The Ontario healthcare system, as it currently stands, is in a state of flux. Questions such as “is patient-centered care fuelled by innovation achievable?” and “is a fragmented and unconnected healthcare system inevitable?” equally reflect today’s reality.
This critical juncture represents a window of opportunity for Ontario to better serve patients, improve our healthcare system, and make it more sustainable. Developments in technology and entrepreneurial leadership have the potential to positively transform our system. And yet, we remain in danger of creating a healthcare system that is more fragmented and disconnected than ever.
It’s vital to ensure that Ontario has a “one patient, one team, one care plan” policy. Getting there will take political and visionary leadership at every level. Getting there is essential to safeguarding the future of our healthcare and ensuring sustained benefits from our publically funded system are delivered to all Ontarians.
