Georgetown Hospital is being recognized for significantly reducing wait times and improving patient care in its emergency room. The hospital will receive $611,100 in performance funding as part of the McGuinty government's Pay-for-Results program. The funding will be used to share best practices with other hospitals to help them improve their emergency room performance and to take steps to further improve ER wait times. Over the past year the hospital saw a 32 per cent improvement in its emergency wait times so that today 84 per cent of all patients requiring admission to the hospital are admitted within the Ministry's target of eight hours. In 2008, wait time data showed patients at Georgetown Hospital with complex conditions waited 6.9 hours in the emergency room for treatment, compared to 4.7 hours today. In 2008, patients with minor or uncomplicated conditions spent 4.1 hours in the emergency room for treatment, while today it's 3.4 hours. "Georgetown Hospital took real and meaningful steps to drive down ER wait times and improve the patient experience," said Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. The hospital was able to make the improvements by: · introducing additional inpatient capacity to respond to peaks in demand for service · fast-tracking assessments and treatments as patients arrive in the ER to reduce admissions and time spent waiting · using new specialized staff to move patients through the ER more quickly and free up doctors for more urgent cases. "Georgetown Hospital's success is a direct reflection of the staff from all parts of the hospital working together to improve the flow of patients through the Emergency Room," said John Oliver, President and CEO, Halton Healthcare Services. "From Diagnostic Imaging to Housekeeping and Laboratory to the Inpatient Units, everyone worked together to effect this change. All the staff at Georgetown Hospital should be congratulated on this achievement." John Magill, Mississauga Halton LHIN Board Chair, said "sharing our knowledge and working together" is one of the key strategies the Mississauga Halton LHIN has adopted to help improve the delivery of all aspects of healthcare in the LHIN.
