description The article discusses innovations in integrating Long-Term Care (LTC) and acute systems, focusing on Humber River Health's (HRH) model. Older adults in LTC homes are vulnerable to avoidable Emergency Department (ED) visits due to frailty and medical complexity. HRH developed an integrated care model centred on LTC Remote Monitoring (RM) with LTC partners, leveraging nurse-led care models, digital tools, and virtual care hub to reduce avoidable ED transfers. Key components include the PREVIEW-ED© tool for early detection of clinical deterioration, LTC+ Hub and LTC++ Diagnostic Imaging and Transportation, supporting improved access to healthcare services. The program aligns with the Quintuple Aim, emphasizing patient and provider experiences, population health, cost reduction, and health equity. Results show significant reductions in ED visits, hospital lengths of stay, and associated costs, while enhancing resident and provider experiences. The LTC RM model is positioned as a scalable solution for system transformation in integrated care.
