A practical solution for both agencies Lynda HIIIman-Rapley Lakeshore Advance In a good news story, Grand Bend Area Community Health Centre (CHC) board of director vice chair Bryan Beattie told the forum at the annual general meeting Saturday. He said with some sharing and coopera- tion thbre is some positive healthcare hap- pening locally. In a bit of history Beattie explained that with the establishment of the Local Health Integration Networks (1.1IINS) throughout Ontario was designed to have the delivery of health services administered on a more regional basis rather than through a single all -Ontario ministry in Toronto. Part of the thinking was that different regions of the province have different needs and in order to be effective the administra- tion should be closer to the service area. 1t was intended to develop a more coop- erative approach by having•the LH1NS look for ways to have various agencies work with each other to maximize efficiency and com- prehensive delivery of health care. Having said that, the situation here in Grand Bend where the hospital and emergency care facil- ity is South Huron Hospital in Exeter which happens to be in a different LHINS than Grand Bend's CHC. Putting that glitch on a back burner, I)r. Glenn Bartlett, Grand Bend's part time exec- utive director was approached to fill a vacancy for the same position at SiI hospi- tal -making it a full time position between the two organizations. With the approvals of he board of directors of the two organizations the arrangement was put in place and it was sanctioned by the two 1.1IINS as a practical solution to the agencies involved, As the arrangement progressed there were other parts of the operations identified that would warrant a similar sharing of certain personnel such as human resources man- agement and electronic technology. Each organization could not warrant a full time qualified position on its own but sharing the costs, both SH hospital and Grand Bend's CHC could enjoy the advantage of having what they needed from a top notch employee. So, a memorandum of understanding was drafted to set out the intent and parameters of sharing some personnel and In general cooperating in the delivery of front line serv- ice with five positions. Beattie said while that is good news on its own, one of the results of sharing some per- sonnel was a better understanding of a lot of personnel in both organizations as to what services were and were not being offered and where were unmet needs. Now the two organizations are collaborat- ing on the delivery of services to patients that sees a dramatic enhancement of care that was not previously available when each organization was doing its own thing independently.
