FAQQ. What types of patients does the Toronto ABI Network accept referrals for? The Toronto ABI Network only accepts referrals for individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI). Q. Which publicly-funded organizations provide services for individuals with acquired brain injury? The Toronto ABI Network’s Descriptions of Program/Services of Member Organizations provides an overview of publicly-funded organizations providing ABI services in the Greater Toronto Area. Q. Which application form do I complete? Choose the referral form appropriate to the type of service that the person with the brain injury needs:
Q. How do I make a referral for inpatient ABI rehabilitation? Complete the Inpatient Rehab Referral Form and fax it to the Toronto ABI Network office at 416-597-7021. You may wish to review the general admission criteria that apply to these programs. Q. How do I make a referral for ambulatory care or outpatient ABI rehabilitation services? Complete the ABI Community Profile and fax it to the Toronto ABI Network office at 416-597-7021. Q. How do I make a referral for a community-based ABI program or service? Complete the ABI Community Profile and fax it to the Toronto ABI Network office at 416-597-7021. Q. I have an ABI, or I am a family member of someone who has a brain injury. Can I make a referral myself or do I have to have a doctor make a referral for me? This depends on the type of service requested. Referrals to inpatient and outpatient/ambulatory programs must be made by a doctor. Anyone may request a referral for a community-based ABI program (e.g., community care access centres, Cota, CHIRS, etc.) unless there is a specific doctors’ order involved. If a family member is making the referral, she/he must complete the ABI Community Profile.
