Psychiatric Care Supply in Ontario: Highlights from the Health Outcomes and Performance Evaluation (HOPE) Team

This presentation highlights the ongoing work of the Health Outcomes and Performance Evaluation (HOPE) team at the Institute for Mental Health Policy Research on the supply of psychiatric care in Ontario. New exploratory analysis investigates the extent to which current levels of psychiatric care are aligned with population need. We also discuss the implications this has for policy-makers and the delivery mental health and addictions services in Ontario.
