To inspire, invent and deliver tomorrow’s care Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) are continuing to build on the promise that Ontarians can expect to receive comprehensive and coordinated health care. Ontario Health has announced a phased introduction of integrated clinical pathways for OHTs to facilitate the delivery of proactive evidence-based care for patients with specific conditions. Over time, OHTs will implement pathways for people living with congestive health failure (CHF), diabetes (focused on avoiding amputation), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), stroke and mental health. The Mid-West Toronto OHT, which includes UHN, has been selected as the demonstration site for diabetes avoiding amputation pathways and we anticipate the opportunity to apply for more demonstration opportunities. This is an excellent start that demonstrates the close connection between the MWT-OHT Secretariat and the MWT-OHT partners working closely together to deliver exceptional services and care to patients in both acute and community settings. This role will be directly involved with the design and creation of new and innovative models of care in limb preservation.
