Comprehensive redesign of a rehabilitation program at Runnymede Healthcare Centre
The redesign of the rehabilitation program at Runnymede Healthcare Centre (RHC) was designed to enhance patient care, staff satisfaction, and rehabilitation capacity. Aligned with RHC's strategic vision to become a centre of excellence for ageing and wellness, the initiative introduced a range of initiatives such as group therapy models, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound rehabilitation goals, and enhanced leadership practices under the healthy engagement of older adults in rehabilitation therapy philosophy. Evaluation was integral to the initiative, with patient satisfaction, staff engagement, and key performance indicators continuously measured. Patient satisfaction scores, operational efficiency metrics, and staff engagement scores improved considerably. This project exemplifies how structured change management and embedded evaluation can lead to sustained improvements in patient care, staff experience, and rehabilitation outcomes.
