How will OHTs impact my care?2021-05-31T15:33:13-04:00

Right now, there will be no changes to your care. You will continue to access care the way you do currently, whether that is through community services, your doctor, or the hospital. As OHTs are formed – which will be an ongoing process over several years until provincial coverage is achieved – patients will be able to more easily access and navigate the system and be better supported as they transition from one provider or setting to another.

What is an Ontario Health Team (OHT) and how does an OHT work?2022-11-10T01:20:06-05:00

OHTs are groups of providers and organizations that, at maturity, will be clinically and fiscally accountable for delivering a full and coordinated continuum of care to a defined population. OHTs are being introduced to provide a new way of organizing and delivering care that is more connected to patients in their local communities. Under OHTs, health care providers (including hospitals, doctors/nurse practitioners and home and community care providers) work as one coordinated team – no matter where they provide care.

OHTs are aligned with the Quadruple Aim, which is an internationally-recognized framework that designs and delivers an effective health care system. The four objectives of the Quadruple Aim are:

1. Improving the patient and caregiver experience;

2. Improving the health of populations;

3. Reducing the per capita cost of health care; and,

4. Improving the work life of providers.

OHTs were designed by the Ontario government as a way to build a connected health care system centred on patients, families and caregivers. These changes will strengthen local services, making it easier for patients to navigate the system and transition between providers. Right now, there are 54 OHTs in the province.
