Care Forward
Care Forward is a pan-Canadian movement of people sharing knowledge and applying proven approaches to improve healthcare for at least one million people across the country.
Better care for more people
Imagine a future where everyone receives the right healthcare, at the right time, in the right place. Where more people can age at home with dignity, and long-term care is compassionate and tailored for those who need it. Where the health workforce is supported and leading the way forward.
Healthcare Excellence Canada and partners are helping organizations across the country make this vision reality.
Let’s build 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 teams ensuring people get the right care, at the right time, in the right place.
Enhancing Integrated Care
Open to organizations working to strengthen integrated team-based care, including virtual care.
Primary Care Access Improvement
Offers team-based primary care organizations opportunities to create efficiencies and optimize team functioning so they can provide timely access to care.
Paramedics and Social Prescribing
Supports paramedic teams to 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 in their own homes, helping them age safely and comfortably where they already live.
Sparking Change in the Appropriate Use of Antipsychotics
