Hospital has submitted operating plan to MOH by Jim Brown Wingham and District Hospital • has submitted its 1994-95 operating • plan to the Ministry of Health and is just waiting for its approval, according to chief executive officer Lloyd Koch. • In his report to the board' meeting May 26 he 'saidthat other hospitals from. Huron and Perth Counties 'have also submitted • their operating plans. Koch said the ministry's comments should be received in June. One of the major issues facing the,. hospital in 1994-95 is the recruit- ment of physicians. Koch said a recruitment committee has been appointed to 'attempt and attract more physicians to Wingham. The members of the. committee are Noreen Gnay, Julie Deans, Dr. Brian Hanlon, Dr. Marie Gear, and •Koch. Koch said that Dr. Hanlon and Dr. Gear have already done a tremendous job at trying to attract additional doctors to the area. The committee has not officially met, but when it does it will set the recruitment program. The commit- tee will contact possible physicians on an on-going basis. Koch said• the operating plan also includes renovation of the long-term care and rehabilitation department, health and safety renovations, the establishment of an employment equity plan, completionof the col- lective agreement with the RPNs, creation of a strategic plan, and expansion of cancer clinic services. Property committee chair Chris Dickson said a prclimary drawing for the long-term care and rehabilitation renovations have been received from the architect and circulated to the staff. Changes and adjustments will be noted and -returned. She added it is hoped to apply for a building permit within the next couple' of weeks. Koch noted, in his report, that the number of patients and visits con- tinues to be high, although April is the first month of the fiscal year. To explain questions raised about the changes in major and minor surgery at the April meeting of the board, Koch noted that a memo from chief operating room. nurse Sharon.Skinn explained the criteria for major surgery is any general anaesthetic extending beyond 30 minutes. Minor surgery - includes local anesthetics, regional blocks, and intravenous sedation. The reason for the increase' in minor cases over last year is the .cases done by 'Dr. Michelle Flowers. Cases previously handled in the ER are now more appropriately done in the OR and some cases previously performed under general anaesthetic for more than 30 minutes are being treated as a minor with the, laparoscope. Koch said Canada Health Day was a success in 'May as 437 students from area schools toured the health facility. Up to 50% of cases die •from page 1 signs can include flu-like symptoms that rapidly progress to severe illness. Up to 50 per cent of the cases die, usually in less than 24 hours. "Skin wounds allow the bacteria to get into our bodies," explains McQuigge. "In order to prevent life-threatening conditions like the one described in Britain, treat skin wounds seriously." Wounds should be cleaned well. If the area around the wound becomes discolored and/or extremely painful you should see your doctor at once.
