Creating a sustainable future for the
organization and those we serve
2Our Challenges
Chapter Seven
3Bed 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.
4Drive 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.
5Funding Challenges

Daily Acute Care Hospital Occupancy
Despite our efforts our in patient bed capacity
is often in excess of 100
6Funding Challenges
next
- 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.
7Stepping 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.
8Our Strategic Planning Challenge
next
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
