Win hhospital board
g
survives exhilarating year
by Jim Brown
A lot happened at the Wingham
and District Hospital during 1993-
94.
Wingham and District Hospital
Board chair Doug Fortune told the
board's annual meeting last
Thursday that the past year was one
of frustration and satisfaction.
Hospital chief executive officer
Lloyd Koch described 1993-94 as
an exhilarating year.
"We moved through the doldrums
of the social contract legislation re-
iterated many times over, through
an accreditation review in Septem-
ber that gave us a three-year award,
into the opening of our heliport, the
conclusion of an agreement with
Conestoga College to continue to
operate our Nursing Assistant
School, and the signing of an af-
filiation agreement with University
of Western Ontario," said Koch in
his second annual report.
He said it was indeed a year that
needed an extraordinary effort from
staff and board alike, and was
pleased with the way everyone rose
to the challenge and .created these
achievements.
"We worked against a backdrop
of . a threatened walkout by the
general practitioners in the emer-
gency department here and el-
sewhere in Huron County, a major
cut in our operating budget due to
the Social Contract, and a pay
equity process that defied logic,"
said Koch.
Chair Fortune said the past year
was one of frustrations and satisfac-
tion. He noted that a good deal, of
the board's time was spent on is-'
sues forced upon the board such as
the social contract, pay equity and •
emergency room coverage.
"As a result, the timing for some
other projects, such as developing a
strategic plan for our hospital, Kaye
been later than anticipated," said
Fortune. '
Some of the positives included
the continuing operation of the
RNA school, in conjunction with
Conestoga College: the opening of
the heliport; and being awarded a
three-year accreditation.
"Without the hard work and
cooperation of all hospital and
medical staff, these highlights could
not have been achieved," said.For-
tune. .
He noted that the 1poard has spent
a lot of time . working with the
medical staff to findsolutions to
enable the emergency department to
remain open atall times. Since this
is an issue in many hospitals
throughout the province, the board
feels the provincial government.
should be taking a leading role in
finding a solution, however, to this
date, this has not happened.
"We were saddened with the
deaths of Dr.. Walter Wong and
Isabel Wheeler," said Fortune.
"Their contributions to the hospital,
board,. and community will be
sorely missed."
He said the coming year will
continue to provide new challenges
for the board. It has become very
evident, that the provision of health
care is"Ontario will under go many
changes in the near future.
"We must all continue to be
aware of the needs of our com-
munity and strive to meet than " he
said.
• Koch said the medical staff did an
excellent job preparing for ac-
creditation, and supported the
implementation of echocardiography
and Holter Monitor scanning this
year.
"These two services have en-
hanced our capability to diagnose
and treat heart and stroke victims
locally," he said.
The hospital's continuous quality
improvement (COI) program iden-
tified two projects that will be
examined by an inter -disciplinary
team of hospital staff. Koch added
that planning continues for the
renovation of the long term care
unit to create a sunroom and deck
for patient activities.
"We also have a health and safety
upgrade project before the Ministry
of Health for approval," said Koch.
He stated that these issues, and
