As an integral part of Ontario’s Chronic Disease Management Framework, Telehomecare aligns with and supports other provincial health strategies including Health Links. This program aims to improve the vascular health of residents in an effort to reduce emergency room visits and hospital re-admissions.

Telehomecare is available to all patients with mild-to-moderate Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) residing within the Ontario Health atHome. Referrals can be made by patients, caregivers, primary care providers (PCP’s), specialists or allied health professionals.

This program was designed and developed by the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN). OTN trains and certifies Telehomecare Clinicians, providing ongoing expert clinical support, in addition to managing the equipment and technology used in Telehomecare.
