July 19, 2024
 Stewardship: Redefining Leadership and Shaping Health Care with Patients, Families, & Caregivers

The Minister of Health’s Patient and Family Advisory Council has released its 2023-24 Annual Report. The Report highlights the recent work of the Council and its impact on the government’s ongoing work to create a more patient-centred, convenient, and connected health care system.

The Report demonstrates this impact across a significant range of topics, including through:

• providing input to the ongoing implementation of Ontario Health Teams;
• advising on patient, family, and caregiver experience and continuity of care to support the modernization of home and community care;
• informing strategic initiatives across the health care system such as mental health and addictions supports and integrated community health services; and,
• advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion to be at the core of health system transformation and decision making.

The theme of this year’s Report is stewardship and collective leadership with patients, families, and caregivers in health system transformation.
 
Council Chair Betty-Lou Kristy speaks to the importance of stewardship and impact for patients, families, and caregivers: “It’s so exciting to see the impact of the Council captured in this Report and for the public to have the opportunity to learn about our incredibly productive partnership with the Minister and Ministry of Health. I’m so proud to be involved in this innovative work and to support patients, families, and caregivers across the province to be true partners in transforming the health care system. The Council is thrilled to provide stewardship for co-designing with patients, families, and caregivers while maintaining momentum and sustaining this work over the long term.”
