(November 23, 2023)<\/p>\n

By: Joanna Frketich, The Hamilton Spectator<\/p>\n

The Ontario Health Coalition says the majority of\u00a0Hamilton\u2019s<\/a><\/span>\u00a0operating rooms (OR) are not used on evenings or weekends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The\u00a0advocacy\u00a0group<\/a><\/span>\u00a0claims Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) has at least two ORs that have been permanently shut down and that other operating rooms sometimes close when there isn\u2019t enough staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIn Hamilton, there\u2019s so much unused operating-room capacity while patients are languishing on wait lists,\u201d said Natalie Mehra, executive director of the\u00a0Ontario Health Coalition<\/a><\/span>. \u201cIt\u2019s not being used because they don\u2019t have the staffing and the funding to run them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The coalition is calling on the province, in a\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>released Nov. 2, to expand the use of operating rooms in public hospitals instead of increasing the number of surgeries done privately but paid for by OHIP. In May, the Progressive Conservative government passed\u00a0Bill 60,<\/a><\/span>\u00a0which allows more surgical and diagnostic procedures to be offered at private clinics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no reason whatsoever to pay to rebuild or expand operating rooms in private clinics,\u201d said Mehra. \u201cThere is tons of unused operating room capacity in the local public hospitals that we have all paid to build over decades. They\u2019re sitting there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

HHS did not answer questions about whether it has shutdown operating rooms or provide how many ORs run on evenings and weekends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The hospital network has 14 functioning operating rooms at Hamilton General and is restoring a pre-existing OR to bring that number up to 15. There are also nine operating rooms at Juravinski Hospital, two at Grimsby\u2019s West Lincoln Memorial Hospital, and eight at McMaster Children\u2019s Hospital and McMaster University Medical Centre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

HHS has struggled to get the number of surgeries back to what it was before COVID \u2014 it is currently at 90 per cent of its pre-pandemic surgical volume and doesn\u2019t expect to reach 100 per cent until spring.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis activity can vary on a daily\/weekly basis in response to the availability of physicians and staff, and the availability of inpatient beds,\u201d the hospital network said in a statement. \u201cIncreasing surgical activity is a key priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A major barrier has been unprecedented staff shortages. HHS had\u00a02<\/span>,333 job openings<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in July, including 731 for nurses \u2014 this includes permanent, temporary, casual, full-time and part-time jobs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Surgery has been hit particular hard with an acute shortage of\u00a0perfusionists<\/a><\/span>, who operate heart-and-lung machines. HHS also created a controversial\u00a0unregulated job<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in 2021 to assist in operating rooms because the hospital network didn\u2019t have enough specialized surgical nurses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It has recently recruited\u00a010 anesthesiologists<\/a><\/span>, who will start in the upcoming months, but HHS still needs nurses, perfusionists and other critical perioperative staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The coalition fears these shortages will only get worse as the number of private procedures expand \u2014 despite the Conservative government saying the bill has safeguards to prevent an exodus of staff from hospitals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cPeople think the private clinics are an add-on. But they are, in fact, a take-away because there\u2019s only one set of staff,\u201d said Mehra. \u201cThey take the staff out of the public hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another major issue is funding, as both St. Joseph\u2019s Healthcare and Joseph Brant Hospital (JBH) are doing more surgeries than the province pays them to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

JBH is 12 per cent above its provincially funded surgical activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe are working with the province on funding,\u201d the Burlington hospital said in a statement. \u201cWe will continue to explore opportunities and find new ways to increase access to health care for our patients and community and reduce wait times.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Joseph Brant has nine operating rooms \u2014 one is used on evening and weekends. There is potential for a 10th OR that has not been fully built.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAt the time of redevelopment of the hospital in 2018, JBH built shelled-in space for the purposes of a future 10th OR,\u201d stated the hospital. \u201cThis shelled in space has not been fitted out and is not in service today as a functioning OR.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

St. Joseph\u2019s is performing six per cent more surgeries than it gets funding to do. It has 20 operating rooms \u2014 four at the King Campus and 20 at the Charlton campus, including four dormant ORs that the province recently paid to refurbish. The newly opened operating rooms are not just used by St. Joseph\u2019s surgeons, but also by doctors from across Hamilton, Niagara, Burlington, Brant and Haldimand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis approach is highly innovative and allows for surgeons to provide surgical care at St. Joe\u2019s, thereby reducing the overall wait lists in the entire region,\u201d stated the hospital network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

St. Joseph\u2019s also didn\u2019t answer questions about how many ORs run on evenings and weekends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSt. Joe\u2019s physicians and staff understand the stress and burden patients are facing given COVID-19 pandemic-related surgical delays,\u201d St. Joseph\u2019s said in a statement. \u201cThey have been working diligently to address the significant backlog.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A spokesperson for Health Minister Sylvia Jones says the expansion to OHIP covered procedures in private clinics will allow for 14,000 additional cataract surgeries a year, and 50,000 more hours of MRI and CT scans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe know there will always be those who are opposed to innovation that will deliver more connected and convenient health care to Ontarians,\u201d said spokesperson Hannah Jensen. \u201cOur government is not OK with the status quo.\u201d<\/p>\n
