Overview of RTC rollout in Saskatchewan. Figure 1 provides an overview of the roll-out strategy for RTC implementation in Saskatchewan. 12 demonstration units implemented RTC starting in September 2008 and September 2009. Following this, the government mandated that all medical and surgical units in Saskatchewan hospitals implement RTC. 14 units began implementing RTC in wave 1 starting in September 2010. 11 units started implementing RTC in wave 2 in January 2011 and 9 units began in wave 3 in September 2011. These 34 units were part of the provincial RTC evaluation that was conducted alongside the government-mandated initiative. 8 of the 34 units were selected to be part of the qualitative study. Information on all 8 units is included in this manuscript but the focus is on 2 units – unit B, which started in wave 1 in September 2010 and unit E, which started in wave 2 in January 2011.
