Both the hospital and paramedic services say off-load delays has gone down from an average of 4.9 hours last October to around 42 minutes this past June.
Patients are spending less time waiting to be admitted to Guelph General Hospital.
“We’ve got an amazing relationship between our teams and our leadership,” said Melissa Skinner, the hospital’s vice-president of patient services and chief nursing executive. Off-load delays at hospitals in Ontario has been a hot-button political issue over the past year with news about scores of ambulances lined up at entrances waiting to drop off patients. Some have cited a shortage of staff available to handle the influx of patients.Skinner said while that was one factor for the delays at the hospital, the main reason was the number of patients that were being admitted to the hospital have increased over the past year and there was not enough space to handle it.
