William Osler Health System Turns to Interbit Data's Netdelivery For
case study William Osler Health System turns to Interbit Data’s NetDelivery for COVID-19 emergency mass notification William Osler Health System is a full-service hospital system that serves 1.3 million residents within the Central West Local Health Integration Network in metropolitan Toronto, Canada. It operates three hospitals: Brampton Civic Hospital, Etobicoke General Hospital and the Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness. The sites provide a comprehensive range of acute care, outpatient services including an expansive Mental Health and Addictions program, and community-based services. In March, due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Ontario, the government asked that all Ontario hospitals scale down on non-urgent surgeries and clinical activity to help healthcare staff and physicians preserve capacity for possible elevation in COVID cases that would require hospital care. This left Osler with a daunting challenge: Staff had less than a week to notify every provider that had referred patients for appointments that there were going to be cancellations and no scheduling of new appointments. Faced with this unprecedented demand, Osler staff quickly realized they had no way to easily notify all the providers from outside clinics, some of them many hundreds of miles away, about the cancellations. The health system had a paging system to send out mass communications to internal staff members, but no way of communicating externally to the more than 5,800 providers who refer patients to its hospitals. The only option was to manually contact each individual clinic by phone — a process that likely would entail assigning four or five employees to look up contact information and place calls full-time for at least a week, and then hope that staff at the mostly shuttered clinics were monitoring their voicemails.

The Brampton Mall, from Fishing to Tobogganing – the Stories Are Here
© Copyright 2009 Brampton Library Acknowledgements Through Our Eyes – History, Community, and Diversity is a project designed to document Brampton’s local history through the eyes of the people who have lived it and are living it still. In this booklet, seniors share their memories of growing up in Brampton, or moving here from near or far away. They talk about the changes they have seen over the years, and of the highlights that stand out most in their recollections. From floods to flowers, Dick Smith’s pond to the Brampton Mall, from fishing to tobogganing – the stories are here. Brampton Library would like to thank all of the authors who submitted their stories for inclusion in this book, as well as all of the seniors who told their stories on camera in the Through Our Eyes video interviews, which are available through Brampton Library as well as being viewable online (for more information see www.bramptonlibrary.ca). Special thanks go to Brampton Library staff members Pam Martin and Elizabeth Patterson, and to the volunteer project committee for their contributions: Swetha Christabel, Everton Dixon, Tristan Irvine, Francine Labelle, Vera Macdonald, Saniya Tariq and Madonna Vas Rodrigues.

Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan
Energy Conservation & Demand Management Plan 5 Year Planning Horizon July 2019 – July 2024 Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan Forward Osler is committed to supporting the exceptional care we deliver with efficient and sustainable facilities which minimize our carbon footprint and contribute to the health and wellness of our community. While we reflect with pride on our achievements in sustainability to date, we are not satisfied as we acknowledge the opportunities yet to be realized. This Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan (ECDM) provides renewed guidance and focus for sustainability at Osler as we look to the opportunities before us. Osler supports one of the fastest growing regions in Ontario and the demand for our services is ever growing. This growth drives the need for new facilities to support the growing demand and, while the addition of facilities inherently grow our physical footprint, Osler has committed to leverage the opportunity of new facilities to dilute our energy intensity through innovative and sustainable designs. The opening of Peel Memorial added 600,000 sq.ft. to our physical footprint, while at same time, reduced our energy intensity by 30%. This achievement results from a relentless focus on sustainability and Osler will continue to focus on the opportunities presented by redevelopment to dilute our energy intensity and green our aggregate footprint with the development of Peel Phase 2 over the next several years. While Osler benefits from occupying relatively new healthcare real estate, the complexities of multiple P3 sites have posed obstacles on our journey along our sustainability roadmap. As we strive to continuously optimize our facilities operations, our renewed ECDM seeks to transcend the constraints of the P3 environment through leveraging our partners to drive energy efficiency and sustainability.

Ontario Health Coalition Backgrounder Brampton Hospital Crisis Warnings and Broken Promises January 24, 2020
Ontario Health Coalition Backgrounder Brampton Hospital Crisis Warnings and Broken Promises January 24, 2020 For decades, proper planning has been ignored in developing Brampton’s hospital infrastructure. Repeated warnings from a wide array of groups were ignored. Promises regarding opening more beds and redeveloping the Peel Memorial Hospital have been broken and delayed repeatedly. According to Statistics Canada, Brampton’s population grew by more than 230,000 people from 2002 to 2016 (latest census) from 362,187 to 593,638 (almost double). In 2002, the District Health Council projected that the community would need 930 hospital beds by 2008. There are approximately 608 beds funded and in operation in the Brampton Civic Hospital and still no inpatient beds at the Peel Memorial site. (We have called the Brampton Civic Hospital to determine if the 37 additional temporary beds that were opened under Health Minister Eric Hoskins in 2017/18 are still open but could not obtain an answer in time for this release.) Brampton is extremely low in terms of the number of hospital beds per person, even by Ontario’s standards, and Ontario ranks at the bottom of Canada and developed nations. But a similar failure to plan, failure to listen to advocates and residents, and legacy of broken and false promises span decades in communities across Ontario even as the crisis in access to hospital care has worsened. This is what happened in Brampton. It is a microcosm of the unacceptable state of hospital capacity planning in Ontario: In 2003, the Halton-Peel District Health Council, which was the government body responsible for health care planning for the region, made a regional infrastructure plan that projected that by 2008, the community of Brampton and NW Peel would need 930 hospital beds.
