Dear Dr. Tepper,<br />
We are pleased to submit the results of our work, <strong>Interprofessional</strong> <strong>Care</strong>: A <strong>Blueprint</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Action</strong> in<br />
Ontario (<strong>Blueprint</strong>). Working on this project to help advance interprofessional care in Ontario has<br />
been a rewarding experience.<br />
This document contains the results of months of collaborative, thoughtful discussion and input from<br />
some of the province’s leading experts and decision-makers in the fields of health care and education,<br />
each of whom recognizes the value of interprofessional care to the trans<strong>for</strong>mation agenda, our health<br />
work <strong>for</strong>ce and enhanced quality of care <strong>for</strong> Ontarians.<br />
The recommendations contained in this <strong>Blueprint</strong> focus on the need <strong>for</strong> partnership, integration,<br />
shared responsibility, communication, foundation-building and supporting change. We are confident<br />
that Ontarians will benefit from such a systemic approach to interprofessional care.<br />
Thank you <strong>for</strong> the opportunity to develop this <strong>Blueprint</strong>.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Tom Closson Ivy Oandasan, MD<br />
