Pictured in his manufacturing plant in

Aurora, Ontario, Bill Rickard, President and

CEO of General Conveyor Co. Ltd., has

had many personal passions. As a promi-

nent Canadian manufacturer of automated

conveyor systems, Bill is fast becoming

known as a leading North American banjo

craftsman. This spring he will speak to

delegates at the Ontario Association of

Amputee Care conference about his latest

inventions which allow him to build banjos

with one hand. Three years ago, Bill was

critically injured in a motorcycle accident.

After a long and difficult recovery, Bill is

experiencing a new beginning. He is using

technical and business acumen to advance

his company’s automation systems for

global clients and to create new devices

that can be used by individuals with upper

limb amputations. Bill says rebuilding lives

after life-changing events should be about

focusing on “abilities”.

2 ST. JOHN’S REHAB HOSPITAL

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

Each year patients at St. John’s Rehab experience remarkable recoveries. They attribute their success to personal determination, support of family and having ahighly-skilled, committed team of health care professionalsassisting them to maximize function and independence.This 2004-2005 annual report celebrates the new beginningsthey have achieved after life-changing injuries or illness.Patients like Bill Rickard, pictured on our cover, exemplifyhow individuals reach beyond traditional boundaries inorder to achieve their rehabilitation goals.

As Ontario’s only hospital dedicated to specialized rehabili-tation, St. John’s Rehab has made great strides this past yearin introducing a number of care innovations while achiev-ing a balanced budget. This is due in part to increasedannual operating funding from the Ministry of Health andLong-Term care which recently recognized St. John’s as oneof the “pacesetter” hospitals in Ontario.

Having established a special niche in the health care sector,St. John’s Rehab began implementation of a seven-dayadmission and treatment rehabilitation care model.Currently, rehabilitation programs in Ontario are providedfive days a week. Our medical and clinical leadership groupagreed that by investing resources into this rehabilitationservice expansion, we can make it possible for many individ-uals to speed up and improve their recovery from strokes,orthopaedic and cardiovascular surgery. This initiative, andothers featured in the report, build on strong links estab-lished with our acute care referring hospitals which hasbeen a key strategic focus since 1999.

The opening of our transplant rehabilitation pro-gram, an initiative made possible through a part-nership with University Health Network, TorontoGeneral Hospital, will both improve patient out-comes and support more efficient use of health sys-tem resources. At the official launch ceremony inNovember 2004, Health Minister GeorgeSmitherman noted, “This is a good news story forpatients as well as the health care system…”

Another significant step forward in achieving ourvision is in the provincial government’s announce-ment of $3.5 million in funding to prepare to go totender for our $30 million redevelopment project.This major enhancement and expansion of theHospital’s outpatient and inpatient care areas willenable the organization to increase patient accessto specialized rehabilitation care thereby relievingacute care bed shortages and waiting lists.

Leading the campaign to support this redevelop-ment is St. John’s Rehab Foundation and a committed group of community and business lead-ers under The Honourable Art Eggleton. Throughtheir efforts, Rebuilding Lives, the first publicfundraising campaign in support of St. John’sRehab since it opened in 1937, is well on its way toreaching the $15 million goal.

Confident that the transformation of Ontario’shealth care system is moving in the right direction,the Hospital Board of Directors has begun a processto renew the Hospital’s vision and strategic direc-tions. Our vision, mission and future directions arebeing updated to reflect our highly specializedrehabilitation focus; to enhance our role as aunique health resource, to increase our teachingand research programs; and to build on our cultureof care that supports program and service excellence.

Nurturing and healing people whose lives havebeen changed as a result of major illness or injuryrequires a team who have a passion for specializedrehabilitation. Our staff, physicians, volunteers andSisters focus on people’s abilities rather than dis-abilities. Their commitment and dedication is at the heart of our success as a health care organization.

Malcolm Moffat Charles L. SeguinPresident and CEO Board Chair

For the past three years, while Charles Seguin served as Chair of the Board, the Hospital significantly advancedits vision to be at the forefront of specialized rehabilitation care. Quality, innovation, entrepreneurship andaccountability have been the hallmarks of his leadership. On behalf of everyone at St. John’s Rehab, we wouldlike to extend sincere appreciation to Charles for his many contributions.

“Our staff, physicians, volunteers andSisters focus on people’s abilities”



RANDYSMITH



Before St. Catherines resident Randy Smith could start hislife again following a double lung transplant, he needed special help along the way. His surgery had been a great success, but a post-operative complication left him in a comafor several weeks. When he arrived at St. John’s Rehab in2004, days after discharge from intensive care, he was seri-ously deconditioned and anxious about his future. Today,Randy is running a successful family business with his wifeKate and being a lacrosse dad to son Christopher.

What made the difference for Randy was a smooth transitiondirectly from acute care to Canada’s first dedicated inpatientrehabilitation program for organ transplant recipients. St. John’s Rehab developed and launched the program in 2004 in partnership with the Multi-Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital, University HealthNetwork.

Transplant patients can require specialized rehab because offactors such as a lengthy illness prior to surgery, respiratoryissues, loss of muscle mass and managing a complex regimen

of transplant drugs. “Our goal is to achieve better patientoutcomes,” says President and CEO Malcolm Moffat. “Theintegrated model of care created through this partnershipwith University Health Network will allow people recoveringfrom organ transplant surgery to make a smoother transitionback to good health, so they can return to their home andfamily as soon as possible, and regain their independenceand quality of life.”

St. John’s Rehab has six inpatient beds, which will serve upto 60 inpatients per year, as well as a comprehensive outpa-tient service to educate, monitor and support transplantrecipients.

The integrated model of care between St. John’s Rehab andUniversity Health Network will be supported through patientand team consultations using telemedicine technology andjoint research and education initiatives. Our long-term goalis to expand program links to other transplant surgical centres in Ontario.

TRANSPLANT REHABILITATION –ADVANCING CARE FOR PATIENTS, REDUCING HEALTH CARE COSTS

“Our goal is to achieve better patient outcomes”



INTEGRATING HEALTH INFORMATION –REHAB, COMMUNITY AND ACUTE CARE

With the advent of Local Health Integration Networks inOntario, and the evolution of St. John’s Rehab as a specializedrehab facility, it is expected that more patients with increasinglycomplex health needs from different geographic regions willbe referred to the Hospital. As a result, smooth referral systemsbecome critically important, which means fast, accurate sharing of information.

This is the objective of a unique collaboration with theUniversity Health Network, the Toronto and North YorkCommunity Care Access Centres and Bridgepoint Health.Through a shared CIO and management structure, the“Shared Information Management Services (SIMS)

Partnership” will focus on data integration andinformation sharing resulting in eReferrals,

an integrated care portal, wait timesimprovement, and integrated performance

management that are aligned with provincialand federal eHealth strategies. Partnership

projects will also create unique learning and advance-ment opportunities for professional staff not possible in

single organizations.

Until recently, patient transfers between acute care hospitals and special-ized rehabilitation facilities in the Greater Toronto region occurredMonday to Friday. St. John’s Rehab has introduced a seven-day admissionand treatment program that will allow patients to begin specialized reha-bilitation when they need it in order to achieve the best possible functionaloutcome.

The Seven Day Admission and Treatment Program will be completelyphased in by the end of 2005. For our patients, this means within days oftheir surgical procedure and treatment in intensive care or the emergencyroom, they will receive immediate rehabilitation treatment to speed up andimprove their recovery. Our acute care referring partners are supportive ofthis initiative, as it will assist them in relieving acute care bed pressures.

Total Joint Replacement Initiative

St. John’s Rehab is participating in a Ministry of Health funded initiativeto implement an integrated model of care for GTA total joint replacementpatients. This initiative will standardize best practices in orthopaedic care,reduce the total length of hospital stay and improve patients’ experienceacross the continuum of care. This project involves acute and communityhospitals, rehab hospitals, CCACs, the GTA Rehab Network, the OntarioJoint Replacement Registry and the Arthritis Society.

Joint replacement patients are being assigned to two care streams: threedays in acute care, seven days in inpatient rehab; or five days in acute care,discharge and rehab delivered at home. The Toronto Joint Network willtrack progress along care pathways and compare complication and read-mission rates, functional health status and patient satisfaction at threemonths post-surgery. It is anticipated that 50 percent of eligible patientswill be on the protocol by July 2005, with that percentage increasing in thelong term.

St. John’s Rehab teamed up this past year with the BaycrestCentre for Geriatric Care and Sunnybrook and Women’s CollegeHealth Sciences Centre to create a new partnership called the“Neuroscience Alliance”. Alliance members are committed toworking together to evolve as international leaders in cognitiveand rehabilitation neuroscience related to aging and brain dysfunction from stroke, mood disorders, head trauma, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.

The Neuroscience Alliance will help people gain access to thebest in neurological care, when and where they need it. As aresult of our collaboration with Baycrest and Sunnybrook &Women’s, patients and their caregivers will have access to morecomprehensive and effective care through a continuum of serv-ices from health promotion, to the acute phase of their disease,to rehabilitation and long-term management in the community,integrated with and supported by research and education.

The alliance will also help St. John’s Rehab address one of its strategic priorities – the development of a formal researchprogram.
