The pressures facing our current health care system are well known. So too are our collective goals, including access, quality and sustainability.

In June, the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) and the Ontario Association of Community Care Access Centres (OACCAC) released a though-provoking policy paper on health care reform. Four Pillars: Recommendations for Achieving a High Performing Health System sets out 15 recommendations for Ontario grounded on four pillars. The document is recommended reading for anyone in our community with an interest in the health care system and the priorities that lie ahead. For a copy of the paper, click here.
