2025 | Guidelines & Standards
Critical Care Services Ontario (CCSO), now part of Ontario Health, and The Ministry of Health have updated the Life or Limb Policy (2025). The purpose of the Life or Limb Policy is to facilitate timely access and transfer of patients, who have an episode of time-sensitive, treatable, and critical illness (i.e., are life or limb threatened), to an appropriate level of acute care services for interventions that would improve patient outcomes (loss of life or limb is certain if transfer does not occur within 4 hours).
