Details
There is growing international evidence that integrating care for older persons with ongoing, complex health and social needs is where you want to go: not only does greater integration promise better outcomes for older persons and their caregivers, it can make health care systems more cost-effective and sustainable. Yet, integrating initiatives in Ontario and elsewhere have been challenging to start, sustain, scale up and spread.
This half-day symposium examines ongoing challenges and opportunities for integrating community-based supports and primary health care for older persons and caregivers. It asks the question: if integrating care is so promising, why is it so tough to achieve, and how can lessons learned locally and internationally be leveraged to move forward in Ontario?
