Grant: Partnerships for Health System Improvement (PHSI)
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (Toronto)
$600,000.00
Health Care Access Research in Developmental Disabilities
FY 2012-13
Summary
The purpose of this partnership is to study the healthcare provided to people with developmental disabilities in Ontario. For most things people with developmental disabilities should receive the same care as people without disabilities. People with developmental disabilities, however, also tend to have a greater risk of certain kinds of health problems. In this project, we want to find out if adults with developmental disabilities are receiving all the care they should. We are also interested in seeing whether through empowering people with developmental disabilities and their caregivers, we can improve their care. Right now the information needed to properly study the health and healthcare provided to people with developmental disabilities is held in many different places. The partners on this project are cooperating to put information together in one place, and to work together to study and improve their care.
