Template 1: Strengths and Challenges within the Current System in Addressing Population Needs
Strengths Challenges
Collaboration among partners (e.g. LHIN Cardiac Working Group); willingness to modify practices
eHealth Inftrastructure (e.g. shortcomings of EHR)
Acute Infrastructure in place• Full spectrum of care exists in LHIN
Coordination (continuum; transitional; what can occur in the community v. in hospital) and Integration (v. fragmentation)
Availability of Data (e.g. CATH, PCI, ICD, Wait Times) and Data sharing Lack of integration of chronic care (e.g. management of chronic heart failure; primary/secondary rehab)
Strong Research (particularly Hamilton) and Innovation Knowledge Translation and Delivery Research (e.g. best practices)
Education Programmes (e.g. fellows; primary care) Access (To cardiac rehab; to tilt-table tests)
Coordination• timely access to CATH, Angio• user-friendly; one number for interventional cardiology
EMS Issues• Transfer time• Uniformity of training and skills
Availability of Angio Consistent quality of care
Priority funded program Wait times• No single wait list for cardiologists • Limiting to routine cardiac care•Data for outpatient cardiac
EPS/ Cardiac surgery Rural Access (distance from Rural communities to centres + disease burden)
Specialty clinics Role clarity (e.g. cardiac v. GIM)
CCN memberships Resourcing – under resourced in many areas
Prevention and Wellness
Patient automobile/driving issues (e.g lack of template)
Template 2: Factors most likely to increase / decrease future demand for health care:
Describe the factor that will increase or decrease demand by 2013 Will this factor have a modest or significant impact on future demand?
Aging population (e.g. baby boomers) ; age demographics by community Significant
Shift to greater incidence of chronic disease with longer lifespan Significant
Manpower planning and declining enrollment (physicians, nurses) Modest
Increasing enrollment for cardiology Modest
Patient expectations; more informed “consumer” Significant
New technologies (e.g. 64 swlice CT/Angio; artificial heart); inappropriate use of technology Significant
Socio-economic correlates to heart health (lifestyle, aging, cultural) Significant
Under-serviced communities (in particular – aboriginal) Modest
Chronic disease management could decrease demand Modest
Prevention initiatives could decrease demand Modest
Primary care models Modest
Economy – growth of demand v. tax base Significant

Khal’s Evaluation Tool
Template 4: Assess the recommended model against the criteria
Cardiac PAG DOMAIN CRITERIA ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION
Strategic Fit Alignment with LHIN priorities for health improvement
•Aging At Home: restoring people to health as soon as possible and returning to outpatients; specialty clinic support (e.g. heart function); Linkages with CCAC (transitional care for heart failure and COPD); chronic disease management • ER/ALC: reduce LOS, standardization protocols /discharge plans (AMI), management, EMS transport improvement for primary PCI/other emergency cardiac care; defer admissions via ER through robust primary care services• Mental Health and Addictions: need for increased resources for acute cardiac patients including psychiatry, addictions, smoking cessation • Right Care, Right Place, Right Time: move patients to less resource intensive environments where possible (i.e. focus on prevention, ambulatory and outpatient settings); enhances coordination and resources for Primary Care and other areas of the system
Alignment with trends in health care needs and system transformation
• eHealth: consistent/progressive• Enhances collaboration and integration between providers• Adds much needed infrastructure, and wellness programs• Management of Cardiac patients: • In comparison to template 2, the model addresses the significant factors
Template 4 continued: Assess the recommended model against the criteria
Cardiac PAG DOMAIN CRITERIA ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION
Population Health Health Status (clinical outcomes and QOL)
• Outcomes should improve – e.g. via heart failure clinics, improve access/quality of diagnostics, more robust prevention• Monitoring via CIHI, ICES, CCN• LHIN-Wide quality approach suggested • Data is an opportunity for improvement in the current model • LHIN 4 Cardiac Working Group – Smart AMI Project principles could be applied more broadly • LHIN 4 is ahead of the curve due to existing communication and collaboration • Funding for quality insurance is an area for improvement
Prevalence • Prevalence will be increasing; model recognizes this and suggests a model to mitigate • Prevalence may also be seen as an indication of success (people living longer)
Health promotion and disease prevention
• Alliance (one stop) • Room for improvement with better application of guidelines to target (diabetes, hypertension) i.e. Knowledge translation• Cost of drugs as area for improvement (e.g. better use of generics)• Working poor in our area • Clear integration with CCAC• Informing public policy (e.g. linkages to medical profession and government)
Template 4 continued: Assess the recommended model against the criteria
Cardiac PAG DOMAIN CRITERIA ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION
System Values Patient-Focus • One stop/ ambulatory principles
• EMS strategy – improve access at time they need it most\• Proximity to service v. need
Partnerships • identified and strengthened external linkages• Communication/referral through e-Portal • Local and provincial systems (CCN, ICES)• One of most robust research programs • Learners across system • Universities, colleges, and med schools (McMaster, Brock, Michener, Mohawk)• Relations between hospitals
Community Engagement • Patient education • Specialty clinics in communities • Primary PCI • Need for explanation of decision making and mechanisms for citizen engagement and feedback
Innovation • Research and knowledge translation• Communication (E-Portal)• Largest Primary PCI program in country; largest advanced cardiac care provincially/nationally • Integrated community partnerships • Patient-focused and assessment (cultural) (e.g. PAVR, endovascular management, minimally invasive approaches – e.g. mitral valve surgery)•One stop cardiac
Equity • Founding principle of our work• Consistent care reinforced by LHIN-Wide quality approach •Aboriginal strategy
Efficiency (operational) • Protocols to avoid duplication to streamline care as appropriate • LHIN-wide quality management
Template 4 continued: Assess the recommended model against the criteria
Cardiac PAG DOMAIN CRITERIA ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION
System Performance Access • Enhanced via E-Portal referral and records system
• Free up acute resources by treating in outpatient and ambulatory for appropriate cases• More coordinated and central approach focused on care continuum and value for patients
Quality • Includes enhanced LHIN-wide approach to quality and safety, synched with academic programs to ensure best practices and knowledge translation• Also includes formal monitoring and feedback mechanisms
Sustainability • Resource-intensive model, however costs are likely to be found in acute care centres after the implementation of One Stop Outpatients and Ambulatory Teams• eHealth infrastructure is likely to be costly, but should be funded centrally; must include ePortal for both records/DI and referrals • Requires pooling of Quality infrastructure from multiple organizations to ensure consistent approach
Integration • Builds on success hub-and-spoke model in place today; good/enhanced synergies between academic and clinical (knowledge translation)• Enhanced through common approach to quality and measurement• Common system for records/DI and referrals• Supported by linkages with primary care and ambulatory teams
Template 5: Descriptions of Pre-requisites, Enablers, and Challenges to Implementation
CATEGORY PRE-REQUISITES ENABLERS CHALLENGES
POLICY • Government rural hospitals group (e.g. examining levels of service for rural communities) • Change Public Hospitals Act re: nurse practitioners and nurses • Obesity/Nutrition and Smoking Cessation • EMS funding inadequate (via municipalities)
• Expedited process re: driving • Current financial downturn• Potentially lacking political will as we head into campaigning year
