Winning strategies to help all health service providers improve the QUALITY and ACCESS to French-language services. The protocol brings together a set of winning strategies and the tools to implement them.

In June 2023, the Archipel Ontario Health Team launched a project to facilitate the implementation of online appointment booking (OAB) systems for health service providers. The project is led in collaboration with Ontario Health and members of the Archipel Primary Care Network. Seven primary care clinics in Ottawa East are participating, and five of them have gone live with their systems.

Since September 2023, Reconsolidation Therapy TM is offered to Montfort’s emergency room patients who are experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or who are at risk of being affected by it. The aim is to match these clients with appropriate and free mental health services through the Access MHA platform before they leave Montfort’s emergency department. This new service is the result of a collaborative initiative of Archipel’s Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) working group. The multisectoral group brings together client partners, the Eastern Ottawa community family health team, Centre médical Sainte-Anne, Montfort Renaissance, Ottawa Salus, Le CAP and Hôpital Montfort to find ways to reduce recurrent consultations for mental health reasons in emergency departments, while better helping people in need.

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Archipel navigation and referral network, accessible from our new website. Starting December 1, care and services offered by more than 20 partner organizations in Eastern Ottawa and Prescott-Russell will be easy to find, thanks to a portal based on the Caredove digital platform.

The CMA Summit brought together more than 700 people: health care providers and specialists, representatives of various groups, clients or users of the system, including patients and caregivers. The theme of the conference, What Health Care Should Be, engaged participants in national conversations about tough challenges and solutions.

Launched in March 2022 as a pilot project, the Archipel Postpartum Wellness Clinic is a unique collaboration between Ottawa Public Health (OPH), two primary care providers from the Équipe santé familiale communautaire de l’est d’Ottawa and the Hôpital Montfort.

The director of Archipel wins an award and is convinced that in health as in business, to establish a good support network, it takes a community!

Supported by Archipel Ontario Health Team and funded by Ontario Health, the program is a partnership between the Hôpital Montfort and the Ottawa and Prescott-Russell Community Paramedic Services aimed at improving patient transitions from hospital to home. The bilingual program provides support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for a period of 14 days following discharge from the hospital.

The members of the Ottawa East Ontario Health Team and the Prescott Russell in development Team are proud to announce their alliance to form the Archipel Ontario Health Team (OHT).
