Welcome to the Ontario Health Association's (OHA) resource page developed to provide you with a high-level overview of the primary member services and resources available to you, as well as the communications you can expect to receive from the OHA.
As the voice of Ontario's public hospitals, our efforts focus on achieving a high-performing health system by providing high-value leadership and services in targeted areas for OHA members and system partners.
Physician Leadership Committee
The OHA convenes members from across the province through networks and committees to represent the context, perspectives and issues of our diverse membership. Both networks and committees are member forums intended to inform OHA advocacy and keep members apprised of emerging issues, encourage active participation in generative discussions, and enable members to connect and collaborate with the OHA team and one another.
The Physician Leadership Committee brings together a number of physician leaders from hospitals across the province to collaborate on common physician-related issues and provide strategic advice to the OHA on matters that impact hospital-based practice.
Learn more or email Kristen Pitzul at kpitzul@oha.com for more information.
Data and Analytics Dashboards
The OHA's Data & Analytics platform supports hospitals with accurate, insightful data to enable quick analysis and evidence-informed decision-making. The platform includes foundational data and benchmarking platforms in finance, human resources (HR), patient experience and governance. Under the finance tools section, you will find the Mental Health and Addictions Quality Standard – Schizophrenia Care Dashboard launched in December 2021 as part of the Mental Health and Addictions Funding Initiative. The dashboard allows hospitals to compare their performance with peers and can be used for performance measurement and quality improvement purposes.
For any questions about this dashboard or to request access, please contact
DataAnalytics@oha.com.
Member Communications
You will begin to receive member bulletins from the OHA developed to keep hospital members apprised of the latest developments and important updates affecting the sector. These include the weekly Services, Resources, Guidance bulletin – sent on Thursdays – which compiles relevant updates from across the health care system, and the ad hoc Health System Updates bulletins, which each focus on a key issue.
For questions, please contact communications@oha.com.
