1) What rehabilitation services should VIHA be
providing to meet the needs
of our population?
2) How should these services be organized so
that the system is streamlined and efficient?
The successful
proponent will work with VIHA to define what a comprehensive continuum of
rehabilitation services for Vancouver Island should look like (i.e. the
services/components that should be included), based on best practices in the
literature and from other jurisdictions, and using population needs data and
staff, physician, and patient/client input to shape the determination of
services.
Rehabilitation services are not organized
into a clear continuum, and are difficult to navigate for patients and care
providers
Patients, staff, and physicians are not clear how/when
to access various rehabilitation services/programs, either because they are
unaware that they exist, do not know the referral process, and/or are unclear
on the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
This results in some patients not receiving the most appropriate
rehabilitation care in a timely way.
It is unclear to what extent VIHA rehabilitation
services are aligned with rehab best practices, from a structural/organization
perspective.
Potential lack of alignment of services
with actual needs of patients and/or gaps in services
It is unclear whether VIHA is currently meeting the
key rehabilitation care needs of our patient populations in the best (i.e.
unclear whether functional outcomes are being optimized) and most sustainable
way.
Potential suboptimal rehabilitation service
efficiency
It is unclear whether VIHA is currently optimizing the
delivery of rehabilitation services, particularly given overlap of criteria for
services and lack of clear referral processes.
Deadline for the submission is November 30, 2012.
