OUR VISION, MISSION & VALUESOUR VISIONOutstanding Care – Every Person, Every Day.
OUR MISSIONTo deliver a seamless experience through the health system for people in our diverse communities, providing equitable
access, individualized care coordination and quality health care.
OUR VALUESThe Voice of Our Patients – The Erie St. Clair CCAC’s Patient Declaration of Values
A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO/BOARD CHAIR Planning to meet the home care needs of the residents of Erie St. Clair is the work of an entire community. We estimate
hundreds of our partners, staff, patients and caregivers have contributed to the development of Partners in Care: Strategic
Plan 2014/15 – 2016/17.
Achieving our Vision, Outstanding Care – Every Person, Every Day, requires complete dedication to the idea that we cannot
succeed without the hard work of our frontline staff and managers, our community partners, and the insight and thoughtful
contributions of patients and caregivers.
The Strategic Plan 2014/15 – 2016/17 was created over 10 months in 2014. It is a process that began with an in depth review
by the Board of Directors, and the consultation of our partners from the support service, multicultural and government
sectors and clinical staff across Erie St. Clair, and concluded in the fall with our Accountability Sessions
in Windsor, Chatham and Sarnia. These sessions will be repeated on an annual basis to check-in with our community
to make sure we are on track, and meeting the care needs in Erie St. Clair.
This consultation process helped establish three Strategic Directions: Delivery of Patient and Family Centred Care, Reducing
the Impact of Chronic Disease, Be the Partner of Choice in Enhanced Care Coordination. The three Strategic Directions will
be achieved with the help our three Strategic Enablers: Value for Investment, Effective use of Technology and being an
Employer of Choice.
The strength of this plan is the result of many valuable contributions, and we believe that as we commit to collaborating
with the community we will achieve great things. We invite you to join us.

ABOUT THE ERIE ST. CLAIR CCAC The Erie St. Clair Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) is one of 14 community-based, independent health care
agencies funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care through the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration
Network (ESC LHIN). Over the last year, the CCAC has offered care to nearly 38,000 residents in our region. In addition,
we provided advice, information, and connections to other community services to thousands of others.
The CCAC delivers services through the lens of our Patient Declaration of Values, in three core areas:
• Conduct health assessments to establish the care needs of individuals referred to the CCAC
• Serve as leaders in care coordination for all health care and support service-related information in our communities
• Partner with our patients, health providers and communities to provide quality care delivery
• Conduct assessments, placement and manage waiting lists for long-term care homes in Erie St. Clair
Care coordination is at the heart of the services provided by the CCAC. CCAC Care Coordinators support patients who
are referred to the CCAC and may be eligible for a variety of services in the community, including nursing, personal
support, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, social work, and nutritional counselling.
Our Care Coordinators will take the time to understand patient needs and determine which services, either from the
CCAC or in the community, they may require. Once eligibility is determined, a CCAC Care Coordinator will work with
patients, their loved ones, community partners, and other care providers to implement a care plan.
Our goal is to support residents so that they may live in their home with greater independence, avoid hospital
admission, access support services in the community, and when necessary, explore long-term care options when
it becomes too difficult to live independently at home.
The Erie St. Clair CCAC provides care to nearly 38,000 patients each year. In partnership with
our patients, their families, our care providers and communities, over the past year the CCAC
has successfully;
• Supported over 19,300 patients in transitioning from hospital to home
• Supported 4,200 patients in their move to long-term care
• Provided care to over 5,100 children and youth
• Coordinated care by helping an additional 8,480 patients by connecting them to supports and services in the community through
the CCAC’s Information and Referral services
GUIDED BY OUR MISSION
& VALUES.
THE ERIE ST. CLAIR CCAC PROVIDES
CARE TO NEARLY 38,000 PATIENTS
EACH YEAR.

three years.
STRATEGIC PLAN 2010-2013 – DRIVING QUALITY CARE IN OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER In 2010, the Erie St. Clair CCAC launched its strategic plan, identifying 5 key priority areas to ensure the continued
provision of high quality home care in the community. These priority areas are Quality Client Services, Accountability
and Transparency, Partnering with Our Communities, Supporting our Staff and a Focus on Continuous Improvement
and Innovation.
Over the life span of this strategic plan, the achievements in each of our priority areas help build a stronger community
care system, while teaching our CCAC a great deal about opportunities with our partners, innovation in our work place,
and the needs of our patients and caregivers. The following is a brief review of our work and accomplishments during
the implementation of this strategic plan.

THE ERIE ST. CLAIR CCAC REGION
The Erie St. Clair region is home to diverse patient populations with unique health care needs; differing in some areas
significantly from the rest of the province. Understanding these unique care needs of our residents and partnering in
their care is integral to the CCAC’s success and also to the development of our Strategic Plan.
The Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network (ESC LHIN) also recently completed the third Integrated Health
Service Plan (IHSP 3) 2013-2016 that outlines key health system strategic directions. These directions and the
information within the IHSP 3 was integral to informing the CCAC’s strategic planning process as we work to
collaboratively improve the local health system and address the varying needs of our communities. The following data
was extracted from the ESC LHIN’s IHSP 3, unless otherwise indicated. (http://www.eriestclairlhin.on.ca/Accountability/
IHSP/IHSP3-2013-2016/IHSP%203%20-%202013-2016.aspx)
ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN KEY FACTS & FIGURES
Ontario
• 37 per cent of Ontario residents aged 12+ have a chronic condition and 15 per cent have multiple conditions.
• Prevalence of multiple chronic conditions increase dramatically with age. Forty-four percent of those aged 65-74 and 55 per cent of those aged 75+ have more than one chronic condition.
• Chronic conditions account for 6 out of 10 deaths, 2 out of 10 acute hospital separations, and 3 out of 10 acute hospital days.
• In Ontario, chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability. Almost 80% of Ontarians over the age of 45 have a chronic condition and approximately 70% suffer from two or more of these conditions. (MoHLTC - http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/cdpm/ )
• When these conditions are left untreated or are poorly managed this results in a decreased quality of life for patients and it predisposes them to other chronic conditions. (MoHLTC - http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/cdpm/ )
• 620,954 residents
• 7,311 square kilometers
• 5 hospital corporations across 8 sites
• 10 Family Health Teams across 20 sites
• 4 Community Health Centres across 14 sites
• 36 long-term care homes
• 57 retirement residences
• 5 schools boards with 277 schools
• 2 residential hospices
• 32 Community Support Agencies
• 1 Community Health Link
• 3 nurse practitioner-led clinics
Erie St. Clair Region
• In 2011, almost 16 per cent of the population was seniors (aged 65+); up from 14 per cent in 2006. By 2016, seniors will account for 18 per cent of the Erie St. Clair population; by 2021, it will be 21 per cent.
• Approximately 14 per cent of Erie St. Clair residents say they usually experience moderate or severe pain discomfort, and 31 per cent say they experience activity limitations because of long-term physical or mental health problems. Not surprisingly, prevalence of pain/discomfort and activity limitation increases with age.
• Erie St. Clair residents have significantly higher prevalence of smoking, heavy drinking, and excess weight compared to the province, and a lower prevalence of adequate fruit/vegetable consumption. These risk factors contribute to many cancers and chronic conditions including heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, and osteoarthritis.
• Erie St. Clair has the highest prevalence of overweight/obesity (62 per cent of residents aged 18+), and the lowest prevalence of adequate fruit/vegetable consumption (65 per cent of residents consume fewer than five servings daily) among the 14 LHINs.
• 41 per cent of Erie St. Clair residents (aged 12+) have a chronic condition and 17 per cent have multiple conditions.
• Prevalence of multiple chronic conditions increases dramatically with age; over half of Erie St. Clair residents aged 65+ have two or more chronic conditions.
• Chronic conditions account for 6 out of 10 deaths, 1 out of 4 acute hospital separations, and 3 out of 10 acute hospital days for Erie St. Clair residents.
• The prevalence of most chronic conditions in Erie St. Clair, except arthritis, is similar to provincial rates. Arthritis prevalence is significantly higher. See Table 1.
• Mortality and hospitalization rates for all chronic conditions, except asthma, are higher than provincial rates. See Table 1.

DEVELOPING PARTNERS IN CARE: THE 2014/15 – 2016/17 STRATEGIC PLANThe creation of the Strategic Plan required a thorough process of consultation and engagement, followed by
development and finally implementation. The CCAC is one of the few health service providers spanning the entirety
of Windsor and Essex County, Sarnia and Lambton County and Chatham-Kent, the entirety of the region of Erie St.
Clair. The services provided by the CCAC impact 1 out of every 18 homes in our region, our Care Coordinators are in
every hospital, and aim to work closely with the dozens of local agencies in our community. With such a broad reach,
we have a responsibility to be thorough in our consultation and engagement, and inclusive in our development and
implementation.
PHASES IN PLANNING The development of the Strategic Plan occurred over four distinct phases in a planning cycle meant to allow the
board and staff of the CCAC to take stock and oversee the closure of the prior strategic plan and review the current
environment, engage a broad number of partners, patients and stakeholders, develop the plan, and validate this plan
through an accountability process with the community.
LAYING THE FOUNDATIONIn Phase 1, the Board of Directors spent time reviewing the CCAC sector Mission and Vision. The goal of this review
was to achieve a common understanding of the Mission and Vision to best understand how the CCAC could achieve
our mission, and continue to reach for our vision. At this time, the Board undertook a review of the local and provincial
community care environment, and assessed our relationships with our partners and stakeholders in the community.
Finally, the Patient Declaration of Values was approved, reinforcing the foundation of the planning process.
ENGAGEMENTIn Phase 2, we reached out to the community of partners, patients and caregivers, staff and stakeholders. Over the
course of nearly 120 days, we engaged 19 groups in over 26 different consultation sessions, based on the following
principles:
• Consultations would leverage input from stakeholders closest to the patient / public where possible.
• Key consultations with distinct stakeholder groups, which include the First Nations, Francophone and multicultural groups.
• The primary means of consultation would be interview-based to provide for rich data collection.
During this phase, the board considered the consultation results, and based on the foundation in the prior phase,
contributed to the formulation of the Strategic Directions by asking “What will success look like to the CCAC?”
ACCOUNTABILITY AND DEVELOPMENTDuring Phase 3, at this stage of the development of the Strategic Plan, the information from engagement and
consultations has been reviewed, and the Strategic Directions and Enablers have been drafted. The next step was
to validate this information with the individuals and groups that were consulted as part of the Engagement phase.
Accountability Sessions were founded and supported the development of the components of the Strategic Plan
that would allow the CCAC to determine which initiatives and programs to develop in order to achieve our Strategic
Directions. (See Accountability Sessions on page 23) These goals and objectives are then laid out into work plans for
each department to undertake.
IMPLEMENTATIONFinally, in Phase 4 the Board of Directors provided approval to Partners in Care: Strategic Plan 2014/15 – 2016/17.
During this phase, the Erie St. Clair CCAC underwent an organizational change that included movement of leadership,
reporting structures and staff changes. During this time, work was begun on developing a framework that will connect
the performance of the administration of the CCAC with the goals and objectives that must be achieved in the plan.
During this phase, the CCAC is changing how it undertakes its work, and has adopted a direction that will support
increasing involvement from patients and caregivers, as well as partners from the community. The CCAC believes this
model will help improve outcomes, and better meet the needs of our patients.

PARTNERS IN CARE: STRATEGIC PLAN 2014/15-2016/17OUTSTANDING CARE - EVERY PERSON, EVERY DAY. The Erie St. Clair CCAC’s vision inspires us each and every day to ensure we are providing the best possible care to our
patients, partnering with and within our communities and participating actively as responsible and coordinated health
system leaders. Our strategic priorities for the next three years were developed with an understanding that in order
to achieve our vision, we must aim to achieve excellence by continuously improving and providing care that positively
impacts our patients and their families. The high standards are set for us to achieve.
GUIDED BY OUR MISSION AND VALUES. Delivering a seamless experience through the health system for those in our diverse communities requires a
commitment and dedication to superior care delivery. The Erie St. Clair CCAC’s 2014/15 – 2016/17 Strategic Plan focuses
on how to achieve excellence using the very fundamentals of our mission statement: we aim to provide care that is
coordinated, individualized, accessible and high-quality. We do this guided by the voice of our patient, remembering the
key tenets of a patient’s care journey: We are accountable to our patients, we will communicate effectively with them,
we have compassion for their care needs, we will provide care efficiently and we will always respect the dignity of our
patients and the individual circumstances they face.
WE WILL BUILD ON EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT USE OF OUR RESOURCES.The Erie St. Clair CCAC’s resources are the building blocks to achieving our strategic vision. They are the resources that
allow us to ensure we achieve excellence in community care. Our focus is on our valuable resources and by improving
these, coupled with leveraging our existing strengths; we are making the best use of tax dollars, the talent of our human
resources and the value of our contributions to community care delivery.
WE ADVANCE THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF CARE DELIVERY THROUGH PARTNERSHIP.
The key to our success is partnership. We aim to achieve excellence in community
care through key partnerships that allow us to better understand the needs of our
patients, our communities, and of our stakeholders and to address them readily.
We aim to involve patients and families in all that we do; we will reduce the impact
of chronic illnesses by supporting those living with chronic diseases and improving
system outcomes. We will also be the partner of choice for all health partners to
ensure the success of shared system goals, resulting in better patient outcomes,
satisfaction and value for the health system.

OUR ANNUAL ACCOUNTABILITY SESSIONSIn September 2014 the first Annual Accountability Sessions were held in Chatham, Sarnia and Windsor. Partners,
patients and caregivers, elected officials, board members and CCAC staff were invited to review our Strategic Directions
and Enablers, and inform the development of the goals and objectives that will populate the work plans of the CCAC.
The Accountability Sessions will occur each fall for the entire life cycle of the Strategic Plan. The contributions received
during these sessions are critical first to establishing the initial plan, and second, to be accountable for our work, and
make sure we are on the right track.
MONITORING ACCOUNTABILITYThe success of the Erie St. Clair CCAC’s 2014/15 – 2016/17 Strategic Plan relies on the continued monitoring of
performance and accountability at every level of the organization. The Erie St. Clair CCAC is dedicated to continually
increasing transparency and accountability, this is how we will accomplish this:
• In the fall of 2014, the Erie St. Clair CCAC had undergone a complete reorganization of internal staff structure including the management of portfolios to support the Strategic Directions and the implementation of the Strategic Plan.
• The CCAC has aligned the Strategic Plan to the front-line staff roles so that each individual in the organization understands their role in achieving the plan.
The Erie St. Clair CCAC also acknowledges the importance of feedback and
collaboration from our stakeholders and the public in the success of achieving our
Strategic Plan. The Erie St. Clair CCAC’s 2014/15 – 2016/17 Strategic Plan is posted on
our website, along with our Strategic Plan deliverables showing our progress and our
quarterly Balanced Scorecard. We welcome your continued partnership and ask for
your feedback and support as we engage in the delivery of our vision for quality
community care over the next three years.
WE ASK YOU TO PARTNER IN CARE WITH US.
Performance meetings are held monthly for Executive Leadership Team (ELT) to review progress on goals, objectives and financial performance (full Balanced Scorecard is reviewed quarterly).
Each Executive Leader will have monthly meetings with their portfolio management prior to the ELT performance meeting, ensuring quick response to Strategic targets that are on track or those that require attention.
Each Manager will have monthly meetings with their staff (portfolio) and will discuss the departmental goals, objectives and progress of the Strategic Plan.
Management Leadership Forum will provide a general overview of organizational performance on a monthly basis and will provide the opportunity to share and discuss information as it relates to their departmental and individual goals and objectives.
Each Director will have monthly meetings with their direct reports (portfolio) and will discuss the departmental goals, objectives and progress of the Strategic Plan.
Agendas for “Portfolio Meetings” will be pre-populated with cascading messages to ensure consistency of messaging which can then be customized for each area, ensuring CCAC staff are collaborating and are cohesively working towards common priorities.
