title: Improving the management of waiting lists for long term care.
abstract: Initially prepared for the South East Local Health Integration Network in Ontario, this literature review focuses on interventions to improve the management of waiting lists for admission to long-term care facilities. The review identified studies relating to four types of interventions: (1) different models for prioritizing patients, (2) ways to improve the accuracy of waiting lists, (3) the use of alternative care settings, and (4) altering the level of home care.
