Local Innovation in Population Health: Lessons from the LDPHM Initiative
Join us this month for a dynamic webinar exploring the Locally Driven Population Health Models (LDPHM, formerly known as the High Priority Community Strategy) initiative in Ontario. This session will provide an overview of the LDPHM approach, share key areas of work and early findings across Ontario, and highlight local innovations in population health planning and delivery. We will also be joined by representatives from the Health Common Solutions Lab, who are also participating alongside the communities. Hear directly from three community-based agencies involved in the initiative as they share their experiences, challenges, and practical lessons learned that can inform population health efforts across Ontario’s diverse regions. Whether you’re part of an OHT, CHC, public health unit, or another organization focused on health equity and systems transformation, this webinar will offer valuable insights for applying locally driven approaches in your context.

Integrated Care Pathways – Exploring the Building Blocks for Success
In April 2025, HSPN’s monthly webinar will delve into Integrated Care Pathways (ICPs), focusing on the key building blocks that contribute to their success. We will hear from Ontario Health Teams, East Toronto Health Partners, Burlington OHT, and Frontenac, Lennox & Addington OHT, as they share their experiences in planning and implementing ICPs. Following the presentations, we’ll open the floor for an engaging discussion on the critical components that drive success in ICPs. This interactive session will invite reflection from the audience on how care integration across different service settings can enhance patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. We are also thrilled to welcome Melissa Chang, Senior Director of Integrated Care at UHN Connected Care, who will offer valuable insights on the pivotal role ICPs play in advancing integrated care. Join us for this dynamic and informative session, where you’ll gain practical insights and have the opportunity to contribute to the conversation on the future of integrated care.
How Does Policy Support Integrated Care? International Examples, Ontario Practice
Health systems around the world are aligned in aiming to improve on quadruple aim goals of patient and provider experience, health outcomes and value creation. Health systems are also pursuing these goals through the advancement of population health and integrated care. The North American Observatory (NAO) has undertaken an international review of health policy supports for integrated care with case studies draw from the NHS England, the Netherlands, Germany and the United States. The NAO and key informants from this international review will speak to the opportunities for Canada to learn from these examples. The Health System Performance Network in Ontario also undertook a review within Ontario’s example of population health and integrated care – Ontario Health Teams – to understand local health system needs and policy stakeholder goals and supports within integrated delivery systems. Join our speakers and learn from the international experience. Bring your ideas, questions and challenges and ideas for policy supports for population health and integrated care.
