Our Challenges
Chapter Seven
Bed Occupancy: An Ongoing Challenge
There is a high demand for Sunnybrook’s resources, in particular inpatient beds.
The hospital has a set a target goal of 95 per cent bed occupancy, also called
“Drive to 95%”.

Drive to 95%
• Sunnybrook has taken several steps to help move towards a 95 per cent occupancy, including developing a new role called Transitional Coordinator to help patients and families return home as quickly and safely as possible.
• Drive to 95 helps to reduce wait times in the Emergency Department and ensures that patients are discharged from the hospital in a timely manner.

Funding Challenges
• Sunnybrook expects that funding increases will remain fairly small, if any.
•The reality is that Ontario is facing an aging population, putting financial pressure on hospital programs throughout the province.

Stepping up to the Challenge
Sunnybrook will continue to seek ways to improve hospital efficiency in order to maintain
its commitment to the highest quality care.
An example is our selection as the lead for the North East Toronto Health Link, which is improving care
for seniors and others with complex conditions.
Health Links bring together health care providers in a community to better and more quickly coordinate care for high-needs patients.

Our Strategic Planning Challengenext
Through our strategic planning we intend to resolve the question:
Which programs and services can Sunnybrook continue to provide to achieve its academic mandate, realize its vision to invent the future of health care, serve the
community and ensure the hospital's resources are being maximized to provide care for those who have complex concerns
and who are critically ill and injured?
