The Restructuring of Institutional Long-Term Care in St. John's: Impact of Supply-Induced Demand on Planning

Abstract

Restructuring of institutional long-term care was undertaken using predictions of future bed need with assumptions made on incidence rates of clients defined by type of disability, survival, and demographic changes. Recent substantial increase in the population rate of clients seeking placement across all degrees of disability, coincident with new facilities for those with modest disability, occurred. Consequently, more appropriate housing and supervised care beds, and more limited downsizing of nursing homes will be required.

Telemedical versus onsite treatment at an orthopaedic university clinic: Study of 280 consecutive patients

“…Although we found no significant constraints or confounders regarding screen size, operating system, type of browser, type of camera, or other variables, we did not assess several other conditions that could affect the quality of telemedical care, such as lighting conditions, internet speed, and so on. Finally, the use of an app prior to admission could generate supply-induced demand, and this may be more harmful than beneficial [ 43 , 44 ] Therefore, the findings of this study are subject to several potential sources of bias that should be noted as limitations.…”
