PROJECT SHORT DESCRIPTION Brief paragraph describing the issue the project will address, benefit to patient/client/resident, value for money, project approach, and sustainability plan As we continue to work together to improve the experience of care of people who use health care services and ensure the sustainability of those services, the South West continues to advance a number of integration strategies. One of those strategies is the Back Office Collaboration and Integration Project (BOCIP). The Back Office Collaboration and Integration Project (BOCIP) will focus on enabling effective and efficient use of system resources to achieve the highest quality back office services making the best use of public resources to create readiness for future health system transformation. South West LHIN funded Health Service Providers (HSPs) may experience: Challenges related to competence, capacity or regulatory compliance (e.g.: recruitment issues; budgeting and reporting issues); Data quality issues, Turnaround time issues Duplication of similar business functions Lack of business expertise Administrative burdens such as increasing administrative expenditures and reporting requirement BOCIP solutions will provide an opportunity to: Ensure resources are being used efficiently and effectively Increase business intelligence and decision making at the HSP level Streamline processes, achieve consistency, eliminate/reduce duplication Cost avoidance Make best use of the public s investment Establish a minimum standard/best practice for back office functions Access resources on best practices in the identified back office functions Project approach Phase 1: 2015/16 Third party consultant will be engaged to leverage expert resources and define best practices and minimum standards in the seven (7) identified administrative service areas: 1. Financial Management [accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, management information system (MIS)] 2. Information Technology and Support 3. Materials Management (purchasing, contract management, logistics support) 4. Human Resources (recruitment, hiring, benefits management, training/learning management systems and labour relations) 5. Legal services 6. Risk Management and Privacy 7. Facilities Management A BOCIP Steering Committee has been created and will provide oversight to the project, guide and lead change efforts, foster collaboration both at the system wide level and within targeted implementation initiatives, in order to inform and operationalize the recommendations related to BOCIP. Phase 2: 2016/17 2018/19 Conduct a current state assessment/survey to gain an understanding of where all South West LHIN funded agencies currently stand against the identified (phase 1) best practices and minimum standards in each of the 7 administrative areas 3
Leveraging the report that defines the best practices and minimum standards in the 7 administrative areas and the current state information, the South West LHIN will define the expectations for LHIN funded agencies to move towards minimum standards and/or best practices LHIN funded health service providers will have to move towards defined expectations by end of the 2016 2019 Integrated Health Service Plan period (by March 31, 2019) KEY DELIVERABLES The project will be considered successful if the following deliverables are met: Phase 1: 2015/16 Procurement of third party resource(s) to define best practices and minimum standards in the 7 identified administrative service areas completed (HMMS) Leverage expert resources to define industry best practices and minimum standards in each of the 7 identified administrative areas that will assist health service providers to achieve: o Improved accuracy and reduced errors related to reporting requirements. o Improved trust, transparency and effective communication between and amongst health service providers o Ability to meet or exceed established best practices within their organization and across sectors o Increase business intelligence and decision making at the HSP level o Streamline processes and eliminate/reduce duplication The seven identified administrative service areas include: 1. Financial Management [accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, management information system (MIS)] 2. Information Technology and Support 3. Materials Management (purchasing, contract management, logistics support) 4. Human Resources (recruitment, hiring, benefits management, training/learning management systems and labour relations) 5. Legal services 6. Risk Management and Privacy 7. Facilities Management Best practice and minimum standards should include consideration of: o Variances that may exist in different sectors of health care including: Hospitals Long Term Care Homes Home and Community Care (including Community Support Services, Mental Health and Addiction agencies and Community Care Access Centre) Community Health Centres Recommendations for moving health care organizations to the minimum standard and ultimately best practice Identification of risk and/or barriers to implementing minimum standards/best practice (e.g. financial, rural versus urban realities, containment of health information within Canadian servers) Progress updates on development of report to be delivered to South West LHIN team and/or BOCIP Steering Committee on a regular basis Delivery of a draft report outlining the defined best practice and minimum standards in the 7 administrative areas to Steering Committee in January, 2016 (Presentation and consultation on draft report to occur with BOCIP Steering Committee prior to finalization of the report) Delivery of final report by end of February 2016 Completion of a project close out report (using the South West LHIN template attached) submitted by April 30, 2016 (consultant via HMMS and LHSC) Phase 2: 2016 2019 4
2016/17 Implementation: Completion of current state assessment/survey (LHIN) BOCIP Steering Committee continues to provide oversight to the project, guide and lead change efforts, foster collaboration both at the system wide level and within targeted implementation initiatives, in order to inform and operationalize the recommendations related to BOCIP.
