ONTARIO Hospitals not discharging patients on time, delays in ERs

ONTARIO Hospitals not discharging patients on time, delays in ERs: watchdog

TORONTO - Many Ontario patients aren't discharged from hospital on time and are still facing overcrowding and delays in emergency departments despite extra government cash, the province's financial watchdog said Monday.

More than 50,000 patients stayed in hospital longer than necessary last year because their ongoing care couldn't be arranged, auditor general Jim McCarter said in his annual report.

About one in five patients require support when they leave the hospital, from home care to rehabilitation to nursing-home care, he said.

About half the patients who needed home care had to wait in hospital an average of six extra days, while 90 per cent of those who needed long-term care waited more than four months.

McCarter found that those patients end up occupying much-needed beds that could help alleviate the long waits in hospital emergency departments.

Many ERs still aren't meeting provincial targets for wait times, despite $200 million in extra funding over two years, he said in his report. Wait times for patients with serious conditions reached 12 hours or more - far off the province's eight-hour target.

ONTARIO ERs not meeting wait-time targets

A new report by Ontario's auditor general finds that the province's hospital emergency rooms aren't meeting targets for wait times despite $200 million in extra funding over the past two years.

In the report released Monday, Jim McCarter said that ER woes are linked to problems elsewhere in the hospital system.

Because care couldn't be arranged for hospital patients awaiting discharge, more than 50,000 patients were kept in hospital longer than necessary, he said.
