The Wingham and District
Hospital's
NEW AMBULATORY FARE
AND EMERGENCY WIN
In May of this year the Wingham and District Hospital began phase two of the
first major construction and renovation at the hospital in nearly twenty years.
Phase one of the project, completed in the spring of 1982, had expanded the
Labora'iry, Physiotherapy, Admitting, Medical Records and Rehabilitation Ser-
vices departments. Phase two is the construction of a new Ambulatory Care and
Emergency Wing and the expansion of the Radiology Department. Our last arti-
cle described the radiology renovations, this article is devoted to an explanation
or the new wing.
' The way health care is delivered is changing. The cost to maintain a patient in
a hospital bed has been rising steadily and it has become apparent that new, in-
novative ways to provide health care must be found. Adding to the problem is
the increase in our aging population. As one ages, the need for health services
Increases and therefore there is an increase in health costs.
One approach to providing =the maximum health care possible within the
limited dollars available, is to do more things on an out-patient basis. But,
Wingham and District Hospital, as is the case with many other hospitals, was
designed and built for inpatients. Emergency rooms were just that, rooms
designed to deal with the life threatening situations; they were never intended to
provide a proper outpati int ambulatory care service.
The present Emergency/Outpatient Department consists df an operating
room, an examining room capable of taking four stretcher beds separated from
each other by curtains, a very small room where casts are applied to fractures,
and a small waiting room. There is no piacy for patients, accident cases pass
through the waiting room, there is no place for people in grief to sit with their
pastor, no offices for physicians and visiting specialists, and no recovery area
for day -surgery patients.
The new addition will change all this.
One area will be devoted to patients recovering from dal/ surgery. These are
patients who are able to go home following a, surgical procedure. However, one
does not rise from the operating table, dress and get into a car to go home.
Several hours are necessary for the effects of an anaesthetic to wear off and for
the doctors and nurses to ensure that patients have no problems. The day care
recovery area provides space for four beds in which patients will rest until ready
for discharge.
Three offices are being provided for our visiting specialists. This space will be
used try a number of doctors and new specialty services will be added.
A Quiet Room is being provided- in the new addition, where relatives may sit in
privacy with their pastor expressing their grief and receiving comfort and sup-
port.
The emergency entrance is separate and at a distance from the main entrance
and waiting\ room. Victims of accidents and patients with life threatening pro-
blems will no\longer pass in front of the curious eyes of those who are waiting for
treatment. '
Five examining rooms are being provided so that you and your physician can
exchange confidences in private without being overheard' by a patient on a stret-
cher next to you on the other side of a flimsy curtain. Many of us are reluctant to
be completely frank with our physician when we know we may be overheard by
someone else. The relationship between one's doctor and oneself is founded
ori trust and complete confidentiality. The hospital will now be able to guarantee
privacy.
A major trauma room is being provided which will allow the hospital to treat ac-
cident victims and others in life threatening situations, more quickly and effi-
ciently. It will also allow more patients to be treated at the same time.
To complete the new wing, a classroom and a doctor's lounge and library are
included. Part of the hospital's function is to provide education and preventative
medicine to those it serves. The classroom will assist in doing this on a gro`Up
basis. The doctor's lounge provides a place for physicians to rest between
cases, to change clothes, and to study from the library.
The design of the new addition will improve efficiency, but it is much more
than this. It looks to the future and to how the delivery of health care is changing.
The total cost to update the hospital will be approximately $2,000,000 spread
over the next two years. To assist the hospital In paying for these new
developments, a group of prominent citizens have come together as the
Wingham and District Hospital Fund -Raising Committee. Their goal is to raise
$400,000 in the community,
Good health is a partnership between those who provide health care and
those who receive it. We need one another If we' are to reach a common goal of
wellness for us alt. Please, help us to help each other.
