It's not so much a concern, it's that the the veterans integrated services explanation in the document is similar to what we're aware of in Ontario for older adults in general through the community care access centres. I think what's important to note is that it makes it look simple on paper, yet we know from various older adults and veterans we've spoken with that navigating the health care system is not simple, and often they are not aware of which programs are available to them.
At the same time, I think what I was trying to say was that the VIS program should be evaluated to measure if it actually helped with the uptake of a variety of services that were available to veterans and measured which services were being used more than others. You can take a look at the services being used compared to the services veterans are potentially not using, but we know from the research that they are appropriate in improving independence. If you did an analysis of how many veterans are accessing community-based functional mobility programs, I would guess the number would be very low, yet we know these programs and services are very important in helping them maintain their independence. Is it that they don't know about these programs, or is it that they know and they're not taking part in them?
