AFTER-HOURS CALL GROUP

In 2017, the Victoria-South Island After Hours Call Group was developed to support physicians in meeting the LTCI's Best Practice Expectation (BPE) of 24/7 physician coverage and on-site attendance when required for all long-term care residents. LTCI physician members provide after-hours coverage for 100% of residents in Victoria-South Island long-term care homes (approximately 3400 beds), with separate call groups for Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula, and Sooke.
