Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) represent a transformative model for delivering care across the province. Designed to improve coordination and access, OHTs bring together hospitals, doctors, home and community care providers, and other health professionals as one collaborative team. The goal is to make the health care experience more seamless and patient-centered, regardless of where services are provided.
Under the OHT model, patients benefit from integrated services, reducing gaps in care and making it easier to transition between providers. This patient-first approach emphasizes improving health outcomes, reducing wait times, and enhancing communication between health professionals. Whether it’s acute care, long-term care, or mental health services, the OHT works as a unified system to meet patient needs.
By working together as one team, Ontario Health Teams aim to make navigating the health care system simpler and more efficient for patients, while enhancing the quality of care across communities.
