View
Established in 2005, Critical Care Services Ontario (CCSO) led the implementation of Ontario’s first Critical Care Strategy and now centrally coordinates and develops integrated system solutions for critical care and specialty programs aligned with critical care. CCSO’s work is the result of an ongoing collaboration between critical care providers, hospital administrators, partners from the Ministry of Health and other health system leaders.
CCSO improves access, quality, system integration, and value in the critical care system by partnering with system leaders to identify key priorities and co- develops policy and programs to address system issues.
