Patients have no right to review or appeal the decisions made by the hospital, the organizations say.There are about 5,700 so-called ALC patients in hospitals across Ontario, but only about a third of those patients have been designated to go to a long-term care home.
The attorney general’s office declined to comment, saying it would be inappropriate with the case before the court. The bill deprives patients of their right to privacy “by allowing any placement coordinator or clinician to access and share an ALC’s personal health information with any number of homes to which admission is being sought and with other care providers as well,” the suit alleges.
