Several local hospitals in southern Ontario are implementing a regional plan to mitigate imaginable accumulation in COVID-19 cases and save you additional cancellations of surgeries and scheduled procedures.
In a set released Tuesday, hospitals in Hamilton, Niagara, Haldimand, Norfolk, Brant and Burlington (HNHNBB region) said the agreed agreement deserves to keep regional hospitals “stable” during any resurgence of cases that allow for the resettlement of patients with coronavirus with “mild to moderate symptoms” requiring hospitalization.
“Hospitals work in combination to balance demand,” said Cheryl Williams, hhS vice president of regional adult care. “Therefore, if there is an accumulation of COVID cases in a component of the formula, we are working in combination with that non-component of the fitness care formula is overwhelmed. “
Williams says the concept is to keep hospitals on the road to the accumulation of long delays because non-essential surgeries were discontinued from mid to March due to the fall of COVID-19 patients.
The plan recognized 4 primary regional hospitals as possible destinations if a local hospital has an area for entry for PATIENTS with COVID-19.
Hamilton General, St. Catharines of Niagara Health, St. Joseph’s in Hamilton and Joseph Brant Hospital are possible destinations for acute cases. Joseph Brant’s Pandemic Response Unit (73 beds) is also part of the package, according to the hospital’s staff leader.
“It was designed to treat patients with the type of symptoms caused by COVID,” said Dr. Ian Preya.
“This is designed in particular to care for this subset of patients. “
Williams says a team will look at the plan’s main operational points in the coming weeks, which will come with a formula for tracking the number of acute cases in each regional hospital.
“In fact, this data will be obtained now,” Williams said. “Surely a procedure will be implemented to track the volumes of other people hospitalized in the region. “
Williams had a precise date for the system to be commissioned.
