negative downstream impacts resulting in<br />

some cancelled surgery <strong>and</strong> a resulting<br />

loss of revenue. There continues to be<br />

no closure to trauma.<br />

<strong>Sunnybrook</strong> is also continuing to<br />

experience cost pressures in relation to<br />

its aged infrastructure. In <strong>2014</strong>-<strong>15</strong> the<br />

Ministry of Health <strong>and</strong> Long Term Care<br />

(Ministry) has significantly increased<br />

its focus <strong>and</strong> funding for hospital<br />

infrastructure renewal <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sunnybrook</strong><br />

used these funds to invest in a number<br />

of high risk areas including: emergency<br />

generator plant upgrade, roofing <strong>and</strong><br />

building envelope repairs, elevator<br />

renewals <strong>and</strong> asbestos removal, Despite<br />

this investment, maintenance costs<br />

continue to increase <strong>and</strong> create additional<br />

cost pressures for the organization.<br />

<strong>Sunnybrook</strong> continues to advocate for<br />

further increases by the Ministry in the<br />

Hospital Infrastructure Renewal Fund.<br />

Health System Funding Reform (HSFR)<br />

continues to be rolled-out by the Ministry,<br />

<strong>and</strong> in March 20<strong>15</strong> the Ministry provided<br />

Health Based Allocation Methodology<br />

(HBAM) results for the Province. An indepth<br />

review confirms that <strong>Sunnybrook</strong><br />

continues to be a best quartile performer<br />

amongst our peer group <strong>and</strong> that overall<br />

many more organizations are reflecting as<br />

efficient. With respect to Quality Based<br />

Procedures (QBPs), <strong>Sunnybrook</strong> remains<br />

focused on providing high quality care,<br />

utilizing best clinical practices, in order to<br />

ensure we provide such care in the most<br />

effective <strong>and</strong> efficient manner.<br />

The chart below reflects how <strong>Sunnybrook</strong><br />

has used the resources entrusted to it to<br />

provide patient care <strong>and</strong> in particular that<br />

the vast majority of funds are used for<br />

direct patient care. <strong>Sunnybrook</strong>’s overall<br />

efficiency is further evidenced by less than<br />

9% of total expenses being incurred in<br />
