Pre-Capital Submissions - Lessons Learned

The entry point for health care facilities seeking facility redevelopment in Ontario is a Pre-Capital Submission. Lessons learned from our work with successful client hospitals in pre-capital submission development include:

• Start – the list is long but it’s the only way to advance your project.
• Educate your team and your board on the process.
• Consult with your LHIN regarding their expectations and preferred involvement in the process.
• Understand your facility issues: invest in a facility evaluation and projections, which can be also used for the next phase of planning.
• Provide clear, concise information supported by data and examples.
• Share your draft submission with the LHIN and seek their advice prior to finalizing the document.

For more information on the requirements, access the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and LHIN Capital Planning process document on your LHIN website. We would be pleased to discuss the most efficient process for your organization. Please contact Debbie McDonald, Partner.
