6 Access to Care A provincial process to improve access to services in the health care system The South West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN)and the organizations within the LHIN are undertaking a review of a variety of services and programs to improve access to care for patients: The number of Complex Continuing Care beds, the location, and how they are used The number of Rehabilitation Beds, the location, and how they are used How stroke patients are managed in our LHIN and the practices that are used to support patients to have the best outcomes Community services available, the location, and how they are used We are also implementing Home first in an effort to ensure that patients have the opportunity to make life changing decision (placement in LTC) Development of standards of care that are based on evidence

7 Changes at WDH Complex Continuing Care (CCC) In 2015/2016 the number of CCC beds will be reduced from 12 to 5 These are unoccupied beds therefore no impact to patients Patients will be assessed by Community Care Access Centre to determine eligibility for CCC beds (patient s waiting for Long Term Care will not be eligible) CCC beds will become part of the system meaning patients throughout the LHIN can access the beds if they are eligible We will need to maintain a 93% occupancy rate We will review and improve our program for patients with an emphasis on therapy services

8 Changes at WDH In Patient Rehabilitation Beds There is no change to the number of Rehabilitation beds, they will remain at 5 Patients will be assessed by Community Care Access Centre to determine eligibility for Rehab beds Rehab beds will become part of the system meaning patients throughout the LHIN can access the beds if they are eligible We will need to maintain an occupancy rate of 87% Rehab will focus on general rehab. In the future, stroke patients will be managed at a District Stroke Centre (Please note this is still in the planning stages when more information is available it will be shared) We will review and improve our program for patients with an emphasis on therapy services
