Study on hospital bed usage in Manitoba released
A recent study undertaken by the University of Manitoba’s Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP) has shown that non-acute cases represent the third most common usage of hospital beds in Manitoba.
The study, which amassed data from all 71 hospitals in Manitoba, showed that only medical and surgical cases ranked above non-acute, or “alternate level of care” (ALC) cases, in terms of bed use.
A total of 264 hospital beds are currently occupied by non-acute cases, and, according to the study, most ALC patients are awaiting spots in personal care homes.
