Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre Perinatology and Gynaecology Program Review
Submitted By Dr. Jack Kitts, President & CEO The Ottawa Hospital
The Minister of Health and Long-Term Care commissioned this review of Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Science Centre (SWCHSC) Perinatalogy and Gynaecology (P&G) Program to determine the most appropriate site and management model for the Program. SWCHSC is proposing to move the P&G Program from the Women's College Campus to the Bayview Campus at a capital cost of $135M. Current plans indicate that total capital redevelopment projects at the Bayview Campus will exceed $300M and require up to $100M to support the local share. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) is concerned about the quality of services and the affordability of this project.
The Review Team, led by Dr. Jack Kitts, completed a clinical review and a capital review. The clinical review included examination of patient care, education and research. The capital review included examination of capital plans and financing. The methodology included a comprehensive review of relevant documentation, extensive stakeholder consultation and detailed analysis of capital and financial information. The findings from the clinical review directed the capital review.
