Whether you are in one of the 47 Health Links have been approved to date, or will be participating in a future Health Link, the presentations listed below will give you an update on the progress of Health Link implementation to date. These presentations were made at a meeting last week for all the associations whose members are involved in Health Links. Points to note:
- AFHTO continues to hold monthly teleconferences for FHTs leading Health Links to raise and resolve common issues. Please contact Clarys.Tirel@afhto.ca for further information.
- The 47 Health Links currently approved cover a geography that encompasses just over half of Ontario’s population.
- Expectation is that there will be 90+ Health Links covering the full province by some point in 2015.
- Initial “rapid cycle evaluation” is tracking four domains to understand how Health Links are evolving:
- Identification of Complex Patients
- Care Coordination
- Patient Care
- Patient Experience
- Future evaluation will address impact of Health Link model on system performance.
- A “Care Coordination Tool” is being developed for roll-out across the province.
