Governance Resource & Toolkit for Voluntary Integrations
Toolkit
Appendices
The toolkit was developed through a joint initiative of five Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs), associations representing the health service providers funded through the LHINs, and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The project was initiated in November 2007, in response to early consultations between the LHINs and health service providers regarding the provisions for voluntary integration in the Local Health Systems Integration Act, 2006.
The Act places an obligation on LHINs and on health service providers to identify opportunities to integrate services, which captures a broad range of activities including coordination, partnering with others, and transferring, merging or amalgamating services.
The purpose of the toolkit is to:
- Assist health service provider boards to understand evolving LHIN practices, processes and expectations arising from interpretations and applications of the act as illustrated by the experience of the participating LHINs;
- Support health service provider boards in understanding their respective roles and responsibilities in providing appropriate leadership to their organizations and in developing strategies to work with one another and with the LHIN Boards on voluntary integration initiatives
