		<description><![CDATA[The survey results @ Ted Ball.com are in, and Ontario&#8217;s healthcare leaders say they are seriously underwhelmed by the progress that has been made on the Healthcare Reform File over the first year of the government&#8217;s four-year majority mandate. The question is: will government learn from this feedback? Normally, governments with a fresh majority make significant changes during their first year-and-a-half of their mandate &#8212;<br /><div class="readmore"><a href="http://quantumtransformationtechnologies.com/healthcare-sector-leaders-are-underwhelmed-2-0-provincial-strategies-just-dont-cut-it/">Read More...</a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Premier&#8217;s mandate letter to the Hon. Eric Hoskins last Fall seemed to take pains to avoid acknowledging the existence of local Community Governance Boards in our healthcare services delivery system. Ignoring the traditional platitudes about &#8220;voluntary governance&#8221; and &#8220;citizen engagement&#8221;, she tells the Minister to partner with &#8220;administrators, healthcare providers and patients&#8221; in the development of our future system.

		<description><![CDATA[Healthcare leaders across Ontario have been sizing-up the new Wynne/Hoskins/Bell Team over the past 6-8 months to evaluate their strategic intentions, capabilities and values. The dozens of Queen&#8217;s Park observers I have spoken with over the past few months looked through lenses that oscillate from cynical to sycophantic &#8212; so I have certainly heard a wide-range of opinions on Ontario&#8217;s new healthcare leadership.
