Hospital Report 2005 Rehabilitation Public Release Details

For the Attention of Hospital CEOs, OHA Board of Directors and CACN Members

From Hilary Short, President and CEO

As a follow-up to the announcement in the July 14th issue of Executive Report regarding Hospital Report 2005: Rehabilitation, the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) has been notified by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) that the public release of the Report will take place on Wednesday, July 20th at 10:00 a.m. At that time, the MOHLTC, CIHI and the OHA will post the news release/backgrounder announcing the Report and its results on their websites, along with the Rehabilitation Report itself. Following the public release, the Report will no longer be under embargo, and hospitals may share the results of the Report with stakeholders, and other external contacts.

To help communicators prepare for the release, a toolkit of resources (Q & A documents and key messages) was sent to hospitals on July 8, 2005.

For any questions regarding the toolkit, or the public release of the Rehabilitation Report, please contact Cara Francis, Public Affairs Specialist at (416) 205-1371.
