This scan summarizes key trends, strengths, and gaps across EDIAR resources. It highlights common themes, implementation practices, and emerging insights to help inform future tools, learning, and organizational approaches that support equitable and inclusive care.

The Ottawa West Four Rivers 2024–2025 Winning Strategies Report outlines the priorities and strategic actions guiding the work of the Ontario Health Team.

Recognizing that health is much more than health care, this evidence-based framework outlines eight principles to shift the focus from managing illness to creating wellness — including income, education, housing, and other non-medical factors that shape people's health.

Designed to accompany the framework, this guide provides actionable tools, resources, and real-world examples to drive a paradigm shift in care planning. It reflects collective feedback from health and social care partners and offers tangible steps organizations can begin applying immediately to address the social needs of the people they serve.
