Notes from Patricia NArine:

Welcome to Ellen - SNP

  • Taking over for SNP from Denise on leave for 6 months
  1. Training
  • List of attendees for training to be sent to Catherine or Harry
  • Training may be computer based over a year or the classroom setting (over a few days)
  • Consensus for a decision
  • End of June is the target date to have list of people who would like to be trained
  • If you require more time please update Catherine
  • 10 Slots for training (5+ by end of year)
  • Capacity for more but we will have to pay for any spots that exceed the maximum
  1. Budgets
  • 2023 look at licences and consider increasing the budget
  • Training and supports – consider costs
  • Come back to steering committee with  2023 numbers
  • Each division will get the details ….so you know if you need to add budget  
  • Contributions from each division – if we exceed the total budget
  • Update potentially in July
  • Denise (project sponsor will decide consider next steps if there licence request exceed central budget)
  • Potential for corporate IT to support
  1. Tasks
  • Reminder if you have tasks that are open …please close them
  • 63 tasks ….if you need another run through on task happy to close them out
  • Do the reports on how long task stay open ….please be mindful of the KPI
  • Close them as they arise
  • Linda – can we retroactively add a monitoring date? 
    • Sometimes it outside of the system and then ARO enters when they are at their desk
    • Some divisions do not allow (THP) do not allow for back date
    • 7 days work …the 7 day limit was initiated by SSHA
    • You can edit any meeting but can't backdate
    • Consider allowing 5 days
  1. Links to reporting manual with videos from (CSP reporting)
  • 6 pages are very generic
  • Updating contacts
  • Linda will share final to Jenny…
  • Videos are hosted on Loom – extension on webrowser

Business arising:

Update on governance

Herb:

When we submitted business case there was looking to understand efficiency…Mini was collecting data

    • Question: Where is this at

Harry …COVID Delays …. lots of heavy lifting up front …we need to get things running before we can assess, or we will see work effort of builds

Discussion:

Is this something we will be expected to report back on

HSI does not track hours of staff…..if we wanted to do that we would have to do it together

Is it worth having a meeting item to develop common tracking

Set a future meeting to think about common metrics for measuring TGRIP productivity
