System Evaluation
System Evaluation
The RCA’s Rehabilitative Care System Evaluation Framework and annual rehabilitative care system performance report provide a standardized approach to evaluating system performance across the rehabilitative care continuum. Together, with the system performance dashboard, they:
- define quality rehabilitative care using 15 performance indicators
- establish provincial benchmarks for rehabilitative care system indicators in three priority areas
- provide regions with information to assess their performance against each other and against provincial benchmarks
- help regions focus their efforts to improve quality and flow
- support evidence-based practice and system-wide improvement.
The RCA continues to support Ontario Health Teams and regional and provincial partners in quality improvement initiatives.
