This article is based on a study that investigated factors associated with long-term care wait list placement in Ontario, Canada. We based the study's analysis on Resident Assessment Instrument for Home Care (RAI-HC) data for 2014 in the North West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). Our analysis quantified the contribution of three factors on the likelihood of wait list placement: (1) care recipient, (2) informal caregiver, and (3) formal system. We find that all three factors are significantly related to wait list placement. The results of this analysis could have implications for policies aimed at reducing the number of wait-listed individuals in the community.
本文基于一项对加拿大安大略省长期护理等候名单安置相关因素的研究。我们的研究分析基于西北地方卫生整合网络（LHIN）2014年家庭护理居民评估工具（RAI-HC）的数据。我们的分析量化了三个因素对等候名单安置可能性的影响：（1）护理接受者，（2）非正式护理者，以及（3）正式系统。我们发现所有这三个因素都与等候名单安置显著相关。该分析结果可能会对旨在减少社区中等候名单上人数的政策产生影响。
