About the Redevelopment and Expansion Project:
Highlights:
-76 additional acute care beds
-Expanded Cancer Clinic
-Increased number of private patient rooms from 15% toward the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) new design guidelines of 80%
-Expanded Ambulatory Care programs
-New Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
-10 new Operating Rooms
-Expanded medical, surgical and outpatient services
-Associated support space
-Additional above ground parking spots
Why Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital's Redevelopment and Expansion is Critical:
-Buildings and physical plant are approximately 40 years old - same footprint since 1971
-Building no longer meets requirements for best practices for inpatient and Ambulatory Care
-Beds are currently at full capacity - impacts Emergency Department (ED) wait times and patient flow throughout the hospital
-Current inpatient rooms are approximately 220 square feet as compared to new MOHLTC guidelines of up to 300 square feet
-New inpatient rooms will be barrier free to meet the needs of patients with physical disabilities
-Currently 15% of inpatient rooms are private rooms versus 80% in the new MOHLTC design guideline
-To meet infection prevention and control standards, all patient care areas must incorporate isolation capabilities and avoid overcrowding - about 41% of beds are in ward rooms (3-4 beds per room)
Benefits of New Hospital to Burlington Residents and Community:
-Lower wait times for ED, surgery and Diagnostic Imaging
-Increased capacity for Diagnostic Imaging & Laboratory Areas
-State-of-the-art hospital facility with new capacity and service to meet future growth and aging population
-Ability to retain and attract top medical and other health care professionals
-Multi-million dollar project means economic stimulus for local construction trades (250 new hospital based jobs when the first phase opens and 1,200 man years to construct the new facility)
-Improved quality of life, health and well-being for residents
