It’s time to show everyone what you can do.
Present your ideas and initiatives at the AFHTO 2019 Conference:
Health System Integration Built
on the Foundation of Team-Based Primary Health Care
‘Integration’ may be the word of the day, but primary care teams already embody it. Interprofessional comprehensive care creates a patient medical home that is the foundation for a high-performing health care system.
With The People’s Health Care Act, and the introduction of Ontario Health Teams, team-based primary health care needs to demonstrate how much we truly provide patient-centred care. To do this we need to ask…what if?
What if that little program you’re quietly doing, reducing trips to the ER, relieving patients of unnecessary complications, could spread?
What if your peers in other small towns could learn more from your trial and error and go straight to better outcomes? What if this happened all across Ontario?
It can, if you submit an abstract to present a concurrent session or poster in 6 core themes at the AFHTO 2019 Conference on September 19 & 20, 2019.
The deadline to submit abstracts for concurrent sessions and posters is April 24, 2019 at 5:00 PM (EDT)
