The goal of the OHT is to provide more coordinated care for patients while reducing administrative burden on physicians.
Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) are a new model of integrated care delivery that will enable primary care providers, patients, families, communities and organizations to work together to provide an innovative and fully coordinated continuum of care to a defined geographic population.
SCOPE (Seamless Care Optimizing the Patient Experience)
The SCOPE program connects primary care providers (PCPs) to specialists and other care providers to provide urgent access to advice for their patients. Using a central phone number, the SCOPE model connects providers to interprofessional advice/resources.
NLOT (Nurse Practitioner-Led Outreach Team)
A specialized team of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) who provide remote and on-site support to LTCH. The NPs optimize the health care needs of residents, provide timely treatment in the home to avoid unnecessary trips to an emergency department, and enhance cross-sectoral collaboration/integration.
