Improvement Journey

Working together…for healthy people in healthy communities.

Siloed approach to Children’s Therapy

• Families were accessing a variety of supports with limited coordination among service providers.

• Each discipline working with the family had its own operational procedures.

• Families were affected by inefficient and inconsistent processes.

Wait Time for Service

• The window of opportunity to help children and families is very small; too much time was spent on a waiting list.

Access to Service

• Families indicated travel to clinic as a barrier to therapy services.
