Identifying how Ontario Health Teams can meet the needs of rurally based patients and community partners in mixed urban-rural and predominantly rural environments

Providers operating in mixed urban-rural environments and in predominantly rural environments face longstanding challenges in planning for and delivering care. The introduction of Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) offers the potential to alleviate some of these challenges, however, also introduces others. RISE prepared a rapid synthesis and RISE brief on the topic, which were used to inform two citizen panels and a jamboree with key health-system stakeholders from Ontario on the topic. Insights gathered from the panels and the jamboree were incorporated into the final versions of the documents. Learn more in this RISE brief and other products.
