#Introduction

The Pursuing Equity Learning and Action Network was an 18-month initiative from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) which ran from October 2020 until April 2022. It aimed to reduce inequities in health and health care access, treatment, and outcomes by implementing comprehensive strategies to create and sustain equitable health systems. Participating teams selected a clinical project and worked with an IHI coach towards their goal.

In 2018/19 the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care provided one-time Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) funding to the Indigenous Primary Health Care Council (IPHCC) to support the collection and analysis of data to provide a better understanding of Indigenous community-governed MHA programs and services in Ontario.

The Learning Collaborative (LC) is a short-term learning system that brings together peers from multiple organizations to seek improvement in a focused topic area, with guidance from a coach or practice facilitator.

In July 2021, the Ministry of Health offered one-time funding to Ontario Health Teams (OHTs), ‘In Development Teams’ and other health care organizations to implement, enhance and scale virtual care programs and services. The funding was intended to support the recovery of the health system from Covid-19 by increasing access to services, changing how care is delivered and building digital capacity.
