Capacity Planning
Introducing standardized planning for future need
The RCA's Capacity Planning Framework supports a standardized approach to planning and organizing rehabilitative care at the provincial and regional level.
When applied, the new approach provides health care planners and providers with a better understanding of regional need for rehabilitative care services now and in the future. It also supports equitable access to rehabilitative care across the province.
The RCA is working with LHINs across Ontario to apply the framework. A more detailed list of activities for all RCA initiatives can be found here.
