Southwestern Ontario\u2019s largest hospital and the London-area ambulance service are getting ready to let paramedics drop certain patients off in waiting room chairs when no hospital beds are available.<\/span><\/p>\n

Southwestern Ontario\u2019s largest hospital and the London-area ambulance service are\u00a0 getting ready to let paramedics drop certain patients off in waiting room chairs when no hospital beds are available.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pilot project by the Middlesex-London Paramedic Service and the London Health Sciences Centre is meant to stem the chronic problem of offload delays at the city\u2019s emergency rooms, idle hours ambulances spend outside waiting to offload patients when there are no vacant hospital beds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the new protocol, dubbed fit-to-sit, patients deemed well enough to wait in a chair can be dropped off in emergency room waiting areas, freeing up the ambulance crew to attend to other calls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ambulance crews are expected to spend no more than 30 minutes each time they drop off a patient at the emergency room. Any extra time is considered an offload delay. The delays typically happen when there are no beds available for incoming patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the start of 2019, Middlesex-London Paramedic Services ambulances have spent 6,185 hours \u2013 the equivalent of a round-the-clock ambulance crew on the road for 257 days \u2013 marooned outside hospital emergency rooms waiting to drop off patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two groups are preparing to launch a six-month trial of the fit-to-sit program this fall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Details of the program have been developed by a working group of representatives from LHSC and the Middlesex-London Paramedic Services.<\/span><\/p>\n

The group has created criteria paramedics and nurses will use to determine if a patient is able to be offloaded to the waiting room.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team now is working on an education plan for both paramedics and LHSC nurses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Middlesex-London Paramedic Services deputy chief Michael Longeway and LHSC declined to comment on the report until after it\u2019s presented to the Middlesex-London emergency medical services authority board, a Middlesex County council committee, Tuesday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

The concept of offloading eligible patients from ambulances to emergency waiting rooms is not unique to London. Niagara Health and St. Joseph\u2019s Healthcare Hamilton have both adopted similar policies.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the idea that patients arriving by ambulance could be left to wait in a chair instead of a hospital bed doesn\u2019t sit well with one health care critic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a disaster waiting to happen,\u201d said Peter Bergmanis, co-chair of the Ontario Health Coalition\u2019s London chapter.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are not addressing the real problem which is they do not have enough staff or beds in the hospitals to take care of patients. So, let\u2019s just leave them in a chair?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than a Band-Aid solution to place patients in chairs instead of beds, LHSC and the Middlesex-London Paramedic Service should be pushing the province for more long-term, sustainable solutions to the emergency room crunch, Bergmanis said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey know that this is a stop-gap measure,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to condition us to believe that this is okay now. . . . This just hides the failure of the provincial government.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The chronic issue of hospital overcrowding \u2013 and the bottleneck it causes for ambulances at the emergency room \u2013 is a chronic problem at London\u2019s hospitals.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, the ambulance offload bottleneck in London hit a record high. Ambulances spent 10,728 hours on offload delays \u2013 the equivalent to losing a 24-hour ambulance crew for more than 451 days \u2013 a 44 per cent increase from 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, the London-area paramedic service experienced offload delays equivalent to a 24-hour ambulance crew being pulled off the road for 381 days.<\/span><\/p>\n

At times, ambulance crews from neighbouring jurisdictions have been called in to cover for paramedics stuck waiting at emergency rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the region stretching from Elgin County to Tobermory, including London, the rate of people flocking to hospital emergency rooms for medical conditions better managed elsewhere is nearly triple the Ontario average and second-highest of the province\u2019s 14 health super-agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without specifically addressing London\u2019s fit-to-sit program pilot, a spokesperson for Health Minister Christine Elliott said in a statement the province is taking a multi-pronged approach to improving ambulance availability and reducing emergency room overcrowding.<\/span><\/p>\n

The province has earmarked $16.1 million provincewide \u2013 including nearly $700,000 for London and Middlesex \u2013 for dedicated emergency room nurses to care for patients brought by paramedics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry\u2019s investment through the dedicated offload nurses program improves access to care by having patients cared for by a hospital nurse rather than by paramedics in the hallway, and improves ambulance offload time, meaning more ambulances are ready to respond to emergencies,\u201d spokesperson Travis Kann said in an email.<\/span><\/p>\n

The province also is exploring different models of care that would allow paramedics to divert patients in need of non-emergency care to different facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis would include the proposal from the Middlesex-London Paramedic Services to directly divert select mental health and addictions patients to more appropriate, timely care at a nearby Canadian Mental Health Association Middlesex facility,\u201d Kann said in an email.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry has also been in discussion with Middlesex-London Paramedic Services about other new models of care. Conversations are ongoing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
