Recently, the Ontario Health Team (OHT) produced a Virtual Engagement Series in collaboration with Ontario Health (OH) and partners in the Central Program of Supports, for healthcare teams in Ontario to learn, ask questions, and share successes or challenges about areas of common interest.

The first session was a spotlight on Innovative Virtual Care Models featuring Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC)'s partnership with SeamlessMD.

  • 94.88% Patient Activation Rate;
  • 85.48% Patient Engagement Rate (i.e. Patients completing a "health check" survey 1 week post-op);
  • Improved Patient Satisfaction Results;
  • ↓ patient phone calls;
  • ↓ 41.03% 30-day ED Visits; and
  • ↓ 4.03% 30-day Readmissions;
