Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant 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 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

The Special Ombudsman Response Team (SORT) of the Ontario Ombudsman is investigating the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant LHIN for its approach to community engagement when reviewing proposals for the restructuring of health services.

A poster for this event that takes place Thursday, March 26, 2009 is enclosed. It is being held at Liuna Station in Hamilton. Pre-registration is required. This information is also available at the MHRC website:
