Ontario Hospital Association’s Post

A new report from the OHA demonstrates how efficient Ontario hospitals have been. As we plan for the future, more beds and staffing support will help, but further investment in research and innovation will be needed to change the way hospitals work: https://lnkd.in/geJW2-uj

Reflecting on Lessons Learned

Seriously? The OHA brainiacs think that because Ontario has the “lowest per capita expenditure for Hospitals” in all of Canada, it is because Ontario hospital CEOs are significantly smarter (and better looking) than those non-Ontario CEO Neanderthals.🤮 It hasn’t occurred to these brainiacs that the lowest per capita cost is related to a science called MATH. Here is how it works: because Ontario has more people (population size) than say PEI, our cost per person / taxpayer is therefore lower than their province. The OHA, as the hospital industry’s lobbyist, is attempting to put the best spin on their request for “more money” for hospitals so we can catch up to the much higher per capita spending of PEI. The lobbyists at the OHA credit the lower cost per citizen as a result of our MORE EFFICIENT MANAGERS. Much like JD Vance speaks to an audience of one — Donald Trump — likewise, the OHA is talking to their hospital CEO members, and their Community Governing Boards. So, show of hands: who thinks the OHA has convinced us all that our lower per capita hospital cost are due to excellence in management 🤷♂️?
