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.

Topic: Considering Implementation in Learning Health Systems: From Research to Routine Practice
Join our “Considering Implementation in Learning Health Systems” webinar this September. This webinar will provide an introduction to knowledge translation and implementation science methods. Using a project that implemented fascia iliaca blocks as a pain management method for hip fractures in a Toronto hospital as a case study, participants will learn how a knowledge translation framework, the Knowledge to Action Cycle, can be used to support implementation of new practices in clinical settings. Participants will hear from multiple members of the project team who can provide valuable perspectives on doing real-world implementation. Come to learn about theories, models and frameworks, how these were applied in the case example, and finally, tools on how to use the theories for practical implementation efforts.
