Government of Ontario
The Ontario government is changing the delivery of health care services through Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and the Local Health System Integration Act, 2006.
LHINs are a critical part of the evolution of health care in Ontario from a collection of services to a true system that is patient-focused, results-driven, integrated, and sustainable. The legislation places significant decision-making power at the community level and focuses the local health system on the community's needs, improving health results for patients in every part of the province. The LHINs will facilitate the effective and efficient integration of health care services and make it easier for people to get the best care in the most appropriate setting, when they need it.
