Streamlining Services For High and Lower Need Patients
Building Community Capacity - A Collaborative Planning Initiative for
CCAC and CSS
Context
WWCCAC strategic plan work underway is positioning the organization for the future. WWCCAC is defining its target population and will focus services on moderate to high complex patients. The context of this initiative considers the findings in the Sinha Report.
Excerpt from Dr. Sinha’s Report – Living Longer, Living Well
KEY RECOMMENDATION : Enhance the Provision of Home and Community Care Services
“The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care should support the LHIN’s their CCAC’s and CSS agencies to formalize a collaborative Standardized Care Model that can allow acuity based wait-lists and Care Coordination assignments between CCAC’s and select CSS Agencies. This will allow both sectors to provide publicly funded personal support services in each LHIN. This will allow both sector organizations to play to their strengths and better address client needs.”

Context Cont’d
The volume of client referrals to CCACs from the hospitals has increased (due to initiatives to reduce hospital length of stay and ALC days and improve patient flow)
The increased volume of higher acuity clients on CCAC caseloads adds tremendous pressure on CCAC budgets and lower needs clients may end up waiting for service
The Seniors Strategy for Ontario recommends that LHINs, CCACs and CSS agencies formalize a Standardized Collaborative Care Model and collectively build the capacity to enable CSS agencies to provide PSW services to lower needs clients
WW CCAC’s strategic planning work aligns nicely with this opportunity to work collaboratively with the LHIN, CCAC and CSS sector to consider how to: Best serve the lower acuity home care clients Collectively build capacity across the community sector Deliver the best value for money Effectively facilitate patient flow through the healthcare system
3
Context Cont’d
The WW LHIN envisions greater system capacity, improved patient satisfaction and outcomes and more effective transitions with greater patient support through the continuum of care through the efforts of this initiative
KEY DRIVERS INCLUDE A DESIRE TO: Create “Early -Single Entry Point -Coordinated Access” to care Shift CCAC resources to higher needs– higher acuity clients Find better solutions through a more robust CSS Network for lower needs –
lower acuity clients Ensure services are “targeted” Focus on transitions to better suited partner providers within the CSS Network Engage all stakeholders through the process Ensure the process is transparent and open

Project Overview – Mission and Success
Work in partnership with the WWLHIN, CCAC and CSS sector to develop a plan that will enable CSS agencies to provide personal support worker services to certain categories of home care clients
5
A collaboratively developed plan that establishes the strategy, processes, structures, roles, capacity and operations required to shift the care of some categories of home care clients from the CCAC to CSS agencies
A well-defined implementation plan that identifies the key tasks, roles, responsibilities and considerations for all partners to ensure clients receive the support they require from the CCAC and CSS agencies
The collaborative development of key governance and accountability terms and agreements to ensure that all parties clearly understand their relative authorities, accountabilities and responsibilities

Early Project Considerations
Appropriate stakeholder representation in the project structure
Clear roles and responsibilities for project members
Ensure the planning process is open and transparent
10
Project Structure Considerations
Establish the list of all key stakeholders early in the project
Provide multiple channels and opportunities to provide input to the plan
Ongoing communications and updates – all stakeholders have easy access to all relevant planning information
Identify barriers and risks that may limit the degree of stakeholder support for the project
Broad Stakeholder Engagement Considerations
Current Project Undertakings
Data Collection and Analysis Current utilization, wait list, number of health human resources (HHR) Services offered - (service type offered) Current active patient volume (separated by service type)Environmental and Jurisdictional Scan of Leading Practices Research and present innovative models of community sector partnership
for target populations e.g. lower need persons Identify key model considerations and dependencies (infrastructure,
capacity etc.) Assess state of local sector readiness based on degree of change in various
models Identify preferred model options

Stakeholder Engagement Findings Highlights April 9th CSS Network Meeting
It is simplistic to think in terms of ‘low’ and ‘high’ needs clients
Can’t base evaluation solely on RAI scores (blend of art and science)
Broad range of services and providers
Need to determine where there is capacity
Don’t forget about (specialty services, ABI, rec centres and wellness, dementia)
How will care coordination be differentiated for CCAC and CSS?
April 16th Contracted Service Provider Advisory Committee
What will be the impact on SP PSW market share?
CCAC transitioning to higher need population is consistent with other CCAC’s provincially
PSW’s may choose to go to a CSS agency if the population care is lighter
What are the HHR considerations knowing PSW’s are in demand. What are the union implications if staff are moving from one organization to another?
