| 2019 Ontario budget consultations Ontario’s government is seeking public input for the 2019 Ontario Budget until Feb. 8, 2019. They want to hear your ideas on the best ways to fulfill their five core commitments, including the commitment to cut hospital wait times and end hallway healthcare. Creating a robust and well–resourced primary health care system is a major solution to address the current crisis so this is an opportunity to highlight how your team is making a difference in your community and why there needs to be further investments in team-based primary care. You can submit suggestions in multiple ways, including online and in-person. |

| Opportunity to participate in an accreditation pilot The Canadian Centre for Accreditation (CCA) provides leadership in accreditation by assuring quality and continuous improvement in community-based health and social services. The CCA is offering a pilot project for Community-based Primary Health Care Standards that the CCA has revised. While accreditation of FHTs and NPLCs is not mandatory at this time, teams are being offered an opportunity to provide input into the development of primary care accreditation standards. This will include submitting pre-site evidence and hosting a CCA reviewer for one day to conduct the site visit. All expenses are covered by the CCA. If you’re interested in participating, please contact Bryn Hamilton before the holidays at bryn.hamilton@afhto.ca. |

Your response will directly influence the topics they select for the Knowledge Translation in Primary Care Initiative (KTinPC). The CEP is collaborating with the Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) and the Nurse Practitioners’ Association of Ontario (NPAO) on this multi-year Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) funded initiative to develop and disseminate clinical tools and resources on up to five clinical topics each year.
