MH LHIN Governance to Governance Meeting A number of board members attended the Feb. 26 th session; the guest speaker was the CEO of Health Quality Ontario, Dr. Josh Tepper. The focus of the session was quality in health care. Dr. Tepper noted that many boards tended to avoid conversations about failure and encouraged members to highlight failure as learning opportunities. He also acknowledged that data mining continues to be an issue for the sector and recognized that without good data, that it was difficult for organizations to measure their successes and failures. The Board members found the session to be valuable. The next session will focus on MH CCAC s work, including the Community Quality Network and the Safety and Risk desk aid. There was some reflection that there appeared to be some duplication of work between the LHIN s Quality 2
Community Committee and the work of the MH CCAC.

Board liaison to review the board minutes and list any topics of high interest. Executive expenses for first quarter to be posted June 2014. The CEO provided a report on the CEO teleconference; it is likely the CCACs will be audited and will be a value for money exercise reviewing contracts, expenses, consultants, etc. Each of the CCACs will not be subject to a full review; rather, there will be a targeted focus per CCAC. It will build on the work that has already been done during the 2010 and 2012 audits. The review will also confirm that the recommendations made during the last two audits have been put into place. The decision has been delayed and will be made on March 19 th ; the Auditor General would like to follow the details into the SPO contracts, but this may not be within her scope of work.

A decision was not made, but will be brought back for further discussion among the CEOs. There was mention of compensation restraints being put in place for public sectors, with the ministry setting bands and upper limits. This will likely introduce a 3
method in which the salaries are equalized; the greatest impact will be at the hospitals. There will be some work re: pay at risk or pay for performance, it is suggested that only one will be in place, not both and will be capped at 10%.
