Throughout Ontario hospitals some patients are treated in corridors while waiting for a bed to become available. One reason for this predicament is because elsewhere in the hospital patients can’t leave until beds become available in long-term care facilities. If you, or a loved one, have been caught in this complicated quandary, listen to how the Brant Community Healthcare System ‘all hands on deck’ approach aims to get the right patient, in the right bed, at the right time. Learn what goes into getting you a hospital bed. Dr. Rudy Goel, Chief of Hospital-Based Medicine, and Shannon Knelsen, patient flow coordinator, are in the studio.
‘Hospital Insider: The Podcast’ hosted by Gary Chalk tells the stories of the physicians, nurses, patients, donors, and volunteers who make up the Brant Community Healthcare System.
