The OAC is recognized by the Ontario government and its agencies as an important source of clinical expertise in the public policy development process. Throughout 2017-18, the OAC was called upon to provide clinical experts to assist in the following initiatives led by agencies of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care:

  • Remote Cardiac Monitoring Health Technology Assessment
  • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) Health Technology Assessment
  • Heart Failure Care in the Community Quality Standard

The OAC welcomes these consultation opportunities with the Ontario government to ensure that provincial public policies reflect sound cardiac clinical practice.
