Current Projects

Our team brings experience, skills, and expertise in facilitation, communications, project design and management, negotiation, organization, partnership development, coordination, and evaluation, to projects to help them achieve success. Some of the projects we are currently working on include:

Business Case Review and Approval Process 

The purpose of this project is to establish a consistent and transparent process for all project requests and a robust system to manage all project requests that require a business case.  This includes establishing an intake process, screening process, business case development support, and a review and approval process to ensure fairness, equity and accountability for business case requests at LHSC and St. Joseph’s.

City-Wide Cleanliness Project

The City-Wide Cleanliness project has been initiated to ensure clean, safe spaces for patients, staff and visitors of St. Joseph's Health Care, London and the London Health Sciences Centre. The goal of this project is development and implementation of defined cleaning frequencies, standards, auditing, and reporting across St. Joseph's Health Care, London and the London Health Sciences Centre to reduce microorganism transmission and the associated risks.

Order Sets Program

The Order Sets Program includes several projects that will move the hospitals towards standardized order sets in both a paper-based environment and eventually in an electronic environment. Strategy and Project Leadership is leading a project that will identify and develop the appropriate standards, processes, governance structure and on-going internal support required for the development of paper-based order sets and to prepare for future CPOE (Computerized Provider Order Entry).

Western Ontario Health Knowledge Network (WOHKN)

Strategy & Project Leadership is providing project management process support to assist WOHKN in analyzing it's current business model.

 

SW LHIN Patient Access & Flow Project

At the present time there is no protocol among the hospitals in the SW LHIN to govern or guide the transfer or referral of patients who need emergent/urgent acute care beyond the mandate of CritiCall. As such, each hospital and each physician who is in a position to make a transfer or refer one of these patients to another hospital, or correspondingly, is on the receiving end of the transaction, operates on their own - without an agreed upon inter-hospital protocol to guide and inform their decision-making.

Southwestern Ontario Digital Imaging Network Project

The Thames Valley Digital Imaging Network project is creating a shared digital imaging network that will create a filmless environment for the capture and use of diagnostic images. The digital system will accelerate the flow of patient information, reduce operating costs and heighten the responsiveness of health care and service delivery.

 

Current Alliances & Networks

Strategy and Project Leadership proudly collaborates and maintains a variety of relationships:

OHA Region 5 Executive Committee
Strategy & Project Leadership regularly attends meetings of the Ontario Hospital Association Region 5 Executive Committee to keep current on regional and perceived OHA issues. This forum also serves as an opportunity to update the Executive Committee on Strategy & Project Leadership related activities.

Thames Valley Hospital Planning Partnership (TVHPP)
The Thames Valley Hospital Planning Partnership is a formal partnership under the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Rural and Northern Health Care Framework. It includes the hospitals in the counties of Oxford, Elgin, Middlesex and the City of London. These hospitals work together on an ongoing basis to identify and address issues of common interest.
