Effective Governance for Quality is an evidence-based training program created by the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI). To support the quality agenda in primary care, a year ago MOHLTC partnered with CPSI and the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario (AFHTO), the Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC), the Nurse Practitioner’s Association of Ontario (NPAO) to customize the program to Ontario’s primary care organizations. This year, peer leaders from FHTs and NPLCs have been trained to deliver the workshops to our members and are working with the AFHTO team to ensure that our members continue to receive the support required to develop strong governance structures and processes for quality care.
AFHTO has requested funding from the Ministry to cover some or all of the costs of this learning program. Remaining costs will be covered through registration fees that could be FREE or to UP TO a maximum of $325 per person. AFHTO will contact registered participants to confirm the fee once the Ministry funding letter is received. It is recommended that each organization send more than one person to the program to fully benefit from the training
