We will be a leading contributor in the health policy dialogue by generating and sharing ideas to improve the system.
​

Across Ontario, many hospitals are redefining  themselves far beyond their traditional roles. Their evolution as service providers drives the OHA’s long-term thought leadership objective – to begin to examine and define the hospital of the future within Ontario’s health system.

The OHA’s research with the University of Toronto on the 12 attributes of a high-performing health care system provides the responsible and evidence-based foundation for our thought leadership efforts. We will focus on specific attributes where there is a clear mandate for the OHA to play a leadership role, and examine critical questions such as: What is the future relationship between hospitals and physicians? How does governance need to change and evolve within hospitals and across wider health care communities? How should accountability relationships change into the future? Through funding methodologies, technology and changes in clinical practice, what new models of care can better meet the needs of patients?

Our thought leadership will examine these and other relevant areas by bringing members, partners, government, academia and our internal expertise together to engage in new research, share learnings, and shape the exciting work already underway in Ontario.
