They have been used extensively during caregiver training with very positive feedback regarding their usefulness. We encourage you to access the video clips to learn more about mouthcare for this population, improve your skill in effectively providing mouthcare for others, and share this information with others. The video clips are available free of charge, provided users formally recognize their origin and the authors.

It is increasingly clear that Ontario‘s capacity to provide affordable, accessible, and high quality care in settings preferred by Ontarians, will not meet future needs without significant innovation and transformation. This report examines the impact of demographic and resource trends on the capacity of Ontario‘s LTC sector to fulfill its role; identifies ideas and strategies for harnessing the innovation potential of the sector; and provides a conceptual framework to guide innovation in the sector and the broader health system. On Wednesday, March 2, The Conference Board of Canada (CBoC) released an Innovation Strategy report, commissioned by the Ontario Long Term Care Association (OLTCA). The report, Elements of an Effective Innovation Strategy for Long Term Care in Ontario, concludes a more innovative long term care sector in Ontario would deliver both improved care for an aging Ontario population and cost savings for the provincial healthcare system.
