LTC not staffed or designed to deal with the medical complexity and acuity. 65% of residents have at least 1 transfer to hospital in the last year of life. 21% of LTC residents are transferred to hospital for palliative care: Dr. Amit Arya

It is important that the hospitals have a better understanding what happens in LTC and the work done there: Pat Armstrong #hlcj2020 #longtermcare #covid19

Over 80 LTC reports in Canada with various recommendations, very few actually implemented. Key to moving forward in improving quality of care, government needs to address staffing and models of care: @ashley12677416 #hlcj2020 #longtermcare #covid19

Thoughts on improving standards of medical care in LTC? From point of view for care providers, this is lacking. No mandatory geriatrics rotation. Everyone across health care system should know how to provide the best care possible: @amitaryaMD #hlcj2020 #longtermcare #covid19
