Resources

COVID-19 is sparking new demands on Ontario health system leaders – and the surge of need is bigger than traditional communications can carry. There is risk in duplication and gaps in expertise. REAL Resources is our way of curating the disparate information sources reviewed in the development of REAL Notes, and those submitted by others adding to our body of knowledge.

REAL Resources is a common ground for decision makers to find what is working and to see how it works in practice.
