REPORT OF THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD
2010 - 2011
In my second year as Chairperson, I am pleased to submit this year’s annual report. It has
been a successful year, both financially and in the quality and safety of patient care. This is an
outstanding achievement given the economic restraints that have been imposed on hospitals
again this year in Ontario and the implementation of several legislated Acts including the
Excellent Care for All Act and the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act to increase
transparency and accountability to the general public.
The Board of Directors continues to oversee and monitor the Strategic Plan for 2010-2013.
We are making great progress in our plan as we see the operations team implement our
strategies. Our Board has placed patient safety, quality care services and effective
governance as some of our most important focuses.
Again this year, the Governance and Nominating Committee have dedicated many hours with
an extensive review of the bylaws with many changes as recommended by the prototype
bylaws of the Ontario Hospital Association. They continue to monitor policy development and
Board processes.
Our hospital was recognized provincially this year, by our submission to the Ontario Hospital
Association on “Fulfilling our Mission and Living out our Values”. This was published in the
OHA 2010 Patient Safety Guidebook as a leading practice in the province. We are proud of
this initiative that was led by one of our Board members along with the Patient Safety
Coordinator.
Some highlights this year include the installation of two new generators that will supply not
only today’s capacity but that of the future and the celebration of the hospital’s 45th
anniversary.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank both the Hospital Auxiliary and the
Hospital Foundation for their time, fundraising efforts, and dedication.
I would also like to thank the CEO, the management team, the hospital staff, and the medical
staff for their continued dedication to the patients in our community.
Finally, I would like to thank all the Board members for their hard work. It has been a pleasure
working with all of you over the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
Bill Shields
Chairperson

RAPPORT DU PRÉSIDENT DU CONSEIL D’ADMINISTRATION
2010-2011
En ma deuxième année à titre de président, j'ai le plaisir de vous présenter le rapport annuel
de cette année. L’année a été des plus réussies, tant sur le plan financier que sur celui de la
qualité et de la sécurité des soins aux patients. C'est un accomplissement de taille, compte
tenu des contraintes économiques qui ont été imposées aux hôpitaux en Ontario de nouveau
cette année ainsi que de l’entrée en vigueur de nouvelles lois, notamment la Loi sur
l’excellence des soins pour tous et la Loi sur la responsabilisation du secteur parapublic,
lesquelles visent à accroître la transparence et la responsabilisation envers le grand public.
Le conseil d’administration continue à encadrer et à surveiller la mise en œuvre du Plan
stratégique pour 2010-2013. Nous réalisons des progrès énormes à cet égard, tandis que
l’équipe des opérations applique nos stratégies. Le conseil accorde la priorité à la sécurité des
patients, à la prestation de soins de qualité et à la gouvernance efficace, entre autres.
De nouveau cette année, le Comité de gouvernance et des candidatures a consacré
beaucoup d’heures à examiner en profondeur des règlements; il y a apporté bon nombre de
changements conformément aux exemples de règlements recommandés par l’Association des
hôpitaux de l’Ontario (OHA). En outre, ses membres continuent à surveiller l’élaboration de
politiques et les processus du conseil.
Cette année, notre hôpital a été reconnu à l’échelle provinciale grâce à notre soumission à
l’OHA intitulée « Fulfilling our Mission and Living out our Values » (concrétiser notre mission et
nos valeurs fondamentales). Cet article a été publié dans l’édition 2010 du Patient Safety
Guidebook de l’OHA. Nous sommes fiers de cette initiative qui a été dirigée par un des
membres de notre conseil en collaboration avec la coordonnatrice de la sécurité des patients.
Figurent parmi les faits saillants de l’année écoulée l’installation de deux nouveaux
générateurs qui satisferont non seulement les besoins d’aujourd’hui, mais aussi ceux de
demain, et la célébration du 45e anniversaire de l’hôpital.
Au nom du conseil d’administration, je voudrais remercier les membres de l’Auxiliaire et de la
Fondation de l’Hôpital du temps qu’ils donnent, des activités de financement qu’ils organisent
et du dévouement dont ils font preuve.
Je tiens aussi à remercier le directeur général, l’équipe de gestion, le personnel de l’hôpital
ainsi que le personnel médical de leur dévouement soutenu envers les patients de notre
communauté.
Enfin, je m’en voudrais de ne pas remercier tous les membres du conseil de leur travail
acharné. Ce fut un honneur pour moi de travailler avec vous tous au cours de la dernière
année.
Le tout respectueusement soumis,
Bill Shields
Président

REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
2010 - 2011
QUALITY
Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital continues to value the quality of care that we deliver to
our residents of Eastern Counties. Through our strategic planning update, we continue to
strengthen and affirm our priority clinical programs provided to the community with a focus on
our inpatient units, 24/7 emergency services, and outpatient clinics. This year, we have been
able to add a "Post Acute Stroke Rehabilitation Program" which has been a fantastic new
program, benefitting patients from Eastern Ontario that have suffered a recent stroke. We
now also have cardiac stress testing and cardiac ultrasound which have been great additions
for diagnosing cardiac disease without our residents having to travel.
Quality and patient safety remain a prime focus of the hospital. This topic is at the front of
every leadership, board, and team meeting. We continue to learn and grow in our
establishment of best practices. We received a three year accreditation status in May of 2010,
and we are proud of the work that we accomplished to achieve this. We maintain our
transparency through result reporting both on our website (www.hgmh.on.ca) and on the
Ministry of Health Long Term Care’s website for the public. Late this year, the "Excellent Care
for All Act" came in to effect and we successfully developed a quality improvement plan that is
available on our website. Our patient rights and responsibilities were reviewed and updated
and shared at a community engagement forum and are also available on our website. HGMH
will continue to show transparency and accountability for improving patient care. The Broader
Public Sector Accountability Act is now in effect, and procurement of consultants and supplies
is a rigorous process that we have implemented to comply with the legislation to protect and
ensure the public is well served.
Our complement of family physicians has seen changes this year with the recent loss of two
family physicians. We were able to recruit one new physician, and we welcome Dr. Ross to
our active staff. We will continue to recruit over the coming year to ensure we have a full
complement of physicians. Our active physicians continue to serve our inpatients ensuring
stability for the hospital. This is complemented by the long term, stable group of emergency
physicians who ensure continued quality in the emergency department. We are very fortunate
in this community to have this as it is an ongoing challenge for many communities our size.
GROWTH AND LEARNING
The hospital continues to support the many departments in essential areas of development.
Three main focuses have been defined for growth and learning. These continue to include
stress in the workplace, leadership development, and safety. These are achieved through
many avenues including "lunch and learns", presentations, courses, and conferences. We
also added Violence in the Workplace and Accessibility training this year as these were
legislated requirements.

HOSPITAL
HUMAN RESOURCES AND FINANCE
We are fortunate to be ending this fiscal year with a surplus budget. The sustainability of this
achievement will be challenging as we receive less monies while salaries and expenses
continue to grow. The hospital was the recipient again this year of the "Gold Award" for
Workplace Health Award by the Eastern Ontario Health Unit. The hospital leads in wellness
strategies, and this year the staff developed a video called the "Pink Glove Dance" for breast
cancer awareness. This has been done by many hospitals in the United States, but we are
only the second hospital in Canada to do this; our video has been submitted to be viewed on
"You Tube".
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Community engagement is important to the hospital and an engagement session was held by
invitation this year to review and comment on our Patient Declaration of Values and our future
potential project to become the "Hub" of health and social services for our community.
We also engaged our community partners hosting several meetings throughout the year. As
partners, we are working together to develop a "Health and Social Services Fair" this year in
Alexandria. Lastly, we enjoy participating locally in all the community events that we can.
Supporting each other in all of our activities makes our community viable and sustainable.
In closing, I would like to thank the volunteers for their many hours of service and their ongoing
commitment to the hospital, as well as the medical staff for their dedication and participation in
ensuring quality patient care services.
I would also like to thank the Board of Directors for their support, direction, and dedication.
The hours required in serving on the various committees and the meetings that they attend are
countless. Finally, I would like to thank the management team and all the staff. Together, we
make a great team and serve our community well.

RAPPORT DE LA DIRECTRICE GÉNÉRALE
2010 - 2011
QUALITÉ
À l’Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital, nous continuons à accorder beaucoup d’importance à
la qualité des soins que nous fournissons aux résidents des comtés de l’Est. Grâce à la mise
à jour de notre planification stratégique, nous continuons à renforcer et à affirmer nos
programmes cliniques prioritaires offerts à la communauté en mettant l’accent sur les unités
de soins aux patients hospitalisés, les services d’urgence offerts jour et nuit, sept jours par
semaine, et les consultations externes. Cette année, nous avons pu ajouter le « Programme
de réadaptation post-AVC aigu », lequel s’avère un nouveau programme extraordinaire dont
bénéficient les patients de l’Est ontarien qui ont subi un AVC récent. De plus, l’hôpital est
maintenant doté des appareils nécessaires aux épreuves d’effort et des appareils
d’échographie cardiaque, lesquels sont des plus utiles du fait qu’ils nous permettent de
diagnostiquer les maladies du cœur sans que les résidents aient à se déplacer.
La qualité des soins et la sécurité des patients demeurent la priorité à l’hôpital. En effet, ces
sujets sont à l’avant-plan de chacune des réunions de la direction, du conseil d’administration
et des diverses équipes de soins. Nous continuons à apprendre et à progresser au chapitre de
l’adoption de pratiques exemplaires. En mai 2010, nous avons reçu une cote d’agrément de
trois ans et nous sommes fiers du travail que nous avons accompli pour atteindre ce but. Nous
maintenons la transparence en rendant compte des résultats sur notre site Web
(www.hgmh.on.ca) et sur celui du ministère de la Santé et des Soins de longue durée destiné
au public. Vers la fin de l’année, la Loi sur l’excellence des soins pour tous est entrée en
vigueur et nous avons réussi à élaborer un plan d’amélioration de la qualité, lequel est affiché
sur notre site Web. Par ailleurs, nous avons revu et mis à jour les droits et responsabilités des
patients et les avons communiqués à la population lors d’un forum d’engagement
communautaire; on peut aussi les consulter sur notre site Web. L’HGMH continuera à faire
preuve de transparence et de responsabilisation quant à l’amélioration des soins aux patients.
En outre, la Loi sur la responsabilisation du secteur parapublic est maintenant en vigueur et le
recours aux services d’experts-conseils et l’approvisionnement en fournitures font l’objet d’un
processus rigoureux que nous avons mis en œuvre afin de nous conformer aux dispositions
législatives visant à protéger le public et à veiller à ce qu’il soit bien servi.
Notre effectif de médecins de famille a subi des changements cette année en raison du départ
récent de deux médecins. Nous avons réussi à recruter un nouveau médecin; nous
souhaitons la bienvenue au Dr Ross au sein de notre personnel actif. Afin de nous assurer
d’avoir un plein effectif de médecins, nous poursuivrons nos efforts de recrutement au cours
de l’année à venir. Nos médecins actifs continuent à servir les patients hospitalisés,
contribuant ainsi à assurer la stabilité de l’hôpital. Le groupe stable à long terme de médecins
d’urgence leur sert de supplément et assure la qualité continue au Service des urgences.
Nous avons beaucoup de chance de pouvoir compter sur ces services dans la communauté,
car pour bon nombre de communautés de la même taille, il s’agit d’un enjeu perpétuel.

GLENGARRY MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL
CROISSANCE ET APPRENTISSAGE
À l’hôpital, nous continuons à soutenir le personnel des nombreux services dans des
domaines essentiels de perfectionnement. Nous avons cerné trois principaux domaines de
croissance et d’apprentissage, soit le stress au travail, la formation du leadership et la
sécurité. Le perfectionnement se fait sous diverses formes, dont des « dîners-causeries », des
exposés, des cours et des conférences. Cette année, nous avons également ajouté une
formation sur la violence au travail et sur l’accessibilité étant donné que ces sujets sont
imposés par la loi.
RESSOURCES HUMAINES ET FINANCES
Nous avons de la chance de terminer l’exercice avec un excédent budgétaire. Toutefois, il
nous sera difficile de maintenir cet accomplissement du fait que nous recevons moins de
fonds, tandis que les salaires et les dépenses continuent à croître. Cette année, l’Hôpital a de
nouveau reçu le « Prix Or » de la Distinction de mérite pour la santé en milieu de travail
décerné par le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario. L’Hôpital est chef de file en matière de
stratégies de mieux-être et cette année, le personnel a produit une vidéo intitulée Pink Glove
Dance à l’appui de la sensibilisation au cancer du sein. Bon nombre d’hôpitaux aux États-Unis
ont réalisé un projet semblable, mais nous sommes le deuxième Hôpital au Canada à le faire;
notre vidéo a été soumise aux fins de visionnement sur YouTube.
INTÉGRATION DES SYSTÈMES
L’engagement communautaire est important pour notre l’hôpital et, cette année, nous avons
tenu une séance d’engagement sur invitation afin de passer en revue et de commenter notre
Déclaration des valeurs des patients et la possibilité pour l’hôpital de devenir le « carrefour »
de services sociaux et de santé pour les gens d’ici.
Nous avons également fait appel à nos partenaires communautaires en tenant plusieurs
réunions au cours de l’année. En tant que partenaires, nous travaillons ensemble à
l’organisation d’une « Foire des services sociaux et de santé » qui se tiendra à Alexandria
cette année. Enfin, nous aimons participer, à l’échelle locale, au plus grand nombre d’activités
communautaires possible. C’est en nous soutenant les uns les autres relativement à toutes
nos activités que nous assurons le dynamisme et la viabilité de notre communauté.
Pour conclure, j’aimerais remercier tous les bénévoles de leurs nombreuses heures de service
et de leur engagement soutenu envers l’hôpital ainsi que les membres du personnel médical
de leur dévouement et de leur participation aux efforts visant à assurer la prestation de soins
de qualité aux patients.
Je tiens aussi à remercier les membres du conseil d’administration de leur soutien, de leur
direction et de leur dévouement. Les heures qu’ils consacrent à siéger aux divers comités et à
assister à diverses réunions sont innombrables. Enfin, je remercie l’équipe de gestion et tous
les membres du personnel. Ensemble, nous formons une excellente équipe et nous servons
bien notre communauté.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF
2010 - 2011
It was a successful year for HGMH. Congratulations are in order to all the hospital Staff, the
Management, and the Board of Directors for the good work done during the last year.
The clinics are running successfully.
Cardiac TeLeCare (TLC) program has been
implemented with an objective to support and supervise patients with congestive heart failure.
We hope to increase its utilization in the next year. The clinics were evaluated by the hospital
Board of Directors for operational costs. We are happy to start performing echocardiography
and cardiac stress testing by the cardiologist.
In August 2010, we added a Post-Acute Stroke Program Rehabilitation Program. The
objective of this program is to assist stroke patients to achieve functional goals and improve
their independence in order to successfully return home or in a community-based facility.
In the past year, there were 587 (676) acute care admissions, 37 (55) long term care
admissions, 29 stroke rehabilitation admissions, and 25,506 (23,296) emergency room visits.
The pool of ER physicians is stable and the Emergency Room is running smoothly. We are
seeing an increasing number of patients from surrounding areas. Our waiting times are far
better than the provincial averages.
During the year, the Active Staff complement has become eight physicians providing medical
care to our inpatients on the acute, complex continuing care, and acute stroke rehabilitation
units. We are pleased to have recruited Dr. Ross as an active staff.
The specialty physician complement has remained the same. We have consultants from
different areas of medicine including Dermatology, Urology, Internal Medicine, Cardiology,
Surgery, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Orthopedics, and
Ophthalmology. We also continue to provide services in Physiotherapy, Endoscopy, Diabetes
with nutrition counseling, Holter monitoring, spirometry, and Telemedicine.
I would like to thank the members of the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) who voluntarily
take part in the medical affairs of the hospital including the various medical committees. They
are:
Dr. T. Jaggassar
Dr. D. Greenway (PhD)
Dr. A. Rosenbloom
Dr. E. El Salibi
Dr. G. Marleau
Dr. C. Millman
Dr. R. Govan
Dr. L. Lajoie
Dr. R. Adams
Dr. A. Ross
These physicians have chaired different committees. In the past year, they have organized 6
continuing medical education events, 2 medical quality assurance audits, reviewed the drugs
on the hospital’s formulary, led interdisciplinary care to patients, ensured infection control
procedures are in place, and reviewed applications and re-applications to the medical staff.
A special thanks to the volunteers who contribute to the success of a number of programs
offered to patients.

RAPPORT DU MÉDECIN CHEF
2010 - 2011
L’Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH) vient de terminer une année fructueuse. Je
tiens à féliciter tout le personnel hospitalier, l’équipe de direction, et le Conseil d’administration
de l’excellent travail qu’ils ont accompli tout au long de l’année.
L’unité de services cliniques fonctionne avec succès. Le programme TéLésoins Cardiaques
(TLC) a été mis en œuvre pour superviser et supporter les patients souffrant d’insuffisance
cardiaque congestive. On espère augmenter son utilisation durant l’année prochaine. Les
cliniques ont été évaluées par le conseil d’administration de l’hôpital pour les coûts
d’exploitation. On est content de pouvoir faire, maintenant, l’échocardiographie et le test de
stress cardiaque par le cardiologue.
En août 2010, on a rajouté un programme de réadaptation post-AVC aigu. L’objectif de ce
programme est d’assister les patients pour regagner leur fonctionnement et d’améliorer leur
indépendance en vue de retourner à la maison ou à une institution communautaire.
Au cours de l’année écoulée, il y a eu 587 (676) admissions aux soins actifs, 37 (55) aux soins
continus complexes, 29 admissions à l’unité de réadaptation, et 25 506 (23 296) visites à la
salle d’urgence.
Le bassin des médecins d’urgence est stable et la salle d’urgence fonctionne bien. Nous
constatons une hausse du nombre de patients venant des régions avoisinantes. Le temps
d’attente à notre urgence est de loin meilleur que les moyennes provinciales.
Pendant l’année, l’effectif en personnel actif est devenu huit médecins qui fournissent des
soins médicaux aux patients hospitalisés de l’unité des soins actifs, à ceux de l’unité des soins
continus complexes, et à l’unité de réadaptation post-AVC aigu.
Le bassin de médecins spécialistes est resté stable durant l’année. Nous comptons des
consultants dans différents domaines de la médecine, dont la dermatologie, l’urologie, la
médecine interne, la cardiologie, la chirurgie, la gastroentérologie, la gynécologie, la
neurologie, la psychiatrie, l’orthopédie, la pneumologie, et l’ophtalmologie.
Par ailleurs, nous continuons à offrir des services de physiothérapie, d’endoscopie, de la
surveillance Holter, des examens de la fonction pulmonaire, et des services aux diabétiques,
dont du counseling en nutrition.
Je tiens à remercier les membres du comité médical consultatif, qui s’occupent volontairement
des affaires médicales de l’hôpital, en outre des travaux de divers comités médicaux. Il s’agit
des médecins suivants :
Dr T. Jaggassar
Dr D. Greenway (PhD)
Dr A. Rosenbloom

CHIEF NURSING OFFICER ANNUAL REPORT
2010-2011
QUALITY
This year’s accomplishments have included patient safety initiatives and a focus on chronic
disease prevention and management. Patient safety has been enhanced by working on
improved communication hand-off practices on admission, change of shift, and transfer to
another facility. In the inpatient units, we have increased our education to patients, families,
and visitors on the use of personal protective equipment. We have also developed instruction
sheets, posters, and pamphlets on hand hygiene and on how to prevent hospital acquired
infections. In January this year, we hired a Manager with clinical expertise in geriatrics to
oversee our inpatient units. This ensures our hospital is in line with best practices for our
senior population.
Chronic disease prevention and management has been focused on reducing and preventing
the worsening of cardiac diseases. We have integrated our program to be in line with the
University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Services include offering smoking cessation for all
patients admitted to the hospital, clinical nutrition, and telehome monitoring for heart failure.
These continue to be complemented by the respirology and cardiology clinics. We are in the
process of integrating our diabetes program with a regional program in Eastern Counties so
that all diabetics receive the same level of care.
Our Post Acute Stroke Rehabilitation Program is progressing well, and stroke patients are
returning to their homes in the expected timeframes.
The Emergency Wait Time Strategy continues to be a Ministry of Health priority and Hôpital
Glengarry Memorial Hospital continues to excel with the shortest wait times in the Champlain
LHIN.
GROWTH AND LEARNING
The primary areas of education have focused on protocols for chronic disease management
with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and regional networks. The nurses and
physicians have also implemented protocols for our major reasons for admission which
include treatments for heart failure and heart attacks. This is aligned with the regional
approach to treatment ensuring patients receive the best care possible closest to home.
Our emergency exercise planning is ongoing throughout the year to ensure we are ready to
react efficiently to any emergency situation.
FINANCIAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES
Recruitment in nursing continues to be a challenge. We continue to be involved in recruiting
student placements for future talents through high school cooperative placements as well as
preceptor students from colleges and universities. We are also involved with Health Force
Ontario’s initiatives. Efforts to retain nurses are important, and the Wellness Committee for
the hospital strives to work to ensure staff has good work-life balance.

GLENGARRY MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL
Inpatient volumes have increased in comparison to last year to 77% in acute care and
decreasing slightly in the Complex Continuing Care Unit to 85%. The Post Acute Stroke
Rehabilitation Program opened in August and has had occupancy of 60%. This seems low
but volumes are expected to increase as news of the success of the program grows. The
emergency department and the ambulatory clinic volumes have increased slightly from last
year.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
We have integrated our Discharge Planning Program with the Community Care Access Centre
to focus on a patient-centered approach as the patient flows through the health care system.
The goal is to ensure patients move easily from home to hospital as needed and back home
with the required services as quickly as possible.
In closing, I would like to thank our patients for their loyalty to our community, the nursing staff
for their commitment to quality patient care, the support staff who works so hard to make a
clean, healthy workplace, the physicians for their support and participation on clinical
committees, and the Auxiliary for their ongoing dedication. I would also like to thank the
management team who demonstrate our hospital values in our work every day.

RAPPORT ANNUEL DE LA DIRECTRICE DES SOINS INFIRMIERS
2010 - 2011
QUALITÉ
Figurent parmi les réalisations accomplies cette année la mise en œuvre d’initiatives axées
sur la sécurité des patients et l’accent mis sur la prévention et la gestion des maladies
chroniques. Nous avons rehaussé la sécurité des patients en améliorant les pratiques de
communication au moment du passage à l’admission, des changements de quart et du
transfert des patients à un autre établissement. Dans les unités de soins aux patients
hospitalisés, nous avons accru l’éducation des patients, des familles et des visiteurs
concernant l’utilisation de l’équipement de protection individuel. Nous avons également produit
des feuilles d’instructions, des affiches et des dépliants sur l’hygiène des mains et la façon de
prévenir les infections d’origine hospitalière. En janvier dernier, nous avons engagé un
gestionnaire possédant un savoir-faire clinique en gériatrie pour veiller à la bonne marche des
unités de soins aux patients hospitalisés. Cet ajout fait en sorte que notre hôpital est en
harmonie avec les pratiques exemplaires pour notre population de personnes âgées.
Quant à la prévention et à la gestion des maladies chroniques, nous nous sommes concentrés
sur la réduction et la prévention de l’aggravation des maladies du cœur. À cette fin, nous
avons intégré notre programme afin qu’il cadre avec celui de l’Institut de cardiologie de
l’Université d’Ottawa. Ainsi, nous offrons à tous les patients admis à l’hôpital un programme
d’abandon du tabac; nous fournissons aussi des services de nutrition clinique et la
télésurveillance à la maison auprès des personnes ayant subi une défaillance cardiaque. Ces
services sont assortis de services de pneumologie et de cardiologie en consultations externes.
Nous sommes à intégrer notre programme pour diabétiques à un programme régional offert
dans les comtés de l’Est afin que les personnes diabétiques reçoivent toutes le même niveau
de soins.
Par ailleurs, notre Programme de réadaptation post-AVC aigu évolue bien et les patients
ayant subi un AVC retournent chez eux dans les délais prévus.
La Stratégie de réduction des temps d’attente aux services des urgences continue à être une
des priorités du ministère de la Santé et l’Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH)
continue à exceller à ce chapitre. En effet, il affiche le temps d’attente le plus court au sein du
RLISS de Champlain.
Les principaux domaines d’éducation ont visé les protocoles concernant la gestion des
maladies chroniques avec l’Institut de cardiologie de l’Université d’Ottawa et les réseaux
régionaux. Les infirmières et les médecins ont également adopté des protocoles à l’égard des
principales raisons d’admission à l’HGMH, y compris le traitement des défaillances cardiaques
et des crises cardiaques. Ces traitements sont conformes à l’approche régionale connexe ce
qui fait en sorte que les patients reçoivent les meilleurs soins possible près de chez eux.
La planification des mesures à prendre en cas d’urgence se déroule du début à la fin de
l’année, ce qui fait que nous sommes prêts à intervenir efficacement dans toutes les situations
d’urgence.

RESSOURCES HUMAINES ET FINANCIÈRES
Le recrutement de personnel de soins infirmiers continue à nous donner du fil à retordre. Nous
poursuivons nos efforts à cet égard en offrant des stages étudiants par l’entremise des
programmes d’enseignement coopératif au palier secondaire ainsi que des préceptorats dans
les collèges et dans les universités, ce qui nous permet de recruter les talents de demain.
Nous participons aussi à des initiatives de Professions Santé Ontario. Nous déployons des
efforts considérables pour garder le personnel de soins infirmiers en poste et le comité de
mieux-être vise à s’assurer que celui-ci jouit d’un bon équilibre travail-vie personnelle.
Le taux de patients hospitalisés a augmenté par rapport à l’année dernière pour atteindre
77 % en soins actifs et diminué légèrement à l’Unité de soins continus complexes pour
s’établir à 85 %. Quant au Programme de réadaptation post-AVC aigu lancé en août, il affiche
un taux d’occupation de 60 %, ce qui peut sembler faible, mais on s’attend à une hausse du
nombre de patients à mesure que la nouvelle se répandra concernant le succès que connaît
ce programme. Les taux de visites au Service des urgences et à l’Unité de soins ambulatoires
ont légèrement augmenté par rapport à l’année précédente.
INTÉGRATION DES SYSTÈMES
Nous avons intégré notre programme de planification des congés avec le Centre d’accès aux
soins communautaires afin d’utiliser une approche axée sur le patient à mesure que ce dernier
se déplace au sein du système de soins de santé. Il s’agit de faire en sorte que les patients
passent facilement de la maison à l’hôpital, au besoin, puis de nouveau à la maison en
recevant les services nécessaires le plus rapidement possible.
En terminant, j’aimerais remercier les patients de leur loyauté envers la communauté; les
membres du personnel de soins infirmiers de leur engagement envers la prestation de soins
de qualité aux patients; les membres du personnel de soutien, qui ne ménagent aucun effort
pour créer un lieu de travail propre et sain; les médecins de leur appui et de leur participation
aux comités cliniques, ainsi que les Auxiliaires de leur dévouement soutenu. Je m’en voudrais
d’oublier l’équipe de gestion dont les membres mettent en pratique les valeurs de l’hôpital au
quotidien.

REPORT OF THE HOSPITAL AUXILIARY
2010 - 2011
The year 2010-2011 was a very rewarding year for the Auxiliary. Our membership now has
248 members, of which 130 are active, while our Junior Volunteers consist of 20 young men
and women. Together our members have contributed 17,000 hours of volunteer service. Our
volunteer service programs, be they in Complex Continuing Care, Physiotherapy, Pastoral
Care, Palliative Care, or the Information Desk, continue to bring comfort, warmth, and
friendliness to the patients and their families as well as support and relief to the staff.
QUALITY OF CARE
In order to assure better quality care to HGMH’s patients the Liaison Committee, a joint
committee between the Hospital and the Auxiliary, met twice in order to discuss areas of
common concern.
GROWTH AND LEARNING
In order to keep informed of the latest approaches within our field:
 The Physio team, the Complex Continuing Care team, each held two meetings while
the Pastoral Care team held three. The Palliative Care team meets monthly to better
serve the patients’ needs.
 On October 13, 2010, 10 auxilians travelled to Perth to attend the Region 9 Fall
Conference.
 Four adult volunteers plus two junior volunteers and one Junior Volunteer Chair
attended the HAAO Convention in Toronto, November 2010.
 November 24, 2010, 31 volunteers at our General Meeting attended a presentation by
Dave Shelley and Sonal Modi of Nelligan O’Brien Payne on Will & Estate Planning.
 March 23, 2011, 41 volunteers at our General Meeting attended an extremely
interesting presentation by Mike McDonell, OPP Commissioner and Area Inspector, on
scams, particularly scams targeting seniors.
 Eight auxilians attended the HAAO Spring Convention hosted by Winchester District
Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
 Two members of the Palliative Care team attended the Annual Palliative Care
Education Day Conference in May 2011.
 On May 18, two members attended the Region 9 Presidents’ Luncheon in Pembroke,
where programs and ideas were exchanged.
HUMAN RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
In order to reach our goals as set out in our “Mission Statement”, we:
 Awarded two $300 bursaries to Junior Volunteers who graduated into programs
recognized by the Ministry of Education
 Presented $10,000 towards our $50,000 pledged towards the digital X-ray
 Recruited nine new AHGMHA volunteers in the course of the year
 Held another very successful Jingle Bell sale in November 2010, raising $6,772
 Provided all materials used by our patients in the activity room as well as for various
gifts that are given to the residents of the Complex Continuing Care Unit

SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND PARTNERSHIP
In order to work with our community, towards a common goal:
 The Pastoral Care team held an “In Memoriam” service for the families of loved ones
who died at the Hospital in the course of the year on November 18, 2010
 The Auxiliary sponsored 2 birthday parties at the Community Nursing Home, one in
October 2010 and the second in February 2011
 The Auxiliary sponsored a “Blood Donor Clinic” at which 108 units of blood were
collected on January 10, 2011
 The Auxiliary held its “Volunteer Appreciation Night” which was attended by the CEO
and some HGMH staff on April 27, 2011
 Over 50 volunteers served supper to 3,000 participants at the Relay for Life in Maxville
on June 3, 2011
The Auxiliary was extremely busy, but none of this would have been possible without the
support that we received from the Board, the administration and the staff.

L’AUXILIAIRE DE L’HÔPITAL GLENGARRY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
RAPPORT ANNUEL 2010-2011

17 000 heures de bénévolat. Nos bénévoles, que ce soit aux soins continus complexes, en
physiothérapie, au Service de pastorale, en soins palliatifs ou au comptoir de renseignements,
continuent à procurer confort, chaleur et obligeance aux patients et à leur famille ainsi que
soutien et répit au personnel.
QUALITÉ DES SOINS
Dans le but d’améliorer la qualité des soins fournis aux patients de l’HGMH, le comité de
liaison, comité mixte regroupant des représentants de l’hôpital et des Auxiliaires, a tenu deux
réunions pour discuter des domaines d’intérêt commun.
Dans le but de rester au fait des nouvelles façons de faire dans notre domaine :
 L’équipe de physiothérapie et l’équipe des soins continus complexes ont chacune tenu
deux réunions, tandis que celle du Service de pastorale en a tenu trois. Les membres
de l’équipe des soins palliatifs se réunissent tous les mois afin de mieux répondre aux
besoins des patients.

la conférence d’automne de la Région 9.

à un exposé sur le testament et la planification successorale donné par Dave Shelley et
Sonal Modi du cabinet Nelligan O’Brien Payne.
 Le 23 mars 2011, 41 bénévoles présents à notre assemblée générale ont assisté à un
exposé des plus intéressants donné par Mike McDonell, commissaire de la PPO et
inspecteur de secteur, sur les escroqueries, surtout celles qui ciblent les personnes
âgées.

par les Auxiliaires de l’Hôpital Memorial du district de Winchester.

GESTION DES RESSOURCES HUMAINES ET FINANCIÈRES
Afin d’atteindre les objectifs établis dans notre « Énoncé de mission », nous avons :
 décerné deux bourses de 300 $ à des jeunes bénévoles diplômés d’un programme
reconnu par le ministère de l’Éducation;
 versé 10 000 $ relativement à notre promesse de don de 50 000 $ à l’appui du
financement de l’appareil de radiographie numérique;
 recruté neuf nouveaux bénévoles pour les AHGMHA pendant l’année;
 organisé, en novembre 2010, une autre vente d’avant Noël des plus réussies, qui a
rapporté 6 772 $;
 fourni tout le matériel utilisé par les patients dans la salle d’activités ainsi que les divers
cadeaux donnés aux pensionnaires de l’Unité de soins continus complexes.
INTÉGRATION DES SYSTÈMES ET PARTENARIATS
Afin de travailler avec notre communauté à l’atteinte d’un objectif commun :
 L’équipe du Service de pastorale a tenu, le 18 novembre 2010, un service
commémoratif pour les familles dont un proche est décédé à l’hôpital au cours de
l’année;
 Les Auxiliaires ont commandité deux fêtes d’anniversaire à la maison de soins
infirmiers communautaire, soit une en octobre 2010 et l’autre, en février 2011;
 Les Auxiliaires ont commandité une collecte de sang tenue le 10 janvier 2011, à
laquelle on a recueilli 108 unités de sang;
 Les Auxiliaires ont tenu, le 27 avril 2011, leur « Soirée de reconnaissance des
bénévoles », à laquelle ont assisté la directrice générale et des membres du personnel
de l’HGMH.
 Le 3 juin 2011, plus de 50 bénévoles ont servi le souper à 3 000 participants au Relais
pour la vie tenu à Maxville.
Bref, les Auxiliaires ont été des plus occupés, mais rien n’aurait été possible sans le soutien
que nous avons reçu du conseil d’administration, de la direction et du personnel.

REPORT FROM THE TREASURER
2010 - 2011
It is my pleasure to be Treasurer of Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital and to Chair the
Finance Committee. This year, the Finance Committee saw its membership increase and the
new members have added to the dynamic of the committee.
Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital budgeted for an operating surplus of $ 1,131 and ended
the year with an operating surplus of $ 82,360. This could not have been accomplished
without the tenacity of managers to respect their departmental budgets and the senior team’s
efforts. However, when we add the amortization related to the building, Hôpital Glengarry
Memorial Hospital ended with an overall deficit of $ 123,270.
New operating funding from the Champlain Local Health Integration Network was received in
August to cover the new Post Acute Stroke Rehabilitation Program. This new program was
initiated with the help of our LHIN and a few of our health care partners and is a resounding
success.
In March 2011, Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital received $182,114 of funding through the
Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund. This funding will enable us to complete our new
generators project and begin the upgrade of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
system in the diagnostic/laboratory area.
In the next few years, any incremental funding will be determined based on the Health Base
Allocation Model (HBAM). This is a new methodology of distributing funding to hospital, where
the focus is centered on the money following the patient.
I would like to thank the members of the Finance Committee who thoroughly review the
financial and statistical statements on a monthly basis. Also, I would like to thank Ms. Ramsay
for preparing all of the statements and to thank her and Mrs. Morrow for responding to the
many questions from the committee members. Finally, thank you to all donors, where during a
period of financial pressures, all contributions are greatly appreciated.
The following Auditors' report gives a detailed summary of the years financial activities.
Respectfully submitted
Tom Murray, Treasurer

RAPPORT DU TRÉSORIER
2010 - 2011
Il me fait plaisir d'être trésorier de l'Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital et président du Comité
des finances. Cette année, le Comité des finances a vu plusieurs nouveaux membres se
joindre et ces derniers ont ajouté à la dynamique du comité.
L’Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital avait établi un budget avec un excédent de 1,131 $ et a
terminé l’exercice avec un excédent de fonctionnement de 82,360 $. Cela n'aurait pas pu être
accompli sans la ténacité des gérants à contrôler les dépenses de leur département respectif
et des efforts de l'équipe senior. Toutefois, si l'on ajoute l'amortissement rattaché au bâtiment,
l'Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital a terminé son exercice avec un déficit global de
123,270 $.
De nouveaux fonds de fonctionnement ont été reçus du Réseau local d'intégration des
services de santé de Champlain en août afin de couvrir le nouveau Programme de
réadaptation post-AVC aigu. Ce nouveau programme a été lancé avec l'aide de notre RLISS
et nos partenaires en soins de santé et est un succès retentissant.
En mars 2011, l'Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital a reçu 182,114 $ de financement par le
Fonds pour le réaménagement de l’infrastructure du système de la santé. Ce financement va
nous permettre de compléter notre projet rattaché à l’acquisition de nouveaux générateurs et
de commencer la mise à jour du système de chauffage, de ventilation et de climatisation dans
la zone du laboratoire et des services diagnostics.
Dans l’avenir, la part de financement accordé à chaque Réseau local d’intégration des
services de santé sera fonction d’une évaluation directe de l’état de santé de la population
locale. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle méthode de répartition du financement des hôpitaux nommée le
Modèle d’allocation fondée sur la santé (MAS).
Je tiens à remercier les membres du Comité des finances qui ont bien examiné les états
financiers et statistiques sur une base mensuelle. Je tiens à remercier Mme Ramsay pour la
préparation de ces derniers, ainsi que Mme Morrow pour avoir répondu aux nombreuses
questions des membres du comité. Enfin, merci à tous les donateurs, où, pendant une période
de pressions financières, toutes les contributions reçues sont grandement appréciées.
Un aperçu détaillé des activités financières de l’exercice figure dans le rapport des
vérificateurs.
