Description: In 2020/21 the province’s 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) continued to build strong local health care systems, centred around the patient and in collaboration with health care and community partners. This work was guided by the health care system’s Quadruple Aim, an invaluable compass for informing decisions and optimizing health care performance, which calls for improving population health outcomes, improving patient experience, improving frontline and provider experience, and achieving better value. Throughout the year, LHINs supported the planning, implementation and ongoing operation of countless initiatives across the province in sectors including (but not limited to) home and community care, long-term care, hospitals, primary care, mental health and addictions, rehabilitation, occupational therapy and palliative care. Much of this work was guided by three key priorities: maintaining continuity of care while improving access and quality, supporting better connected care and supporting and stabilizing the health system and their regional communities through the first, second and third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
