The Muskoka and Area Health System Transformation council issued an update this morning on its progress and work scope identified to date, as it prepares to provide an initial report on its plan to transform local health care to the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network. It hopes to deliver its draft plan on March 31, 2017.
It has refined its various working groups, seconded two District of Muskoka employees to the project and identified five work streams it will be focusing on. They are: Programs and Services, Funding and Governance, Information Management and Technology, Wayfinding, and Stakeholder Relations. So far, it has identified Harold Featherstone, Chief Executive Diagnostics, Ambulatory & Planning with Muskoka Algonquin Health Care, which manages both hospitals, as the chair for the Programs and Services review and Huntsville’s Rob Alexander and District Commissioner of Community Services Rick Williams, as co-chairs of the Funding and Governance stream.
The scope of MAHST’s recommendations will include a draft implementation plan for its recommended changes to the way health care is delivered locally, an implementation plan as well as a draft new governance structure plan and a progress report on tasks remaining as well as a projected time frame for project implementation.
