Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Analysis of nursing home utilization and costs in Manitoba for fiscal year 1991/1992.
  • Investigation into whether extended hospital stays (≥60 days) by elderly patients substituted for nursing home beds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the total use and cost of nursing homes in Manitoba.
  • To assess potential substitution effects between long hospital stays and nursing home care for the elderly.
  • To evaluate the equity of access to nursing home care across different regions of Manitoba.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a population-based health information system for data analysis.
  • Examined nursing home residency data for Manitobans aged 75 and older.
  • Analyzed hospital bed utilization for elderly patients with prolonged stays.

Main Results:

  • Over 10% of Manitobans aged 75+ and one-third of those aged 85+ resided in nursing homes during the study period.
  • Nursing home use did not show significant regional disparities, unlike hospital use patterns.
  • A single entry system and population-based planning correlated with equitable access.

Conclusions:

  • Manitoba's nursing home sector demonstrated equitable access across the province.
  • A unified entry system and population-based planning are effective strategies for ensuring equitable elderly care access.
