Start date: April 1, 2012
End date: March 31, 2014
Fiscal Year for Ts & Cs: February 9, 2012
Strategic Outcome: A health system responsive to the needs of Canadians
Program Activity: Canadian Health System
Description: In 2011 the Government announced that the Territorial Health System Sustainability Initiative funding is being further extended by $60m over a period of two years (2012-2014). Funds being allocated for this period will support time-limited initiatives in key health system reform areas:
- Developing mental health and chronic disease management strategies;
- Addressing human resource gaps in the health field;
- Strengthening system performance measurements, monitoring and reporting; and,
- Implementing strategies to realize further efficiencies in medical transportation system.
The Territorial Health System Sustainability Initiative is divided into the following three funds:
- Territorial Health Access Fund intended to: reduce reliance over time on the health care system; strengthen community level services; and build self-reliant capacity to provide services in-territory.
- Operational Secretariat Fund intended to support the functioning of a Federal/Territorial Assistant Deputy Ministers Working Group to guide the implementation of the initiative; fund several Pan-Territorial projects; and provide Territorial governments with capacity to manage THSSI commitments.
- Medical Travel Fund - to offset or help pay for expenses related to or incurred in the course of providing or paying for medical transportation.
Expected Results: The overriding goal of the two-year extended THSSI is to assist the three territories to consolidate progress made under the THSSI in reducing the reliance on outside health care systems and medical travel. For territories, consolidating projects that have achieved their goals and integrating projects with an ongoing mandate into territorial core business.

Fiscal Year for Ts & Cs: 2008-2009
Strategic Outcome: A health system responsive to the health needs of Canadians
Program Activity: Official Language Minority Community Development
Description: Builds on initiatives established under the previous Contribution Program to Improve Access to Health Services for Official Language Minority Communities (2003-2004 to 2008-2009). The Program is managed by the Official Language Community Development Bureau.
The Program was approved for a five year period (2008-2009 to 2012-2013) with a total budget of $174.3 million, to support three mutually reinforcing components: 1) Health Networking ($22M); 2) Training and Retention of Health Professionals ($114.5M); and 3) Official Language Minority Community Health Projects ($33.5M); and to strengthen Health Canada's capacity to administer the Program ($4.3M).
The Health Networking component aims to: (i) maintain and enhance official language minority community health networks in line with provincial/territorial priorities; (ii) develop strategies to increase and improve OLMC health services; and (iii) provide leadership and coordination of activities that span all three components of the Official Languages Health Contribution Program.
The Training and Retention component is designed to: (i) provide post-secondary training of francophone health professionals in official language minority communities located outside Quebec to respond to the health care provider needs of those communities; (ii) promote the recruitment of qualified students into francophone post-secondary health training programs and their re-integration into official language minority communities upon graduation; (iii) provide training and retention initiatives in Quebec to ensure that health professionals have opportunities to improve their ability to work in both official languages, and to practice where they can meet the needs of official language minority communities; (iv) in communities outside Quebec, provide cultural and French-language training to bilingual health professionals to improve their ability to provide health services to Francophone minority language communities; and (v) promote research and information-sharing on approaches to reducing barriers to health care access for official language minority communities.
The Official Language Minority Community Health Projects component of the Program provides short and medium term support for projects in six activity areas in response to community and provincial, territorial, or regional health priorities: (i) strategies to develop, retain and mobilize health human resources within French official language minority communities; (ii) development of sustained health information products and tools to facilitate access to health services within networks; (iii) provision of improved front-line health service expertise in the minority official language; (iv) support to regional and local health and social service agencies and community organizations in implementing new programs and best practices for access to health services in the minority official language; (v) development of volunteer health and social support services for official language minority communities within local networks, institutions and health
Expected results: The two main objectives of the Program are to improve access to health services in the minority official language and to increase the use of both official languages in the provision of health services. To achieve these objectives the Program has identified five expected outcomes:
- increased number of health professionals to provide health services in official language minority communities;
- increased coordination and integration of health services for official language minority communities within institutions and communities;
- increased partnership/interaction of networks in provincial and territorial health systems;
- increased awareness among stakeholders that networks are a focal point for addressing the health concerns of official language minority communities; and
- increased dissemination and adoption of knowledge, strategies or best practices to address the health concerns of official language minority communities.

Strategic Outcome: Canadians are informed of and protected from health risks associated with food products, substances and environments, and are informed of the benefits of healthy eating.
Program Activity: Substance use and abuse
Description: The Drug Strategy Community Initiatives Fund will contribute to reducing drug use among Canadians, particularly among vulnerable populations such as youth, by focusing on health promotion and prevention approaches to address drug abuse before it happens. The objectives of the Fund are to facilitate the development of local, provincial, territorial, national and community-based solutions to drug use among youth and to promote public awareness of illicit drug use among youth. The Program is delivered through Health Canada's regional and national offices and the Northern region.
Expected Results: DSCIF plans to enhance the capacity of targeted populations to make informed decisions about illicit drug use. The program's success and progress will be measured by the level/nature of acquired or improved knowledge/skills to avoid illicit drug use within the targeted population, and will be measured by evidence that capacity changes are influencing decision-making and behaviours around illicit drug use and associated consequences in targeted populations.
DSCIF also plans to strengthen community responses to illicit drug issues in targeted areas, and will measure their progress based on the type/nature of ways that community responses have been strengthened in targeted areas. For example, the adoption/integration evidence-informed/best practices within the targeted areas will indicate the program's contribution to this outcome.

Strategic Outcome: A Health System Responsive to the Needs of Canadians
Program Activity: Canadian Health System
Description: The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer Corporation (the Partnership) is an independent, not-for-profit corporation established to implement the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control (CSCC). The CSCC was developed in consultation with more than 700 cancer experts and stakeholders with the following objectives: (1) to reduce the expected number of new cases of cancer among Canadians; (2) to enhance the quality of life of those living with cancer; and (3) to lessen the likelihood of Canadians dying from cancer. Health Canada is responsible for managing the funding to the corporation. The Partnership's initial five-year grant provided $250 million for 2007-2012, and a named contribution agreement will provide an additional five years and $250 million for 2012-2017.
Expected Results: the Partnership will become a leader in cancer control through knowledge management and the coordination of efforts among the provinces and territories, cancer experts, stakeholder groups, and Aboriginal organizations to champion change, improve health outcomes related to cancer, and leverage existing investments. A coordinated, knowledge-centered approach to cancer control is expected to significantly reduce the economic burden of cancer, alleviate current pressures on the health care system, and bring together information for all Canadians, no matter where they live.

A TB submission to establish new Ts and Cs for the HII will be presented to the board for approval soon.
Strategic Outcome: A Health System Responsive to the Needs of Canadians
Program Activity: Canadian Health System
Description: CIHI is an independent, not-for-profit organization supported by federal, provincial and territorial (F/P/T) governments that provides essential data and analysis on Canada's health system and the health of Canadians. CIHI was created in 1991 by the F/P/T Ministers of Health to address significant gaps in health information. CIHI's data and its reports inform health policies, support the effective delivery of health services and raise awareness among Canadians about the factors that contribute to good health.
From 1999 to 2007, the federal government provided approximately $313 million to CIHI through a series of grants, known as the Roadmap Initiative. This allowed CIHI to provide quality, timely health information. More recently CIHI's funding has been consolidated through the Health Information Initiative.
Beginning in 2007-08, the Health Information Initiative provides conditional grant funding to CIHI. This funding allows CIHI to continue important work initiated under the Roadmap Initiative and to further enhance the coverage of health data systems to improve the information available to Canadians on their health care system, including information on wait times, and comparable health indicators. The funding also enables CIHI to respond effectively to emerging priorities. Under this initiative, up to $406.49 million will be delivered to CIHI over five years (2007-08 to 2011-12).
Expected results: As per CIHI's funding agreement with Health Canada, CIHI's draft 2012-13 Operational Plan and Budget is to be provided to Health Canada by the end of January 2012. At the March 2012 CIHI Board Meeting, the document will be brought forward for review and approval and then subsequently submitted to the Minister of Health. In CIHI's 2010-2011 Annual Report they indicated that they will remain focused on their strategic priorities as follows:
More and Better Data:
- Increase jurisdictional uptake of select reporting systems, with a continued focus on home and continuing care, pharmaceuticals, medication incidents and emergency visits;
- Continue to develop and implement our Primary Health Care Information program;
- Work to address information gaps in the areas of Aboriginal health and community mental health; and
- Collaborate with jurisdictions and Canada Health Infoway to advance health system use of data and the pan-Canadian agenda related to the electronic health and medical records.
More Relevant and Actionable Analysis:
- Publicly release Canadian Hospital Reporting Project results and continue to make enhancements;
- Implement a rolling multi-year analytical plan and release reports and special studies focused on access to care, patient outcomes, continuity of care, cancer, cost drivers, productivity and seniors; and
- Complete the implementation of the Canadian Population Health Initiative Action Plan.
Understanding and Use of Our Data:
- Continue to support the adoption and uptake of CIHI Portal and enhance/expand client access to eReports;
- Continue to enhance our newly launched website;
- Implement the newly developed customer strategy; and
- Seek renewal of our status as a prescribed entity under Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act and implement follow-up recommendations from the information and privacy commissioner of Ontario.
2011-2012 is the fourth year of CIHI's four year strategic plan.
