Care Forward is a pan-Canadian movement of people sharing knowledge and applying proven approaches to improve healthcare quality and safety for at least one million people across the country.
Together, we’re building the movement for better care
Care Forward is a pan-Canadian movement of healthcare changemakers sharing knowledge and applying proven approaches to make healthcare better for more people. With support from Healthcare Excellence Canada—through funding, resources, expert coaching and a network of peers—they are driving lasting local impact and improving care for at least one million people across the country.
We’re focused on driving change on four key priorities, each one supported by a suite of offerings and resources that help healthcare teams make meaningful improvements:
Right Care Challenge
Open to health and social care delivery teams ensuring people get the right care, at the right time, in the right place.
Enhancing Integrated Care
Open to primary and community care delivery organizations that are working to strengthen integrated team-based care, including virtual care.
Primary Care Access Improvement
Team-based primary care organizations create efficiencies and optimize team functioning so they can provide timely access to care.
Paramedics and Social Prescribing
Paramedic teams use social prescribing to connect clients with local community services.
Nursing Home Without Walls
Supports jurisdictions across the country to bring nursing home support and services to older adults, helping them age safely and comfortably where they already live.
Sparking Change in the Appropriate Use of Antipsychotics
Open to long-term care homes who can get support to use person-centred approaches to reduce potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use.
How we drive local impact
Improvements are already underway and they’re making a difference. From helping more people access primary care to improving retention of healthcare staff, our programs and resources support teams across the country to deliver measurable results that create safer, more equitable healthcare for all.
