COURSE OVERVIEW
Ontario’s Connecting Care Act established a new model of care delivery through Ontario Health Teams (OHTs), in which health care providers from across the continuum of care (hospitals, home care providers, primary care, health service providers, long term care, community support agencies and more), work together as a coordinated team to provide health and health related services to their communities.
This requires integrated and coordinated governance between the organizations involved while each of the organizations also maintains their own independent identity.
