Status Checks:

 

The Human Resources Recruitment Division filled 3,200 positions during 2013-14 and strategies to decrease vacancy rates for some difficult-to-fill positions were proven successful (e.g. Psychology). 

 

The success of the Urologist Recruitment Plan has resulted in the elimination of new referrals to out-of-province services as of January 2014.

 

The Planning Department led the organization in the development of its 2014-17 Strategic Plan, including consultation with over 3,000 staff, managers, physicians, and volunteers across the region as well a number of community-based stakeholders.

 

The Long-term Care program strengthened services to meet the needs of the aging population, such as expanding ventilator care services rurally within its Complex Care Service and implementing Enhanced Care Service for clients requiring a higher level of care (but not in need of Nursing Home placement).

Sustainability
Central Laundry Facility

CENTRAL LAUNDRY FACILITY

Airing Our Clean Laundry

 

Sheets, towels, hospital greens, baby blankets. 6.6 million pounds of it processed through Eastern Health’s Central Laundry service in the last fiscal year.

 

The men and women in Laundry Services work six days per week – every week – to support every patient, client and resident served by Eastern Health…and the staff that interact with them.

 

To put this vital contribution in perspective – imagine just one day in health care without clean linens.

 

They take in dirty laundry….separate it – sort it – bag it for the washers – wash it – dry it – sort it – and fold it – and store it for re-distribution.

 

In one continuous, endless ‘cycle’ of support that’s getting more efficient every year – thanks to operational improvements implemented in the last year, and a Central Laundry that’s become even more ‘centralized.’
