Background
Health Links Funding Letters detail requirements for regular reporting
on the maturity of Health Links. Health Links self-assessed their
maturity in 2016.
The data collected around the current state of Health Links maturity
will provide guidance to help the LHINs move to a higher state of
alignment and maturity.
HQOs role includes assisting in the administration of the data
gathering process for these reporting requirements, and to
incorporate the findings into their regular quarterly reporting process
for Health Links
Feedback from the LHINs around the need for additional knowledge
translation tools and supports to ensure provincial consistency.

Health Links Maturity Model Overview
The Health Links Maturity Model provides a roadmap for Health Links
across the province to achieve population impact at scale
The model outlines five levels of maturity across four domains related to
coordinated care planning
Four Maturity Domains:
1) Identification of Complex Patients
2) Coordination of Care
3) Patient-centred Care
4) Measurement and Continuous Performance Improvement
Five Levels for each domain:
Level 1 – Start Up Level 4 – Integrated Excellence
Level 2 – Evolving Level 5 – Population Impact
Level 3 – Functional Excellence
LEVEL 1 • Reflects the current system; siloed providers,
single condition, health focused
• Eligibility criteria known
• Some communication between service
providers
• Care for patient is episodic
• Health Link lead adopting the approach to
care
• Beginning to understand the partnership
required to support the approach
Start -up
www.HQOntario.ca
LEVEL 2• Some organizations adopting the approach
to care (representatives of acute, non-acute,
community and primary care)
• Some collaborative work underway between
partners
• Working with partners in health e.g. within
acute; acute and community; acute,
community and primary care
• Contribute to coordinated care planning
(minimum of two service providers)
• Teams are using the Coordinated Care Plan
template (v.2)
• Establish a shared understanding of the
approach and roles of each provider in
supporting the patient at each point of care
• Some sharing of information
Evolving
www.HQOntario.ca
LEVEL 3
• Broader adoption of the approach among the
organizations across sectors
• Focus on sub-populations e.g. people
requiring mental health and addiction
services, palliative care and end of life
• Roles and responsibilities of partners
understood
• Contribute to common care planning
establishing a multi-disciplinary team
(multiple sectors)
• Relationship and partnerships are
established between health and social
domains
• Mechanism in place to communicate with
patients/caregivers
Functional
Excellence
LEVEL 4 • Partners working together
• Service pathways are integrated along a
continuum of care between organization and
within organizations
• Eligibility criteria to align between services
• Primary care engaged and participating in
the planning, implementation and
maintenance of a patient’s care plan
Integrated
Excellence
www.HQOntario.ca
LEVEL 5• Health service and social agency providers
have adopted the approach to care
• Approach has been embedded into the
program and service design; a part of the
provider QI initiatives, vision,
education/orientation programs
• Seamless transitions
• One integrated EMR
• Providing services using an health equity
lens
