Evidence brief: creating community-based specialty clinics in Ontario
Ano de publicação: 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.
