Bonnie Adamson, Ted Ball, Elinor Caplan, Gordon Cheesbrough, Ken Moore and Gabriel Sékaly think about this question.
