卫生和长期护理部
走廊医疗保健是一个关乎民生就医的大问题，它使安省的医院和医疗保健系统变得日趋紧张。
在安省，越来越多的患者需要等待护理的时间变得越来越漫长。安省保守党政府及人民所及，将在未来10年内向全省基本医疗基础设施项目中投资270亿加元，用于医院等医疗护理机构的基础设施建设，为结束走廊医疗保健计划方面迈出了重要一步。这些投资将通过创建3,000多张新医院病床来加强关键的一线护理能力。
“随着这些早该进行的基础设施投资，此举将缓解困扰安省医院长期存在的严重服务压力，并使护士和医生能够提供更好，更快的护理，”副省长兼卫生和长期护理部长Christine Elliott说。 “这些投资清楚地表明我们的政府致力于保护对安省人民的医疗民生问题，包括我们的公共医疗保健系统。”
为了纪念政府的这一项标志性投资，Elliott与省议会同事，医院工作人员，一线医疗服务提供者以及患者和家庭顾问，一起共同庆祝多伦多健康中心 - 圣约瑟夫健康中心新近扩展的精神卫生应急服务部门隆重开幕仪式。通过这些急需的基础设施投资，安省可以减轻医院的压力，安省将会建立一个专注于患者需求的更具现代化，可持续和综合的公共医疗保健系统。
“新的精神卫生应急服务部门是各类卫生基础设施项目的完美典范，这些项目将有助于建设一个有能力提供专业服务的医疗团队，为结束安省的走廊医疗保健做出积极的努力，”Elliott说。 “我们计划结束走廊医疗保健计划的每一个环节，同时建立一个更具现代化，可持续和综合的医疗保健系统，一切以患者为中心，有始有终。”
除了投资增加床位外，政府还在进行更新老旧设备的投资，以确保全省长期被忽视的设施得到妥善维护，并加以有效利用。
“作为一名急诊医生，我目睹了繁忙的急诊部门为寻求心理健康或成瘾危机的患者带来的挑战，”Unity Health多伦多总裁兼首席执行官Tim Rutledge博士说道，新的医疗应急部门由圣约瑟夫医疗机构与普罗维登斯医疗保健和圣迈克尔医院共同组成。 “通过圣约瑟夫健康中心的这个新的心理健康部门，我们现在拥有一个全新的医疗设施，可以帮助我们为患者提供最好的心里安慰和找回患者基本的尊严。”
政府正在采取全面的措施，尽一切努力来结束走廊医疗保健，措施包括增加医院运营资金，提高心理健康和成瘾服务的资金投入，建立长期护理病床的投入，对家庭护理和社区护理等方面进行额外投资。让安省的老年人可以有尊严的颐养天年。

Government Investing $27 Billion to Help End Hallway Health Care
Investments will build more than 3,000 new hospital beds
April 18, 2019 9:00 A.M.
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
TORONTO — Hallway health care is a significant problem that continues to strain Ontario's hospitals and health care system. Across Ontario, too many patients are left waiting too long for the care they need. That's why Ontario's Government for the People is taking a major step forward in its plans to end hallway health care by investing $27 billion over the next 10 years in essential hospital infrastructure projects across the province. These investments will build critical frontline care capacity by creating more than 3,000 new hospital beds.
"With these long-overdue infrastructure investments, we will ease the crippling pressures plaguing Ontario's hospitals and empower nurses and doctors to provide better, faster care," said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. "These investments make crystal clear our government's commitment to protect what matters most to Ontarians, including our public health care system."
To mark the government's landmark investments, Elliott was joined by caucus colleagues, hospital staff, frontline care providers and patient and family advisors. Together they also celebrated the grand opening of Unity Health Toronto - St. Joseph's Health Centre's newly expanded mental health emergency services unit. With these much-needed infrastructure investments, Ontario can ease pressures on hospitals as the province builds a modern, sustainable and integrated public health care system focused on the needs of patients.
"The new mental health emergency services unit is a perfect example of the types of health infrastructure projects that will help build capacity, provide specialized supports and help end hallway health care in Ontario," said Elliott. "Every part of our plan to end hallway health care and build a modern, sustainable and integrated health care system starts and ends with the patient."
In addition to investments in creating more beds, the government is making renewal investments to ensure that long-neglected facilities across the province are properly maintained.
"As an emergency physician, I have witnessed the challenges a busy emergency department can bring for patients seeking care for a mental health or addictions crisis," said Dr. Tim Rutledge, president and CEO of Unity Health Toronto, which consists of St. Joseph's, Providence Healthcare and St. Michael's Hospital. "With this new mental health unit at St. Joseph's Health Centre, we now have a facility that will help us provide the very best for our patients with compassion and human dignity at the forefront."
The government is taking a comprehensive approach to ending hallway health care, including additional investments in increased hospital operational funding, mental health and addiction services and building long-term care beds, as well as home care funding and community care funding, both of which will let Ontario's seniors live at home longer.
