Invitation to Board Chairs, Executive Directors and Lead MDs/NPs: vote on indicator recommendations for MOHLTC-FHT contract

To Board Chairs, Executive Directors and Lead MDs/NPs of AFHTO member organizations:

On behalf of the AFHTO Board, I am inviting you to respond to a proposed set of indicators that AFHTO will recommend for the MOHLTC-FHT contract beginning in Apr 1, 2016. (This is different from the survey on D2D 3.0 indicators, which just closed.)

AFHTO has been advocating for revisions to the contract template following the governance principles and priorities  established by AFHTO member a year ago. As a result the Ministry has agreed to revamp the Schedule E reporting requirements. A small set of indicators, leveraged from AFHTO members’ work on Data to Decisions (D2D), would replace the extensive activity reporting that has been required to date.

The Ministry has asked AFHTO to recommend indicators for the contract. Following consultation with a number of AFHTO member groups – QIDS Steering Committee, QIDSS ED forum, ED Advisory Council and Physician Leadership Council – a short list of 7 potential contract indicators has emerged. These have been selected from D2D indicators according to the extent to which members are able to influence performance on the indicator, alignment with other reporting requirements and availability of clinical guidelines or targets for excellent performance, among others.

Board Chairs, Executive Directors and Lead MDs/NPs of all AFHTO member organizations are invited to review the short list of indicators that has emerged and give your feedback to the AFHTO Board.

Please respond by completing this survey by Nov 25, 2015.

NOTE:  MOHLTC retains the right to accept and/or amend whatever proposal AFHTO brings. The indicators selected in this vote can therefore NOT be assumed to be the final list for the contract – they will just represent the proposed list that AFHTO will be recommending to MOHLTC. For more information about the development of the new MOHLTC-FHT contract, please contact Bryn.Hamilton@afhto.ca.
