HealthForceOntario provides support for an The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the OSMT has been selected as a recipient of a HealthForceOntario grant to support a project called Improved laboratory testing and proficiency for better patient care by the health professions of Ontario – a pilot project in North East LHIN. The project will result in an interprofessional symposium in Sudbury in September 2009 to facilitate transfer of knowledge amongst healthcare providers who perform laboratory functions outside the laboratory. HealthForceOntario, a human resource initiative of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, will provide $146,540 toward the support of this innovative project under its “Optimizing Use of Health Providers’ Competencies Fund” program. We would like
to take this opportunity to thank HealthForceOntario for
recognizing that laboratory functions and the work of laboratory
professionals are critical to quality patient care. More
information about this will be posted on the OSMT website as the
project progresses. |
