- W4245887987 abstract "Hospital downsizing in Canada during the 1990s raised public concern over the availability of hospital care, in addition to heightening administrative interest in improving or maximizing hospital utilization. One ongoing concern about hospital utilization is that a disproportionately large share of hospital resources is used by terminally ill and dying people. A research study using 1992/1993–1996/1997 in-patient abstracts data for the province of Alberta, Canada, was undertaken to explore and describe hospital utilization by dying in-patients. This investigation found only 48.2% of all deaths in Alberta over the five years studied involved hospital in-patients. An 18.5% reduction in the number of in-patient deaths and an 83.3% reduction in length of final stay occurred when 50% of acute care beds were closed, which was followed by an increase when beds began reopening — in terms of both the number of in-patient deaths (4.8%) and the average length of stay (2.6%). The ratio of men to women, the average age of dying in-patients, and the intensity of hospital care changed relatively little over those five years. Most in-patients were admitted for nursing care; in 51.3% of all cases, no diagnostic or therapeutic procedures were performed prior to death. These findings indicate hospital bed availability influences admission to hospital and length of stay, but not treatment decisions affecting seriously ill and dying patients. In addition, reduced length of stay appears to have been a widespread response to hospital downsizing, with this change substantially preserving individual access to hospitals." @default.
