Health Links (HL) - The NWCCAC is the lead
organization for the Thunder Bay Health

health links starting in our region. The HL
team for Thunder Bay will be developing
their program in this next year now that the
full team has been hired.

NWCCAC is the lead organization for the
Thunder Bay Health Link and is a
participant on the others. The NWCCAC
HL project team has been involved in the
planning and implementation of the ECTC
program, a precursor to HL. The
principles and systems guiding that
program will facilitate development of
the HL program and will serve as initial
learnings. HL team hired and ready to go
as at Feb 16, 2015.
Implementation of eNotification LHIN wide
allows us to track our patients ED visits and
reasons for visits which helps us check in
with patients to reassess their needs. We
will identify common reasons for the ED visit
and work with partners to fill gaps in
services.

patients accessing the ED and

eNotification is going live in as many
hospitals as possible (depends on if
they’ve signed the DSA and NSA) in the
North West on March 17, 2015. This will
allow us to monitor the number of
patients going to the ED, being admitted
to hospital, discharged from ED and
discharged from inpatient unit. We will
be able to start providing data for this at
some point in April 2015. We cannot
project the effect of the regional
hospitals data being added to our
sample. This year will be a baseline year
of data collection.

This measure is only for our complex
patients who have high needs. This
measure does not include people who
are on a waitlist. No patients in Q3 201415 waited past the 5 day period. This
indicator continues to need the starting
point changed as the service
authorization date creates the wrong
picture for patients waiting. The service
stat date is the correct starting point for
the 5 day wait.
