Early Opportunities

Part of the development of a comprehensive implementation schedule is the identification of early opportunities. Early opportunities are defined as initiatives in the HIP that will be put in place over the next several months to take programs closer towards the 2013 goals outlined in the HIP.

It is important to note that these early opportunities are just the beginning of changes. On May 1, a full implementation schedule was submitted to the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Local Health Integration Network (HNHB LHIN), identifying all of the changes that will take place over the short and long term.

Following is a snapshot of the early opportunities that have been approved by the Board of Trustees and are targeted to be in place by Fall/09.
