How is OTN Making a Difference in Ontario?
Our programs and services were developed with providers and partners in every part of Ontario’s health care system. The result? Improved access to care, more efficient delivery and more effective collaboration between providers.
This solid foundation has allowed us to rapidly develop and deploy real-world solutions that are aligned with Ontario’s best practices.
Like Telehomecare, which means CHF (congestive heart failure) and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) patients can be monitored and coached in their homes and, along with their caregivers, can actively engage in managing their own health. This is just one of the ways OTN is making a difference in Ontario.
