Toronto/CMEDIA: With a focus to provide people with a better health care experience by connecting them to more convenient options closer to home, the Ontario government released today Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, a news release reported today.
Besides shortening wait times for key services across the province, the planaims to growing the health care workforce for years to come.
“When it comes to your health and the health of all Ontarians, the status quo isn’t working,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “As we put our bold plan into action, you will be connected to care when you need it most and where it’s most convenient, whether that’s closer to home in your community or even at home.”
The plan lays out a broad series of initiatives under three pillars: The Right Care in the Right Place, Faster Access to Care and Hiring More Health Care Workers.
These three pillars are designed to work together and work for people to deliver connected and convenient care in hospital emergency rooms, in community settings like pharmacies and community organizations and doctors’ offices, in long-term care homes and through care delivered right at home.
Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care will not only put Ontarians back in charge of their health by making it easier to navigate care at every stage of their life, and providing more ways to receive care closer to home.
