NEW: Ottawa Hospital says for-profit surgeries not impacting other procedures ottnews

In a lengthy statement issued on Wednesday, the Ottawa Hospital said less than half of the Academic Orthopedic Surgical Associates of Ottawa's staff are Ottawa Hospital employees, and they work in a variety of roles.

During the first four Saturdays of the surgical partnership, surgeons and staff at the Riverside campus have performed 40 procedures. "Overall, the partnership has also meant that TOH’s operating rooms have been more available for patients with other kinds of surgical needs. As the largest hospital in Eastern Ontario, we manage all types of care. This partnership has, in a small way, enabled us to preserve the operating rooms for the most complex kinds of care," the hospital said.

The Ottawa Hospital says its rental agreement and partnership with the AOAO is "no different" than "many partnerships" it has across its 19 satellite sites in the community.

Surgeries at for-profit orthopedic clinic already impacting hospital staffing, some insiders sayThis newspaper has spoken with a source inside the hospital, who said an upcoming plan to address backlogged cancer surgeries at The Ottawa Hospital was curtailed because of concerns that nurses would not be available to manage patients. The source, who has direct knowledge of the issue, asked to remain anonymous because of fears of reprisal from hospital management. Please proof read the article. It refers to a “private oncology clinic.” That doesn’t sound right. “Some insiders say”. 😂 So easily predictable

The source, who has direct knowledge of the issue, asked to remain anonymous because of fears of reprisal from hospital management. It is way too early to see whether this will impact staffing. We know that the hysterics will become apoplectic quickly, but that is their gig. too much fear mongering these days So, says one anonymous source and Joel Harden. He has zero credibility on this.
