There is ongoing concern that acute care beds in Canada are occupied by seniors who are waiting to be discharged to a more appropriate level of care.

In this study, the authors examined the characteristics of patients transitioning from acute care to home care or residential care. Copyright © 2013 Longwoods Publishing.
