Achieving Integrated Care: Making System Change Stick

 

Healthcare providers are constantly asked to transform their operations to meet the demands of legislative changes and disruptive technologies. The implementation of Ontario Health Teams represents the coming together of the acute, long-term care, rehabilitation and community sectors to provide integrated, client-centered care. 

Achieving successful change hinges on how it’s communicated and the ability of organizations to flex their structures. That makes it imperative that leaders and managers fill their toolboxes with effective communication techniques and reconfiguration strategies that pave a path to success.

Join this inaugural joint event between the Greater Toronto Area Chapter of the Canadian College of Health Leaders and the Canadian Chapter of ACHE to explore what is required to make system change stick.
