Why is the government doing web-based public reporting on Long-Term Care (LTC) homes?

The government made a commitment to protect residents and improve the quality of life in LTC homes. Public reporting of LTC homes is an important part of the reform of LTC homes because it will strengthen public accountability and transparency. Other health sectors in Ontario already have public reporting; for example, hospitals have the annual Hospital Report. This first stage of public reporting makes information about LTC homes available on the public website of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The goal is to provide everyone with accessible information about these homes.
