Bed Occupancy An Ongoing Challenge
next
There is a high demand for Sunnybrooks
resources, in particular inpatient beds.
The hospital has a set a target goal of 95 per
cent bed occupancy, also called
Drive to 95.

Drive to 95
next

• Drive to 95 helps to reduce wait times in the
  Emergency Department and ensures that patients
  are discharged from the hospital in a timely
  manner.

• Sunnybrook has taken several steps to help move
  towards a 95 per cent occupancy, including
  developing a new role called Transitional
  Coordinator to help patients and families return
  home as quickly and safely as possible.

Funding Challenges

• The reality is that Ontario is facing an aging
  population, putting financial pressure on
  hospital programs throughout the province.

• Sunnybrook expects that funding increases will
  remain fairly small, if any.

Stepping up to the Challenge
next
An example is our selection as the lead for the
North East Toronto Health Link, which is
improving care for seniors and others with
complex conditions.  
Sunnybrook will continue to seek ways to improve
hospital efficiency in order to maintain its
commitment to the highest quality care.  
Health Links bring together health care providers
in a community to better and more quickly
coordinate care for high-needs patients.

Our Strategic Planning Challenge

Which programs and services can Sunnybrook
continue to provide to achieve its academic
mandate, realize its vision to invent the future
of health care, serve the community and ensure
the hospital's resources are being maximized to
provide care for those who have complex concerns
and who are critically ill and injured?
Through our strategic planning we intend to
resolve the question
