Evidence brief: creating community-based specialty clinics in Ontario

    Publication year: 2013

    Ontario’s Action Plan for Health Care called for “right care, right time, right place” (p. 10) and specifically for “moving procedures into the community” (p. 13).(1) To support the implementation of this commitment, the ministry of health has taken several steps. The ministry has supported one midwifery-led birth centre in Ontario (on Six Nations of the Grand River territory) and announced in March 2012 plans for two more. The ministry may also announce another type of community-based specialty clinic in the coming months.
