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 tool,s and an approach to evaluating Ontario Health Teams.

Topic: 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.
