Overview

The Connected Care Halton Ontario Health Team (CCHOHT) was one of the first Ontario Health Teams to be approved by the Ministry of Health and continues to work towards a new model of organizing and delivering health care that better connects patients and providers in their communities to improve patient outcomes.

This partnership has mapped out an ambitious and challenging strategy to improve the experience patients will have when accessing care. While the CCHOHT's approaches are grounded in population health approaches, these innovative strategies include early intervention, new digital technologies, enhanced bundled care programs, and increased coordination for medically complex patients. True to its population health roots, the CCHOHT is also especially focused on the social determinants of health, and developing approaches for marginalized and disadvantaged populations who experience higher rates of health issues.

The CCHOHT represents a partnership of health care providers in the Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville communities committed to better population health, better patient experiences, reduced costs and a better care team experience.
