Current Projects

Regional Relations & Special Projects support the Senior Teams of LHSC and St. Joseph's in initiatives and projects related to our strategic partnerships, with a focus on external regional stakeholders such as the CCAC, LHIN, regional hospitals and community partners.

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

Regional Relations & Special Projects 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.
