On-going

Way Forward Commitment:

Shared services involves the central processing of transactions and services for one or more back-office functions on behalf of several business units within an organization. We will continue to take steps to consolidate corporate services for various accounting and finance processes, such as accounts receivables, collections, accounts payables, banking, payroll and purchasing, as well as human resources and information technology. In 2017-18, we initiated the development of a shared-services work plan and, in 2018-19 we will work with partners in ABCs to identify specific shared-services opportunities for implementation.

What We’ve Accomplished:

• In 2017-18, a work plan was developed to identify steps required to share back office functions.
• The Department of Health and Community Services is now implementing a province-wide shared services model for supply chain management in the health care system. Once fully implemented, the shared services model is expected to result in annual savings in excess of $13 million.
