Our 2019-2020 Achievements
Joseph Brant Hospital’s 2017 – 2022 Strategic Plan guides our journey of continuous
improvement – it is the catalyst for our plans, our progress and our achievements from
the past year. Our strategic directions are:
1. Relentlessly pursue excellence in quality
and patient safety.
We will continue to meet and exceed our ambitious
goals to advance towards the highest level of quality
and safety, provide for exceptional patient and
family/caregiver experiences, and meet the needs for
operational efficiency and effectiveness.
2. Inspire and empower a culture of caring
We succeed through the unwavering dedication of
our physicians, staff, learners and volunteers, and their
ability to understand and share in the experiences
of our patients and their families/caregivers. As a
community teaching hospital, we remain committed
to continuously enhancing our culture of care that is
innovative and focused on building on the strengths of
our people and working with those we serve.
3. Collaborate to deliver an outstanding care
experience.
We will enhance coordination of our internal patient
care activities to improve our overall delivery of
services. As well, we will engage in collaborative
planning efforts with our local and sub-region
partners across the continuum of care to provide
more streamline and patient-oriented services to
realize better health outcomes for our patients and
community.
These are highlights of how we advanced these areas in 2019 – 2020:
EXPANSION OF THE MRI PROGRAM
In 2018, JBH embarked on a project to expand
the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) program,
with the addition of two new MRI units. This
project was completed in early 2020, following
the installation of the two MRI units.
The two additional MRI units enable JBH to
perform a wider spectrum of MRI services not
previously available in Burlington, including
breast and prostate imaging. The new machines
have a larger sized bore and a built-in theatre
system, which projects virtual reality images
inside the bore, reducing claustrophobia and
patient anxiety. This means more accurate
diagnoses for patients, more detailed information
for physicians, and better health outcomes for
our patients.
