Central LHIN Scorecards/Dashboards

Central East LHIN is currently developing and implementing

Scorecards and/or Dashboards (enablers) for key initiatives as well

as for an overall Central East LHIN System Balanced Scorecard.

These Enablers will serve two key objectives:

To better enable Central East in the execution of its

responsibilities;

Ensure alignment with Central East LHIN as well as provincial

priorities and strategies

Central LHIN Scorecards/Dashboards

Currently, two scorecards have been developed and are in the process of

being finalized.

1. Ministry-LHIN Accountability Agreement (MLAA) at the system level;

2. Hospital Service Accountability Agreement (H-SAA)/Hospital Annual Planning Submission (HAPS) at the Health Service Provider level.

Each scorecard and/or dashboard will be two-tiered.

1. System level;

2. Health Service Provider Level.

The overall scorecards/dashboards for each current and/or planned initiative

and operational outputs will embedded within a cascading framework where

each will be hierarchal in framework to cascade up into the Central East LHIN

System Scorecard which will reflect its over-arching strategies and priorities.

Central LHIN Scorecards/Dashboards

The Scorecards and/or Dashboards is intended to give an overview of a

current period (current assessment) to enable the LHIN to fulfill the following

objectives:

1. Strategic planning and management;

2. Sharpen focus and ensure a results-oriented perspective;

3. Align our strategies, both LHIN and Provincial with daily operations;

4. Identify drivers within a current and future-oriented perspective;

5. Assess accomplishments within standardized communicable measuresfacilitating validity and reliability;

6. Ensure transparency to both internal and external stakeholders;

7. Assist in decision-making and prioritization.

Tie-Back, Feedback and ‘Feedforward’….

• Accountability Framework developed to manage health system through

two contracts.

• Contract with the LHINS for OUTCOMES

• Contract with providers for OUTPUTS

• New processes and tools are needed to manage these contracts, our

relationship and the data to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Questions for Discussion:

• What is required to manage these new relationships?

• What are preconditions for success of the Accountability Framework

(Contracts)

• How do LHINS and HSPs work together to ensure success of their

agreements?
