Champlain LHIN

Champlain Mental Health Network - Mental Health Promotion and Education Promotion Work Group

This network was created in 2008 as a subcommittee of the Champlain Mental Health Network. Based on a common understanding of mental health promotion and mental illness prevention, its goal is to promote and advocate for mental health programming in the Champlain LHIN.

The Community Care Information Management (CCIM) program’s HRIS project team at the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has launched a new HRIS Quadrant Software Webinar for Community Mental Health and Addictions (CMH&A) and Community Support Services (CSS) organizations across the province.

The webinar reviews how to:

• implement the Quadrant (HR, Payroll, Scheduling and Self Service) software

• streamline back-office processes

• meet Ontario Healthcare Reporting Standards requirements

The Champlain LHIN has released its Integrated Health Service Plan (IHSP) for 2010-2013.

Transforming Health Care: One Person at a Time is focused on improving the health and health system for three specific populations:

• People with mental health issues and/or problematic substance use
• People with pre-diabetes or diabetes
• People with complex health conditions.

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care recently released the LHIN Guide to Good Governance as a resource to provide guidance based on leading practices to LHIN Board members and other stakeholders.

The Guide reviews five topic areas:

• Leading practices in board governance
• Board member roles and responsibilities
• Board scenarios
• Board evaluations
• Checklists and policy documents

After consultations with the public, health service providers, and other stakeholders, the Champlain LHIN has released its Draft Integrated Health Services Plan (IHSP) 2010–2013.

The LHIN is seeking feedback on the draft IHSP. The deadline for responses is 9:00 a.m., Tuesday, September 15, 2009.

Responses can be submitted via online survey, e-mail, or fax. For details, visit http://www.champlainlhin.on.ca/form.aspx?ekfrm=2820.
