In the last phase of 2006, the Rouge Valley Health System’s BOD started to understand the seriousness of the direction challenge set before them: save the amalgamated Scarborough Centenary Hospital as well as the Ajax and Pickering General Hospital, which was fiscally a “basket case,” or confront an imposed government takeover.
Triage at Rouge Valley Health System Case SolutionMost recently completed independent peer review ran from June through November 2007 came down hard on the former senior leadership team for poor performance and dearth of responsibility. To revoke the grave prognosis of the hospital, the board needed to perform triage: work with their new chief executive officer to discontinue the fiscal bleed, re-establish religion on the list of hospital’s senior management and work towards a fresh organizational culture.
