The Bill7, More Beds, Better Care Act amends the Fixing Long-Term Care Act, 2021 to add a new provision for patients who occupy a bed in a public hospital and are designated by an attending clinician as requiring an alternate level of care. This new provision authorizes certain actions to be carried out without the consent of these patients. The actions include having a placement co-ordinator determine the patient’s eligibility for a long-term care home, select a home and authorize their admission to the home. They also include having certain persons conduct assessments for the purpose of determining a patient’s eligibility, requiring the licensee to admit the patient to the home when certain conditions have been met and allowing persons to collect, use and disclose personal health information, if it is necessary to carry out the actions.
The OCO is sharing the experience of family caregivers who support a family member, friend or neighbour. As always, we encourage caregivers to share their feedback related to this legislation. The OCO will continue to share your voice and insights with government and collaborate with system partners on solutions.
