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 />
