The COVID-19 Response Working Group focused on the rapid implementation of strategic initiatives to support system planning by working collaboratively to advance Emergency Department Diversion initiatives across the Lakeridge Health System. To assist with ensuring continued access to acute care hospital services during the fifth wave, a communication strategy was developed and an urgent Call to Action was initiated resulting in expanded community-based primary care clinic hours and increased access to virtual care. The Durham Ontario Health Team hosted its first Virtual Community Town Hall meeting on January 20, 2022. The event provided an opportunity for Durham Region residents to connect with primary care leaders to address questions and concerns regarding wave five of the pandemic in addition to sharing key messages related to accessing care. Over 658 people joined the event live and 3,327 attendees participated virtually. The OHT also hosted several professional development webinars that were focused on ED Diversion, our Durham Region’s Integrated COVID-19 Response and the Introduction of Antiviral Treatment Paxlovid.

Our Patient Family and Care Partners Engagement and partnering with patients, families and care partners are the building blocks of all Durham OHT activities in order to improve the system of health and social care and support for Durham Region residents. Our culture is driven by the lived experience and unique local needs of patients, families and care partners through collaboration and co-design across all OHT activities. Meet our Patient Family and Care Partner Advisors (PFCPAC) Michael Abra mczuk Michael's healthcare experience was formalized by a decade of assisting staff at Lakeridge Health with their IT and capital equipment needs and the accreditation review. As well, Michael made occasional presentations to the Development Committee of the Board and the Ministry of Health to help in the realization of today's Cancer Centre in Oshawa. Michael has significant family and care partner experience with persons requiring mental health supports, persons living with dementia, cancer diagnosis and treatment, and assisting frail elderly. And as a past Board member of Durham Mental Health Services he participated in helping many in the community who are/were experiencing similar challenges. As a member of the PFCPAC, Michael's priority is improved wayfinding of the healthcare system through one connected system. Michael is a professional accountant, married with two wonderful adult children, and he has a passion for travel. Manon Le monde Manon Lemonde is an associate professor at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Ontario Tech University (branding name for the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in Oshawa since July 2003. Prior to joining UOIT, she was an associate professor at the School of Nursing, Laurentian University in Sudbury where she was extensively involved in the delivery of the francophone baccalaureate program in nursing since 1987. She received her BScN, MScN and her PhD in biomedical sciences from the Université of Montréal. Her dissertation is titled: Quality of Life of Patients with Advanced Stages of Lung Cancer. She has many publications and presentations related to symptoms management in cancer patients, diabetes, and social support. Since her arrival at UOIT, she has been involved in projects for new grad, late career nurses, preceptor/mentor programs, health care services for French speaking seniors, cultural competence, chronic diseases management, human health resources planning in terms of recruitment, retention and work environment, program evaluation and knowledge transfer and utilization. Manon has developed a strong commitment to university community partnerships exemplified by her work with agencies such as Durham Region Health Department and Lakeridge Health. As part of her service commitment, Manon has been involved with the Francophone Table of Durham Region and was member of the Advisory Committee on Seniors Services and Long-Term Care of the City of Toronto for six years. She also held the Chair position of the Entite 4 for 3 years. These are some of her involvements in the community and Her community work targets the exploration of health promotion, prevention programs, access to health care for minority groups. Bette Hodgins Bette Hodgins has worked in the health care sector for many years, in both the acute and community sectors. Throughout this time she has enjoyed the challenges of front-line physiotherapy to executive management, healthcare consulting and most recently, start-up operations project management for Oak Ridges Hospice. Bette has also had the opportunity to serve as a Founding member of North House Shelter, and as Board Chair of the Scugog Memorial Public Library, led the development and expansion of the new library. She was also the essential caregiver for her mother until her passing in 2022. Caring for her mother gave Bette a deep appreciation for the needs of th e frail elderly, and the necessity for providing a voice for those who can no longer advocate for themselves. This became even more apparent after her mother fractured her hip in 2021, leaving her reliant on the strength, compassion and good will of others for her day-to-day quality of life. Our healthcare system is an oxymoron that has evolved from illness care, rather than health care. It is a system that is not a system; it is a series of organizational pigeonholes that inadvertently segregate the body from the mind and spirit. However the Durham OHT has a vision of creating an integrated system that overcomes historic hurdles and supports a seamless path to well-being. Along with the other members of the PFCP Advisory Council and the whole Durham OHT, Bette wants to participate in the realization of this vision where patients, families and care partners are equal voices at the planning table.

Ressources communautaires The Ontario government is building a connected health care system centered around patients, families and caregivers. These changes will strengthen local services, making it easier for patients to navigate the system and transition between providers. Ontario Health Teams are being introduced to provide a new way of organizing and delivering care that is more connected to patients in their local communities. There are 54 Ontario Health Teams across the province that have been approved through a standardized intake and assessment process. The goal is to ensure that everyone in Ontario can benefit from better coordinated, more integrated care. At this time, the ministry is supporting the expansion of provider partnerships in existing Ontario Health Teams. Under Ontario Health Teams, health care providers (including hospitals, doctors, and home and community care providers) work as one coordinated team – no matter where they provide care. Providers and organizations eligible to become an Ontario Health Team include, but are not limited to, those that provide: primary care (including inter-professional primary care and physicians) acute care (such as in-patient and ambulatory medical and surgical services, including specialist services) home care community support services mental health and addictions services health promotion and disease prevention services rehabilitation and complex care palliative care (such as hospice) residential care and short-term transitional care (such as supportive housing, long-term care homes, or retirement homes) emergency health services laboratory and diagnostic services midwifery services other social and community services and other services, as needed by the population Support for Ontario Teams Supports for Ontario Health Teams are for teams at all stages of implementation across various ministry areas and supports partners with expertise in integrated care delivery and population health. The following resources have been developed to support teams in advancing the Ontario Health Teams model: ​ Ontario Health Teams: The Path Forward - New direction for Ontario Health Teams to support their progress towards maturity.

It is intended to provide an overview of the patient attribution methodology used to identify the networks of patients attributed to Ontario Health Teams, an outline of new data enhancements, as well as clear guidance on how to interpret the information within the attribution data package. Patient, Family and Caregiver Declaration of Values for Ontario (Updated: July 2021) - This document is to articulate patient, family and caregiver expectations of Ontario’s health care system.
