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 14 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.

The RCA’s annual rehabilitative care system performance report is available to health service providers by contacting info@rehabcarealliance.ca.
