WHO IS OLTCC?
The OLTCC is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2016 to serve Medical Directors, Attending Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician’s Assistants and Pharmacists working in long term care homes in Ontario.
PEER SUPPORT
Physicians in Long Term Care provide care in an interdisciplinary setting to an increasingly complex patient population. We provide this care in a highly regulated environment that is undergoing continuous transformation. Physicians need to know that there is help from their peers when they are faced with difficult issues. The OLTCC provides help and expertise by mentoring members who provide care in LTC homes by equiping them with knowledge and information around options and ways to ensure they are providing quality of care for their residents.
EDUCATION
The OLTCC’s annual conference “Practical Pearls in Long Term Care” is a highly respected and well attended conference addressing clinical and administrative issues facing physicians, nurse practitioners and other clinical providers in LTC homes. The format combines plenary sessions with interactive workshops along with opportunities for networking with peers.
The LTC Medical Director Course was successfully launched in 2014 and is now mandated by the Ministry of LTC. This comprehensive course covers various topics such as regulatory environment, quality improvement, and leadership and risk management.
Community of Practice is a monthly webinar series that launched in 2023 with 1 hour presentations followed by discussion on important LTC topics.
NETWORKING
The opportunity to network with other physicians, Medical Directors, and LTC clinical providers is a highlight of the annual conference. The website allows members to not only access relevant clinical information but to connect with other physicians with similar practices for information and discussion.
ADVOCACY
Medical Directors and attending physicians practicing in LTC are under constant pressure to adapt newly implemented compliance frameworks based on the recently amended Fixing Long Term Care Act and regulations. The OLTCC strives to be present and have a voice at the table with important LTC Associations, MLTC, and organizations such as Health Quality Ontario. Through our representation, we are, actively collaborating to improve clinical care for the residents we look after and the care experience for their families.
