The Oxford Ontario Health Team is a multi-organizational partnership that includes active participation from local healthcare providers, clinicians, patients, caregivers and the broader community. With varying areas of care and expertise, our goal is to work together to bring a coordinated, streamlined healthcare experience to the Oxford County Community.
In order to work towards this goal, we have created the following working groups:
Leadership and Strategy Council (The Council)
The Council sets priorities, drives improvements, and develops strategies to ensure all partners are in alignment. They collectively steward, shape, influence, and accelerate healthcare system transformation and experience across the Oxford OHT.
Collaboration Committee
The Collaboration Committee works together to ensure the work plans for our teams align with the Oxford OHT strategic priorities. They understand the work being executed across the Oxford OHT and act as a forum for discussion, planning, and problem-solving. The Collaboration Committee coordinates efforts across the OHT, reducing duplication, managing issues, and making decisions in alignment with the direction set by the Leadership and Strategy Council and the objectives of The Ministry of Health’s Quadruple Aim.
Patient Engagement Action Team (PEAT)
The Patient Engagement Action Team is responsible for bringing the perspectives of patients, families, and caregivers into the co-design of the Oxford OHT. Their purpose is to improve patient and family experiences across and between OHT partner organizations and support the evolution of health care navigation, access, and health literacy. The group serves in an advisory and decision-making capacity, making recommendations on matters that impact the community members of Oxford County.

They recommend foundational steps to prepare Oxford OHT partners for digital health technology, including privacy actions to improve patient and provider experience.
