05.27.2009 ELF Speakers Series with Matt Anderson

Matt Anderson wants to CHANGE THE WORLD.

That’s why he took the job as the CEO of the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network (TC LHIN).  On the evening of Wednesday, May 27, 2009, Matt engaged in a conversation with over 50 of Ontario’s emerging healthcare leaders, in the scholarly surroundings of the Arts & Letters Club on Elm Street in Toronto. ELF members represented a cross section of the healthcare system, and included individuals from St. Mike’s Hospital, UHN, West Park Health Care Centre, Infoway, Accenture, University of Toronto, GE, Mainstay Housing, Cancer Care Ontario, and many other organizations.

Matt provided some insights from his experiences as a LHIN CEO:

• The LHINs haven’t done a whole lot yet; they are still relatively new compared to Alberta’s former RHAs which were established in 1992.
• There are over 200 funded agencies within TC LHIN.  Our healthcare system focuses acute hospitals, but there are so many other impactful organizations in
  the GTA, such as Progress Place and South Riverdale Community Health Centre.  These organizations require innovative funding models.
• Ensuring the LHIN is aligned with provincial strategies is key for building political support and obtaining funding.
• There are only 30 staff members within TC LHIN; 15 are dedicated to funding processes, leaving only 15 to affect change. The team is small. The use of data
  to pinpoint problem performance areas is critical to the team’s success.
• LHINs = PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT.  Indicators must be mapped to specific organization in order to enable change.
• The LHIN has significant legislative powers, yet has no effecter arm.  For LHINs to be effective, they need to have the authority and ability to make changes, in addition to having the accountability and responsibility to do so.
