What it does

The Health Planning, Quality Management and Systems Integration Program administers contribution agreements and direct departmental spending to increase the capacity of First Nations and Inuit to design, manage, evaluate, and deliver health programs and services. In particular, the Health Services Integration Fund is a proposal-based program that funds time-limited projects that facilitate collaboration of multiple jurisdictions as a means to improve the effectiveness, accessibility and relevance of health services provided to First Nations and Inuit. Examples of funded projects include integration models for improving linkages between services or access to other local services in mental health and addictions, primary/continuing care, and/or systems management. This Program also works to foster the uptake of accreditation in nursing stations and health centres providing services to First Nations communities. It shares synergies with other programs such as Clinical and Client Care, Healthy Living, Healthy Child Development and Mental Wellness, as well as with external partners. It works closely with National Indigenous Organizations, federal departments, provincial governments and national and regional associations.
