Ontario Health Teams
Ontario Health Teams (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 and home and community care providers) will work as one coordinated team – no matter where they provide care. We are developing a range of supports for OHTs including practice guides, measurement tools and an approach to evaluating Ontario Health Teams.
ADVANCE Program of Supports ›
As one of the Ministry’s Central Support Programs to OHTs, our ADVANCE faculty has redesigned our Programs to support your leadership team virtually.

We are host to global leading centres for evidence curation and creation here in Ontario including RISE and the McMaster Health Forum, the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and the Centre for Rural and Northern Health Research. Hear about how these centres can help you to connect with evidence for your OHT. Learn how to leverage existing knowledge to enhance your health system’s performance and adaptability.
