Abstract
It is of general consensus that Ontario’s health care system has noted integration challenges (Devlin, 2019a, 2019b). As per the Ministry of Health (2019d), “over time the province’s health system has become fractured and disconnected, and as a result patients have been left to suffer on wait lists and navigate the system on their own”. To address these concerns, the government has proposed a new model of coordination and desires that “health care providers will be accountable for the patients they serve and will partner to effectively coordinate their care” (Ministry of Health, 2019d). The purpose of this research note is to describe the transition to a new model of service delivery and organisational governance called Ontario Health Teams (OHT), and to discuss some observations resulting from this transition. This note is part of a sequence of three research notes. The first note (#PARG 2020-06RN) provides a typology and a list of organisations within Ontario’s health care system. The note represents the system as it has existed before implementation of 2019 reforms. The second note (#PARG 2020-07RN) provides an overview of the transition to a single Ontario Health agency. This third note (#PARG 2020-08RN) examines the organisational transition to Ontario Health Teams.
