Regional Geriatric Program of Eastern Ontario

What Regional Geriatric Program of Eastern Ontario does

Regional Geriatric Program of Eastern Ontario (RGPEO) is a publicly funded regional healthcare network headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, established in 1985 as Ontario's first health network dedicated to seniors' care. RGPEO coordinates specialized geriatric services for community-dwelling adults aged 65 and older across the Eastern Ontario/Champlain region, operating through a centralized referral hub (Central Intake for Specialized Geriatric Services) that triages incoming patients and routes them to the appropriate service line. Its delivery network comprises 20+ partner hospitals and healthcare organizations, including core partners The Ottawa Hospital, Bruyère Health, Hôpital Montfort, Queensway Carleton Hospital, Royal Ottawa Health Care Group, and the Champlain LHIN, supported by secondary and minor partners extending into Cornwall, Pembroke, Renfrew, Hawkesbury, and other Eastern Ontario communities.

RGPEO's portfolio spans clinical and educational offerings. Clinical services include Geriatric Assessment Outreach Teams (GAOT) for in-home assessment, Geriatric Clinics and Day Hospitals for outpatient multidisciplinary workups, GeriMedRisk for virtual province-wide medication consultation, the Geriatric Emergency Management (GEM) nursing program deployed across 9 hospital EDs, Nurse Led Outreach Teams (NLOT) supporting long-term care homes, and Geriatric Psychiatry Services. All clinical work is structured around the Geriatric 5Ms© framework (Mind, Mobility, Medications, Multi-complexity, Matters Most), a person-centered methodology co-branded across RGPEO's resource library, training, and partner delivery. Educational offerings include the semi-annual Geriatric Education Series, monthly Regional Rounds broadcast virtually from The Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus, and the 'Aging Well' public video series on dementia, delirium, falls prevention, and hospital transitions.

RGPEO operates as a non-revenue-generating public healthcare program under Ontario's publicly funded health system. Services are delivered at no direct cost to patients holding valid Ontario Health Cards; funding flows from provincial healthcare allocations and regional health authority (Champlain LHIN) partnerships. The program has 11-50 staff and operates bilingually (English/French). Its go-to-market motion is referral-driven rather than sales-led: primary care providers, other healthcare professionals, family members, and self-referring patients contact Central Intake via phone, fax, or online form. Given this funding structure and statutory role, RGPEO is not a candidate for conventional venture or buyout investment; the relevant strategic analogues are regional health-system network operators and integrated care delivery organizations.

Core offering

RGPEO is a publicly funded regional healthcare network that provides specialized geriatric assessment, treatment, and care coordination services to community-dwelling older adults aged 65 and older across Eastern Ontario. Its core offering is a Central Intake for Specialized Geriatric Services that triages referrals and directs patients to a portfolio of interconnected clinical programs including in-home outreach assessments, outpatient day hospitals, emergency department support, long-term care outreach, virtual medication consultations, and geriatric psychiatry services. All service delivery is organized under the Geriatric 5Ms© framework and supported by education, research, and knowledge translation programs.

Product overview

The Regional Geriatric Program of Eastern Ontario operates as a network of specialized healthcare services rather than a single product. The core offering consists of Central Intake for Specialized Geriatric Services, which serves as the centralized referral hub directing patients to multiple interconnected programs including: Geriatric Assessment Outreach Teams (GAOT) for in-home assessments; Geriatric Clinics and Day Hospitals for outpatient multidisciplinary care; GeriMedRisk for virtual medication consultations; Montfort Geriatric Services for bilingual care; Geriatric Emergency Management (GEM) for emergency department support; Nurse Led Outreach Teams (NLOT) for long-term care support; and Geriatric Psychiatry Services for mental health needs. Supporting these clinical services are educational offerings including the Geriatric Education Series (semi-annual two-day virtual course), RGPEO Regional Rounds (monthly educational sessions), and the Aging Well video series. The Geriatric 5Ms framework (Mind, Mobility, Medications, Multi-complexity, Matters Most) guides all service delivery across the portfolio.
