Publication year: 2018
Momentum for patient and caregiver engagement in
health and social care is growing across Ontario.(1) This
is evidenced by a number of recently released strategies
and frameworks highlighting the importance of
involving Ontarians in their own care as informed
consumers of health and social services. One such
notable example was the Patients First Act 2016, for
which a key pillar was informing and educating patients
to make informed decisions about their health in efforts
to improve their experiences and health outcomes.
