Patient Partnering Tools and Resources

As the provincial advisor on the quality of health care, Health Quality Ontario plays a role in facilitating patient partnering throughout all aspects of the health system. Working with patients, families and health providers, we gather and develop tools and resources to support their partnering efforts. 

We update these resources on an ongoing basis and include tools created by Health Quality Ontario, as well resources from expert sources. For more information about these tools and resources or other patient partnering best practices, please email Engagement@HQOntario.ca.
