“The main objectives of the local management plan 2.0 are to grant more autonomy to the outlying territories of the Outaouais, in order to improve the efficiency and coordination of operations, support for field teams in their daily activities and reconciliation of decision-making processes with operations,” the CISSSO wrote in a press release. “The newly appointed RLS directors will work in close collaboration with partners in the community, as well as managers, doctors and local teams.”
