Current research supports the focus on a preventative model enabling individuals to remain in community settings, preventing visits to the emergency departments, or admissions to higher levels of care. An analysis of Alternative Levels of Care (ALC) patients in local hospitals, residents in local LTCFs, and clients in community care settings revealed that as a local system there are significant system capacity issues in this region. It is difficult to ensure individuals are supported or “placed” at “the right time”, in “the right place”, if these settings simply do not exist, or there is a lack of sufficient resources to support individuals with increasingly complex medical needs. The multi-agency Community Advisory Council of NNCCAC and the Interim Strategies to Support Patients in Transition through Hospitals, LTCFs and NNCCAC Committee have collaborated in data collection, analysis, planning forums, and proposal development. This collective work has lead to the submission of this proposal which touches on many components of the local health care continuum. As a first step, the “Low Cost/No Cost” recommendations will be Building a Spectrum of Health Care Options in Nipissing and Northern Sections of Northeast Parry Sound Submission to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care - June 2004 5 pursued by local leaders, in a phased approach, to build system capacity and responsiveness to client needs.
