Four AFHTO members are profiled in two Success Studies found in Quality Monitor 2011 Report on Ontario's Health System, released today:
- North York FHT and Smithville FHT for reducing waits and increasing physician continuity (http://www.hqontario.ca/pdfs/2011_success_story_2_en.pdf )
- Petawawa FHT and Timmins FHT for improving diabetes management and encouraging patient self-management (http://www.hqontario.ca/pdfs/2011_success_story_5_en.pdf )
The 2011 Report covers eight Success Studies. These four FHTs have the distinction of being the only primary care organizations that are profiled. They join two FHTS profiled in HQO’s 2010 Report – Athens FHT (http://www.afhto.ca/news/fht-success-stories/succes-story-post/ ) and New Vision FHT (http://www.afhto.ca/news/fht-success-story-2-2/ ). This is but a sample of the excellent progress many FHTs have made in improving care for their patients.
