Ontario Health Team handbook for boards
We’re excited to offer our members AFHTO’s Ontario Health Team Handbook for Boards. This resource has been developed to provide boards of primary care organizations with essential and basic information on OHTs, and to help guide discussions on OHT developments. We hope this will further your understanding of the changing landscape of health care delivery in Ontario, and that it will help equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions.
For further information on OHTs, please visit the AFHTO website for ongoing updates.
