This could be the beginning of a story or the end of a story. Happily for patient Ed Skrlj, it was the beginning. On October 14, 2009 Ed wasn’t feeling well. He began to feel symptoms of what he assumed was indigestion. His pain continued to intensify until Ed, the 55 year old father of three, asked his wife to call 911. This story could still have made a tragic downward turn, but again, an integrated initiative, partnering the MH LHIN with Halton, Peel and Toronto EMS enabled Ed to receive life-saving treatment within an astounding 48 minutes from the moment the paramedics arrived at his door to the insertion of a catheter in his heart at Trillium Health Centre, the regional hub for the integrated treatment protocol. He is recovering well now. “I was impressed with the calmness and knowledge of all the people who worked on me. Their timely care saved my life”, quotes Ed Skrlj. The protocol is called ‘Code STEMI’ because it refers to a particular type The Canadian Heart and Stroke of heart attack (called ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) involving a Foundation Advises: blocked artery, the new program has trained Peel, Halton and Toronto EMS Millions of Canadians are still at risk, and advanced care paramedics to diagnose heart attacks with the ECG from will be, for generations to come.

  • Senior Friendly Hospital Care in the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network Summary of Self-Assessment Responses
    Senior Friendly Hospital Care in the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network Summary of Self-Assessment Responses February 2015 Overview In 2011, the Ontario Senior Friendly Hospital (SFH) Strategy was launched by Ontario’s Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and Regional Geriatric Programs (RGPs). An environmental scan, informed by 155 hospital self-assessment surveys, highlighted promising practices within the five domains of the Ontario SFH framework: Organizational Support; Processes of Care; Emotional and Behavioural Environment; Ethics in Clinical Care and Research; and Physical Environment. The “Senior Friendly Hospital Care Across Ontario Summary Report 2011” identified delirium, functional decline, and transitions in care as priority areas for quality improvement across the province. The current report summarizes an environmental scan conducted in the fall of 2014 using an updated version of the original self-assessment survey. The purpose of this report is to identify improvements made in SFH commitment and care since 2011; facilitate organization- and LHIN-level planning of SFH activities; highlight new and existing promising practices; and identify training needs to build capacity. Both Mississauga Halton LHIN hospitals completed the self-assessment survey: Trillium Health Partners and Halton Healthcare Services. While self-assessment can provide helpful and practical information, this approach does come with some limitations. For instance, detail and accuracy can be compromised due to different interpretations of the survey questions and inter- departmental communication. Even with explanatory notes, positive responses to dichotomous questions may lack sufficient detail about important factors such as intensity of uptake and fidelity to best practice. In the “Process of Care” domain, for example, hospitals reported the extent of implementation of practice across their organization, but not their compliance with these practices.

  • Mississauga Halton LHIN Community Consultation Feedback February 2016
    Mississauga Halton LHIN Community Consultation Feedback February 2016 Introduction On December 17, 2015 the ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (ministry) released a discussion paper entitled Patients First: A Proposal to Strengthen Patient-Centred Health Care in Ontario. The ministry requested input on their proposal and was looking to hear from providers, patients and caregivers from across the province. In support of the ministry’s desire to engage Ontarians, the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) undertook a six week community consultation process to gather feedback on the Patients First proposal. The consultation strategy consisted of three key mechanisms: 1. Face to face consultations, organized across the geography of the LHIN with primary care physicians, health service providers, patients and caregivers 2. An on-line survey and invitation to residents, primary care providers and health service providers to provide their feedback on the questions noted within the ministry’s discussion paper 3. Promotion of the ministry’s feedback link for community input Over the past six weeks, 35 in person consultations were planned, organized and executed. The primary care physician community was reached through 14 separate consultations. Nine of these took place within the community, including one within each Health Link geography and two that were open to physicians from across the LHIN. The remaining five consultations included groups of physician leaders as well as hospital family medicine teams, solo practitioners and walk-in clinic owners. Representatives from the Ontario College of Family This report is a summary of Practioners (OCFP) and Ontario Medical Association (OMA) attended the feedback provided by 570 and participated in a number of the consultation sessions, and helped participants and does not advertise and encourage physician participation.
