The replacement of LHINs with health teams is reason to evaluate the role of regional leadership in Ontario’s health system. Health teams are designed to integrate care in hospital and community, including primary care and home and community care. Groups of providers organized into Ontario Health Teams with no specified governance, no regional leadership staff and no budget for regional management? Ontario Health Teams may eventually take over regional leadership. This is a precipitous change that may prove detrimental to quality improvement in Ontario health care.
