RM&R governance overview

The Resource Matching and Referral (RM&R) Program governance structure is designed to support efficient, informed decision-making while ensuring appropriate stakeholder representation.

Updated in January 2014, the RM&R governance model reflects the evolving needs of the program. It streamlines decisions and ensures effective input on business, technical, and operational matters.

Governance structure

The RM&R governance framework includes four subcommittees and three supporting working groups.

Executive committee

The Executive Committee is the primary decision-making body for the RM&R Program. It includes:

  • Two Ontario Health atHome representatives
  • One Privacy & Security representative
  • Two RM&R representatives
  • Chair of the Business Advisory Council

This composition ensures balanced, informed decisions reflecting stakeholder perspectives.

Business advisory council

The Business Advisory Council provides business and operational guidance and includes representatives from:

  • Acute Care
  • Rehabilitation / Complex Continuing Care
  • Ontario Health atHome

To support alignment, the Council Chair also serves on the Executive Committee.

RM&R User Group

The RM&R User Group represents participating organizations and end users. Site representatives participate where possible, with sector representation for Long-Term Care Homes and Community Support Agencies. The group provides feedback on system use, workflows, reporting, and operational enhancements.

Project steering committees

Project Steering Committees are established as needed for specific initiatives. Comprised of senior subject matter experts, they provide focused guidance and oversight for individual projects.

Working groups

Three working groups provide specialized expertise to support the governance structure:

  • Privacy & Security
  • Reporting & Analytics
  • Technical
