Program and Agenda
Health System Integration Built On The Foundation Of Team-Based Primary Health Care
Change can come fast and furious, and Ontario’s healthcare system is no exception. With legislation introduced in February, ‘upheaval’ could be considered an understatement. But the fundamentals remain- no matter the structure surrounding them, patients need care. And primary health care teams need to position themselves to provide this care in the best way possible. |
Program
‘Integration’ may be the word of the day, but primary care teams
already embody it. At AFHTO’s 2019 Conference over 800 primary care
providers, interprofessional health care providers, patients and
community partners will explore how comprehensive care creates
the patient medical home.
Evidence shows this home is the best foundation for a high-performing
health system, so together we’ll tackle how teams can provide truly
patient-centred care and value for all Ontarians.
Conference Highlights:
- AFHTO "Bright Light" Awards Ceremony – Awards will be presented at lunchtime on September 19, 2019 for a celebration recognising the outstanding patient-centred care interprofessional primary care teams across Ontario deliver. Select awards receive education grants. Nominations open until June 28!
