OHT Proposed Regulations Feedback |
Significant progress has been made by approved OHTs to date, and designation would be used to ensure that OHTs have the needed structures and capacity in place to receive funding for integrated and co-ordinated services they deliver together.
As a result, a new regulation under the Connecting Care Act is being proposed that would outline requirements that OHTs would be required to meet to be eligible for potential designation. The Minister holds the discretionary authority to issue an OHT designation.
Proposed requirements for inclusion in the prospective regulation include:
• Creating a not-for-profit co-ordinating corporation with specified characteristics
• Involving patients, families and caregivers
• Establishing a primary care network
• Demonstrating home care delivery readiness
• Creating a not-for-profit co-ordinating corporation with specified characteristics
• Involving patients, families and caregivers
• Establishing a primary care network
• Demonstrating home care delivery readiness
AFHTO is seeking member feedback to inform a response to the Ministry on the proposed regulations. Please respond by end of day April 4th.
