It would take very little for Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) to become overwhelmed with COVID inpatients should those with serious infections increase and require hospitalization.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Both the Bracebridge and Huntsville hospital sites are already often at or over overcapacity. According to Vickie Kaminski, interim MAHC president and CEO, on January 27 Huntsville hospital was at 98 per cent capacity while the Bracebridge hospital site was 104 per cent overcapacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are not only living longer, said Kaminski, but the services they require are not readily available which means many\u201410 to 20 patients at each hospital site\u2014will take up acute-care beds until the service they need becomes available.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo we have a number of alternate care patients and those, I\u2019m sure you know, are people that no longer need acute care, but they need some form of care that prevents them from just being able to go home independently. So, they\u2019re waiting for that kind of service. It could be a long-term care bed; it could be homemaking services in their home. It could be assisted living. It could be rehabilitation services that are in pretty high demand\u2014so it could be any one of a number of things,\u201d she explained. \u201cThat means then that patients waiting to be admitted into those acute care beds get backed up into emerg and they can sit for a day or so waiting for a bed and that puts or occupancy rate over the 100 per cent,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both hospital sites serve a population of approximately 60,000 residents in Muskoka and East Parry Sound, not including seasonal influx. Yet between both hospital sites MAHC has a capacity of just 101 inpatient beds. The province, due to the pandemic, allowed MAHC to open an additional 15 beds, bringing the MAHC inpatient bed count to 116.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo we can actually go up to 116, and we\u2019re able to do that, so that\u2019s part and parcel of how we manage with that capacity,\u201d she explained. \u201cThe other thing that the province is doing is they\u2019ve made a really concerted effort across the province to use all of the community care and all of the long-term care resources, so some communities have more of that available, and what they\u2019re saying to us now is they\u2019re going to help us move patients to the resource so that we can free up beds inside systems [that are] sort of log jammed, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaminski said MAHC has been able to access inpatient beds at the regional Pandemic Response Unit (PRU) in Barrie. The field hospital was approved for 70 beds to act as a regional resource, should area hospitals face crippling capacity challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019ve ever fully opened all those beds because they couldn\u2019t find staffing for them, but we have been able to access PRU beds over the last year or so, on occasion,\u201d said Kaminski, adding that patients have also been transferred to other facilities outside of the community such as the St. John\u2019s Rehab Hospital in Toronto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOrillia has been working very closely with us as well,” noted Kaminski. “They were able to do some work with their assisted living providers and so they got additional beds opened up and staffed and so we\u2019ve been able to move\u2026 a handful of patients,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, the reintroduction of provincial mandates such as halting all non-urgent and non-emergent surgery procedures and diagnostic imaging to create surge capacity in the system is exacerbating the backlog for non-urgent procedures. \u201cWe knew that that would add to the backlog. So, we\u2019re making sure that we get urgent and emergent [procedures] done, and we\u2019re just crossing our fingers that we\u2019ll be able to get back into regular procedures soon,\u201d said Kaminski. \u201cCertainly, the province has indicated that we\u2019d be in this position at least until the end of January, so we\u2019re waiting to hear where we go from here. But the backlog does grow when you do that, so we are keeping an eye on it and we\u2019re looking at ways and means\u2014if there are any available to us, that we\u2019ll be able to take a bite out of that backlog once we get back into doing regular procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per provincial mandates blanketing all hospitals regardless of their unique situation, and what hospital CEOs are saying, Kaminiski had this to say: \u201cWe have had conversations as CEOs about the ability to do procedures. So lots of ours are outpatients. I mean really and truly the diagnostic imaging and the surgery that we do here doesn\u2019t necessarily take up inpatient beds, so conceivably we could\u2019ve done a few of those things during this round,\u201d she said of the last COVID wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But she said being able to move people around the system requires that all the different parts work in unison. \u201cSo it was meant to level the playing field and to say we\u2019re all going to be disadvantaged and we will work as a system to recover once we\u2019re out of this current phase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 27, there were 14 COVID-positive patients at both hospital sites equally split between the two with one patient in the Bracebridge Intensive Care Unit (ICU). \u201cSo it is a very different look this time around. So patients are sick, they\u2019re not requiring ICU but they do require hospitalization, and they\u2019re getting better faster, so they\u2019re not here as long as they were in the first three phases [of COVID],\u201d said Kaminski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked what her biggest concern is moving forward during this pandemic, Kaminski said it was hospital staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI guess it\u2019s keeping staff motivated and just giving them that light at the end of the tunnel because they\u2019ve been with us all through this and it has been tough. I mean they\u2019re working differently now. When I came to do this contract I found out I had to wear a mask when I come in the hospital. I should\u2019ve thought of that, but I\u2019ve never had to wear a mask for long periods of time\u2026 not a seven-hour, 12-hour shift. You can imagine our staff who are in protective equipment and wearing masks, they\u2019re doing an extra shift because we\u2019re short-staffed. I worry about the staff, that\u2019s my biggest concern. I\u2019m afraid we\u2019re going to see an exodus of people as this starts to ease off they might think: \u2018I\u2019m getting out of here before it happens again,\u2019\u201d said Kaminski. And the exodus may get worse as a vaccination mandate for MAHC hospital workers comes into effect in March. Leaving is their choice, noted Kaminski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for staff in general, \u201chow do we keep them motivated?” she questioned. “They\u2019ve been great. They are great, and we want to keep them around.” <\/p>\n\n\n
