Such a thoughtful OpED. Yes, the system can be more efficient at discharging patients who are ready to go home - but as Dr Tonelli notes, a simple benchmark isn't going to fix our hospital flow problem. A careful plan that understands the Barriers to discharge and provides the supports to overcome them - would stand a much better chance. Another "solution" that is sure to fail to acheive it's goal... but don't worry, you won't see the findings of this experiment. calgaryherald.com/opinion/letter…

@CaptainDick12 The transition to the new dispatch system has been in the works for decades & wasn't instituted to save money but to improve call triage & response priority. I'm sorry to hear about that cancer patients experience & no fan of current ON govt but your rationale is incorrect.

With ongoing RN layoffs in Ontario, we’re seeing situations where ONE nurse is caring for TEN patients in acute care. It should be one nurse to four patients. This is not sustainable for nurses or patients. Nurses are bearing the brunt of these cuts, but patients pay the price too. We need safe staffing, not more pressure on nurses to do more with less. Are we really going to keep watching this happen and do nothing? #onpoli
