This newspaper has spoken with a source inside the hospital, who said an upcoming plan to address backlogged cancer surgeries at The Ottawa Hospital was curtailed because of concerns that nurses would not be available to manage patients. The source, who has direct knowledge of the issue, asked to remain anonymous because of fears of reprisal from hospital management.
The hospital denies the orthopaedic surgery clinic has had any negative impact on cancer or other surgeries, something it is monitoring as part of its agreement with AOAO.
Insiders also say the hospital is being tight-lipped about the private clinic. One medical professional, speaking to this newspaper on the condition of anonymity, said he only learned about it from a newspaper article. Others say they have received limited answers to their questions, according to information seen by this newspaper.Article content
“Is this going to make things worse before it makes things better? Oh yes, 100 per cent. You have a fixed pie of human resources. The nurses might be working Monday to Friday and adding Saturdays for now, but eventually, they will stop working Thursday and Friday and that will have to be backfilled.”Article content
Questions are being raised by some insiders about whether the clinic has the capacity to absorb an additional 10 patients a week without the risk of further delaying surgeries, according to information seen by this newspaper. “The rental agreement includes all services and associated costs provided by TOH. These costs plus charges from AOAO are all accounted for as part of the agreement and the costs are well within the funding envelope.”
Few details of the agreement between the hospital and AOAO have been made public. AOAO says it is supplying its own instruments and equipment but it is unknown how much rent it is paying for the operating space.
