BREAKFAST OF CHAMPI ONS Septem ber 1 6 2 0 1 0 CONSOLIDATION OF OPHTHALMOLOGY SURGICAL SERVICES Sparks, Tinder and Flam e

The Sparks  Ontario Wait Time Strategy – Funded Incremental Cataract Volumes Available  Formation of the LHINs – Regionalization arrives  Anesthesia Care Team Demonstration Projects  Study confirms relationship between Volume and Quality Outcomes for Cataract Surgery 2

The Tinder  CLHIN declares plan to develop High Volume Centre(s)  Hospitals potential benefit – equipment and OR space  Physicians potential for increased volumes and efficiency  Patients likely to experience better access to care  Accountability and Quality are easier to manage in a two centre vs. a seven centre model  Virtually all of the planned surgery is ambulatory  Consolidated – the ophthalmology community could “Dream Big” 3

The (Wet) Tinder  Change is Hard  Small hospital consequences (Stevenson)  Ophthalmology Services in communities without surgery  Maintaining Ophthalmologists in their home communities  Patients would need to travel 4

The Flame  April 2007: Ophthalmologists and Hospital reps meet and create an Ophthalmology Working Group  Support from hospital CEOs and CLHIN  2 teams Governance/ Administration Clinical Care Model make recommendations  Sept 2008: CLHIN Eye Centre Implementation Task Force is formalized  April 2009: Project Manager funding provided by CLHIN  April 2010: Approved by CLHIN Board of Directors 5

Eye Care Vision  Original vision was to consolidate cataracts, however it became apparent that by consolidating cataracts alone there would be some major issues:  Maintenance of equipment and team expertise for very low volume scheduled non cataract surgery  Loss of current services due to focus on cataracts  Non cataract surgical ophthalmology will ultimately not be sustainable at hospitals if they are not performing cataract surgery  Exception of pediatric strabismus surgery  Maintaining Ophthalmologists in home communities  Conclusion: Consolidation of all eye surgeries is more feasible than just cataracts alone.  The surgical consolidation and creation of the two centres, lays the framework to a better integrated approach to delivering the entire spectrum of eye care services. 6

Our Planning Model  Creation of 2 sites:  North at Southlake Regional Health Centre  South at Branson site of North York General Hospital  Emergency care to be provided across CLHIN  Maintenance of ophthalmologists in their home communities  Continuation of the current on-call system  Improved access to and repatriation of tertiary services (where that makes sense).  Efficient and cost effective operational model can enable further decreases in already low wait times  Maintenance of the high standard of patient care  Patient friendly processes 7

The Results  JVA &MOU agreements and HSIP for cataracts completed  Communication plan developed and executed  Chiefs of Staff reviewed and developed an understanding of physician privileges to support a consolidated model  Patient satisfaction surveys confirm success 8
