New: Nine Steps to a Health Promoting Integrated Health System

In the Spring of 1998 the Centre for Health Promotion's Working Group on
Integrated Health Systems developed a comprehensive background paper as
part of its strategy for ensuring that health promotion will be an
integral part of Integrated Health Systems(IHS) in Ontario. The main
audience for the background paper is the Ontario Ministry of Health
particularly groups working on the vision, health reform as well as the
policy framework and implementation plan for IHS in Ontario (subject to
Cabinet approval).

The Toronto District Health Council has prepared/funded a synthesis of
this document, Nine Steps to a Health Promoting Integrated System, for
health professionals, organizations, and associations that are
developing positions on, or acting collectively to influence the
development of, IHS in Ontario.

Copies of either paper are available on the Working Group's Web site:
