To date, the number of Ontarians who have registered consent is more than four million people, over double from a decade ago. Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) and Ontario have firmly established their reputation as a national leader and are recognized internationally for successes in organ and tissue donation and transplantation. TGLN is proud of its achievements; however, the need for transplants continues to outweigh the number of organs available for transplant. In the coming fiscal year, to prevent deaths on the wait list, reduce wait times and better meet needs of patients waiting for transplantation, TGLN will drive further improvements in performance and strive to grow donor registrations and organ and tissue donations. TGLN’s mission to save and enhance more lives through the gift of organ and tissue donation and transplantation in Ontario continues to significantly shape TGLN’s goals, objectives, strategies and action plans for 2019/20. In the fiscal year 2019/20, similar to previous years, TGLN has proposed four overarching goals, composed of three program and one enabling goal. Program goals directly support achievement of TGLN’s mission and mandate; and enabling goals have a cross-functional impact and support realization of the program goals. The goals for 2019/20 are outlined below: 2019/20 Goals PROGRAM GOALS ENABLING GOAL PROMOTE QUALITY, EQUITY AND FAIRNESS IN TRANSPLANTATION MAXIMIZE ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION FOR ENHANCE OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND TRANSPLANTATION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH STAKEHOLDERS INNOVATION ESTABLISH A STRONG ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION CULTURE IN ONTARIO To achieve these goals, eight objectives have been identified. Similar to goals, objectives are grouped as either program or enabling objectives. The objectives set out for 2019/20 are outlined below: Page 3 of 54 2019/20 Objectives PROGRAM OBJECTIVES ENABLING OBJECTIVES IMPROVE ACCESS TO TRANSPLANTATION, SUPPORT SUPPORT CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OPTIMAL PATIENT OUTCOMES AND TRANSPLANT CAPACITY AND MEETING OF QUALITY STANDARDS PLANNING AND ACHIEVE AN ORGAN YIELD OF 3.28 ACHIEVE A 63-65% CONVERSION RATE FOR PROVINCIAL ENHANCE IT TO DRIVE EFFICIENCY AND HOSPITALS, 365-385 ORGAN DONORS INNOVATION ACHIEVE A 51% CONSENT RATE, 2300 OCULAR DONORS CULTIVATE A WORK ENVIRONMENT THAT AND 280 MULTI-TISSUE DONATIONS FOSTERS STAFF ENGAGEMENT ENGAGE ONTARIANS IN SUPPORTING ORGAN AND TISSUE DEVELOP AND SUPPORT RESEARCH INITIATIVES DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION (OTDT) TO ADVANCE INNOVATION AND LEADING AND INSPIRE OVER 233,000 TO REGISTER CONSENT PRACTICES IN DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION In order to meet its targets and act on the plans identified in the Business Plan, TGLN requires an investment in incremental annualized base funds. TGLN has identified and prioritized the required 2019/20 resources in the following key areas: donation & transplantation growth, regulatory compliance, replacement of TOTAL (TGLN’s outdated mission critical high risk waitlist, donor/recipient matching and allocation system), tissue system redesign, improved donation performance and efficiency, meeting needs of transplant patients, managed funds and economic adjustment. Resources requested will enable TGLN to grow donation volumes and support implementation of goals and objectives delineated for 2019/20. TGLN is seeking $9,397,100 incremental annualized base funds and $11,235,900 one-time funding. It is important to note that 62% of TGLN’s incremental budget request for 2019/20 pertains to transfer payment programs, funded by TGLN to support broader donation and transplantation system needs. These resources are not used to fund TGLN’s operations. A detailed description of resources requested in 2019/20 is outlined in Appendix 4.

Page 6 of 54 Overview of Programs & Activities TGLN executes its broad mandate through the following interdependent programs and services: Transplantation Standardizing Practice, Equalizing Access and Measuring Outcomes TGLN leads system planning and works with key stakeholders to plan and coordinate transplant services in Ontario. TGLN works to drive improvements that support fair and equitable access through standardized processes and provincial waitlists, enable performance outcome measurement to improve pre-transplant through to post-transplant care, and develop evidence based initiatives to enhance the quality of care of transplant patients as they transition through the patient continuum. Hospital Programs Maximizing Donation opportunities in Ontario Hospital Programs work with 55 Ontario hospital corporations with Level III critical care services and 14 Ontario hospitals with Level II critical care services to establish and maintain successful organ and tissue donation programs within the hospital. This includes identifying opportunities for organ and tissue donation and implementing donation best practices through promulgation of provincial policies and procedures. Organ and Tissue Donation Coordinators (OTDCs) provide on-site clinical support while staff in the Provincial Resource Centre manage notification calls and coordinate case activity. In addition to real time support, TGLN’s Donation Physician Model includes Hospital Donation Physicians and Regional Medical Leads who support physician practice across the province.

This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.

  • Master's Research Paper Officers of the Assembly and the Ontario
    Master's Research Paper Officers of the Assembly and the Ontario Legislature: Reconsidering the Relationship Jocelyn McCauley Student Number: 216280703 Dr. Peter P. Constantinou A Master's Research Paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy, Administration and Law York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada July 2020 Abstract Officers of Parliament, or as they are referred to in Ontario, “officers of the Assembly”, have emerged within Westminster systems as a recognized tool for enhancing parliamentary oversight and increasing transparency in government. However, in Ontario, the absence of a clearly defined relationship with the provincial legislature has meant that certain officers of the Assembly have felt it necessary to “lobby” individual members and committees, as well as the media, in order to carry out their accountability and oversight functions. This lack of clarity places unnecessary stress on the relationship between independent officers, the Ontario Legislature, and the public sector, and can also negatively impact the public’s perception of government overall. This paper looks specifically at the relationship between the Ontario Legislature and officers of the Assembly, in terms of their governance structures, their appearances in legislative committees, and references to their work in House and committee proceedings. It finds that reforms are needed in order to strengthen officers’ relationships with the Legislature. Independent officers possess few powers of enforcement and as such, strong ties to the Assembly are necessary to ensure that recommended action is taken by legislators defend public trust and dollars. 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr.

  • Joint Submission the Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparen
    Joint Submission to The Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 November 26, 2014 November 26, 2014 To: The Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 The four school board/trustee associations would like to take the opportunity to respond and comment on this omnibus piece of legislation and in particular two schedules, out of the total eleven schedules, that will directly affect our membership. The bill’s title refers to accountability and transparency– two values that school boards and their elected trustees strive to ensure on a daily basis. Governed by the Education Act, school boards operate under many regulations, policies and guidelines and provide numerous reports, as required by the Ministry of Education, in order to demonstrate transparency and accountability measures. While we believe the government’s intention is to increase public confidence and to show an openness to the province’s electorate, we feel that, without due consideration of the current mechanisms for accountability and transparency that apply to school boards, we have been unfairly captured in the consideration of Schedule 1 – Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 and Schedule 9 – Amendments to the Ombudsman Act and Related Amendments. The reporting requirements for school boards far exceed requirements in any other sector. These include highly detailed financial reporting three times a year in addition to multiple layers of reporting with regard to students, employees and board improvement planning. Schedule 1: Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 The new proposed legislation aims to establish compensation frameworks for a lengthy list of public sector employers including those at Ornge, Metrolinx, OLG and the LCBO as well as the executives at school boards.

The following provides a brief outline of the proposed changes: Ontario Health Ontario Health would oversee health care delivery and is proposed to improve clinical guidance and offer support for providers to enable better quality of care for patients.

You confirmed that this project was very important to the government and that the inclusion of a requirement to “identify governance models by and for francophones” in the Board’s terms of reference was not an empty gesture. You asked the Board to be innovative and strategic, and to suggest potential affiliations and partnerships with universities not only in Ontario, but also in Canada and around the world.

  • It Is Important to Note That We Have Been Working with Transport Canada to Enhance the Safety of Our Crews and Patients, Both Before and After the May 31 Accident
    ORNGE STATEMENT ON SUMMONS On May 31, 2013, Ornge suffered a tragic loss when an air ambulance Sikorsky S76 helicopter crashed in a wooded area near the Moosonee airport. The accident claimed the lives of four members of the Ornge crew. Our thoughts are with their families as we approach the one year anniversary of the accident. The Transportation Safety Board investigation is ongoing, and we await their findings and recommendations. In November, 2013, Ornge received directions from Employment and Social Development Canada relating to the Canada Labour Code’s occupational health and safety provisions. Each direction deals with issues arising from the accident in Moosonee. Ornge had taken action immediately following the accident and, considering these directions, began following up with the agency immediately. Since that time, with respect to the one direction based on a finding of danger to an employee at work, the agency has confirmed that a danger is no longer present. There were no findings of danger in the other directions. Ornge has cooperated fully with the Employment and Social Development Canada in providing all documentation in order to demonstrate compliance. Ornge confirms it has received a summons with respect to charges laid in connection with the accident under the Canada Labour Code’s occupational health and safety provisions. Ornge is currently reviewing this documentation, and we cannot comment further as this matter is before the courts. It is important to note that we have been working with Transport Canada to enhance the safety of our crews and patients, both before and after the May 31 accident.
