Within the home and community care sector, understanding the conditions fostering successful care coordination is crucial.This realist review answers: What conditions (contexts & mechanisms) enable care coordination to be successful (outcomes) in home and community care models
Integrating Home Care
Seven Ontario Health Teams (OHTs), each a group of cross-sectoral health service organizations collaborating to integrate care, were chosen to lead the modernization of home and community care. We explore the models key transformation ideas and report on the barriers and facilitators to implementation. The findings of this study will be of interest to people designing an implementing integrated care projects as well as evaluators and researchers …
The Evolution of Ontario Health Teams
Background: Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, is no stranger to integrated care initiatives. However, none have been as ambitious and far-reaching as the Ontario Health Team (OHT) initiative, announced by its Ministry of Health (MOH) in 2019. Its eventual objective is population health management – every Ontarian will belong to an OHT providing them with seamlessly coordinated care across the hospital-community continuum. Our team conduct…
Evaluation Capacity Building for Integrated Care Models in Practice
Quality and timely evaluation is key in creating a sustainable integrated care; however, it requires resources, expertise, and capacity building.

Primary care was foundational to this approach. We sought to identify factors that impacted primary care engagement during OHT formation from different perspectives. Methods: Interviews with 111 participants (administrators n = 80; primary care providers n = 17; patient family advisors = 14) …

The beginnings of health system transformation
PURPOSE/ SETTING: The launch of Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) by the Canadian province of Ontario in 2019 represented a milestone in the journey towards integrated care and population health management. However, early model development was riddled with uncertainty. We explore what makes transformation possible even in the context of uncertainty. METHODS: We conducted 125 interviews with administrators, clinicians, and patient and family advisors ac…

This research shows how program implementers went beyond policy-makers' original designs, to make integrated care sustainable for chronic diseases. METHODS: Forty-five interviews were conducted…
