- Abstract
The article discusses the Alternate Level of Care (ALC) in Canada, where patients, though not requiring acute-level inpatient care, occupy a significant portion of acute-care beds. It also mentions that the ALC challenges, leading to inefficient use of resources and substantial financial costs, necessitate a comprehensive approach involving policy changes to optimize acute-care resources, redistribute resources to non-acute care, and enhance community care to alleviate ALC burdens.
