Grant: SPOR PIHCI Network: Management & Operations Grant

The Ontario government is committed to a process in which evidence will drive health system transformation and policy decision-making. We are building on that foundation and leveraging our resources in evaluation, innovation and research in Ontario and have created the provincial network for Better Access and Care for Complex Needs (BeACCON). BeACCON will facilitate the linkages and infrastructure to support better research, policy and practice through a dynamic and responsive learning network that will develop, evaluate and support scale up of new approaches to the delivery of integrated and cost-effective services across and beyond sectors of health care. BeACCON incorporates a focus on multi-sectoral integration of community-based primary care services and vertical system integration across primary, secondary, tertiary, and long-term care to provide services for patients with complex needs. BeACCON is also focused on upstream predictors of high need that will enable the identification and targeting of prevention strategies and the engagement of sectors outside of health such as housing, justice and education.
