Approach: Quantitative/Matching/Regression
Hospitals face significant challenges during winter due to the seasonal influx of patients with illnesses such as influenza and COVID-19, a phenomenon known as the “Winter Surge”. East Toronto Health Partners, as part of their endeavor to build an integrated care system across care settings, aimed to address this issue by facilitating early discharges and supporting patients’ transitions from hospital to home through a collaborative effort, a program called the Hospital Nice Fund (HNF). This project aimed to conduct an outcome evaluation using quantitative methods. The findings will help inform decision making for future investments in collaborative efforts.
