Health system experts and hospital-worker unions are raising concerns about the lack of transparency related to a controversial arrangement in whichHealth policy lawyers are also questioning whether t
he partnership is violating provincial law, while union leaders say they have unanswered questions regarding patient safety and potential staff poaching.
Late Thursday, TOH provided a statement to the Star on behalf of AOAO that said the new group is made up of 26 orthopedic surgeons and was formed “as a new model of care to help reduce the surgical backlog and provide much-needed care.” “Surgeons are paid by OHIP; we don’t have to form business partnerships and contract with hospitals and hire nursing staff … if that’s happening, that’s irregular,” said Dr. David Urbach, head of the department of surgery at Women’s College Hospital and a health services researcher with an expertise in surgical waits. “This doesn’t sound like the typical operations of a hospital.”
“This is an opportunity for people who have been waiting far too long to get those necessary surgeries to happen in community and in a timely manner,” Jones said. “It is a good-news story and we will continue to invest in those innovative models.” “If we have a nurse who’s working Monday to Friday or doing their 12-hour shifts and now they’re picking up additional work with another employer, they’re burning themselves out even more,” he said.
