Health System Improvements

Health System Improvements are the additions or enhancement to programs offered by health service providers to better the access and care provided to health consumers. The H-SIP process has been developed collectively by Ontario's Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) to facilitate and standardize the way health system improvement requests are submitted to the LHINs.

The Health System Improvement Pre-Proposal (H-SIP) form is to be used by health service providers prior to submitting a business case to the Central LHIN. The pre-proposal is designed to capture the intent and scope of plans for health system improvement.
