OMA solutions for government to fix the primary care crisis
As physicians, when patients look to us for help, our first step is to diagnose the problem and then determine a treatment plan. Similarly, with Ontario’s health-care system, we see the issues. We know the diagnosis because we live it every day.
Every Ontarian, no matter where they live, should have a well co-ordinated health-care team supporting them when and where they need it.
Reduce unnecessary forms so Ontario’s doctors can spend more time caring for patients.
Far too many Ontarians are languishing in hospital beds when they could be discharged and better cared for elsewhere.
Reduce wait times by making it easier for family doctors to refer their patients to a specialist.
As the representative of Ontario’s physicians, we advocate for the well-being of our members and the health of Ontarians.
