OHT current state survey
We’re requesting EDs complete the following short survey to identify your teams’ current state within the Ontario Health Team development process. This information is key for us to track progress across the province.
We’re working closely with the OMA and OCFP to map out primary care involvement and to ensure teams have access to supports that will help improve OHT participation readiness and eventual implementation.
Please complete the survey by Friday, May 10, 2019.
If you have any questions or follow-up inquiries please contact bryn.hamilton@afhto.ca.
