Future of hospitals is in chronic care
by Shelley McPhee Haist
Hospitals in the 21st century
won't be all things to all people.
Hospitals that survive' the future
reductions will be medical facilities
that work in close partnership with
other community agencies, accor-
ding to Jim VanCamp, chief
executive officer at Listowel
Memorial Hospital.
VanCamp addressed hospital
workers and trustees at the annual
meeting of the regional Ontario
Hospital Association (ORA) in
London on Sept. 21,
It came as no news to the 150
representatives from some 45
hospitals from Windsor to Wiarton
that the Ontario Health care system
is undergoing significant change.
The impact of major reform and
cuts is being felt at all levels of
health care services, from the
largest faculty of medicines to the
smallest hospitals, from medical
institutions to community health
agencies.
"The status quo is no longer
viable" Van Camp said.
Still, VanCamp believes that
small hospitals can be leaders in
providing health care services in the
21st century.
Chronic care is the future..
VanCamp noted that . the
population profile is moving from a
pyramid shape where younger
people form the base, to a rectan-
gular shape with a great balance
between the age groups.
"Our health system and social
service system must change. There
will be a higher incidence of age
related disabilities," VanCamp said.
I"The longer people stay in .their
hpme and in their communities, the
more acute their needs v -ill be when
they require hospital care."
He said that the change is already
taking place in small hospitals. One
third of the beds in small hospitals,
(1,300 out of 3,875) are chronic
care beds, and that number of beds
increased by seven' per cent bet-
ween 1988 and 1991.
VanCamp said that 'in a recent
OI -IA study of small hospitals,
many chief executive officers of
small hospitals described the role of
their facility as being the central
provider of chronic care services in
the community.

hospitals offer a range of long term
and chronic care services.
In hospitals with less than 49
beds, patients 65 years of age and
older account for the use of 53 per
cent of the resources in hospitals,
less than 49 beds, and 49 per cent
in 50 to 99 beds.
VanCamp noted that one of the
trends in health care is long term
care reform which proposes health
and social service restructuring, and
would allow people to live in their
homes longer.
"It should be recognized and
acknowledged by the government
that in many cases that this differs
institutionalized care rather than
avoiding it. When people are finally
admitted to hospital their needs .are
more acute," VanCamp said.
He admitted that small, rural
hospitals are facing difficult limes
and need to make changes to ensure
their viability. He spoke about the
shortage of physicians and
specialists as a "perennial problem"
for small hospitals.
"Small hospitals face chronic
shortages of trained staff to deal
w ith emergency sery ices, obstetrics,
aenthesia and general surgery," he
noted. .
He suggested that the survival of
. small hospitals is contingent on
their ability to work in partnership
with community health and
rehabilitation programs, as Well as
taking on a greater role in chronic
and long term care servicing.
He said that long term care
reform has been attempting to
simplify access, offer information,
reduce duplication of services and
administration costs and ultimately
to provide better long term care
services.
"One of the' flaws of the tong
term care reform committee has
been the ongoing reluctance to.
acknowledge the ongoing 'role of
hospitals.
"There has been a persistent
mindset that anything to do with
hospitals or institutions is bad and
anything described as community
based is good."
He added, "this ignores the role
that some hospitals, particularly
small ones, already play in
providing integrated co-ordinated
care. It also excludes them from
playing a more significant role,
even when the role is appropriate
and desired by the community."
VanCamp noted that some small
hospitals offer senior day programs,
transportation services, integrated
palliative care, supportive housing,
nursing home, Meals on Wheels,
Lifeline programs, ' placement
programs and multi-level care
facilities.
He suggested that hospitals should
find additional ways to further
stabilize their future as community
players in health care.
•
"A small hospital should be able
to be a multi -service agency, that
can provide a variety of health,
medical and social services," Van -
Camp said.
The
Aging
Population
❑ In 1986 the average life ex-
pectancy was 73 years for men
and 79.8 for women.
❑ In 2011 it is projectedthat the
life expectancy age for men will,
be 77.2 years and 84 years for
women.
❑ In 1881, four per cent of
Canada's population was over
the age of 65. In 1981, 11.2 per
cent of the population was. over
65 and those individuals ac-
counted for 40per cent of health
care expenditures.
❑ By 2036 when Baby Boomers
are over 65 years of age they
will make up 213 per cent of the
population.
