Recent Accomplishments

Transformation of the Emergency Pre-Triage

This project transformed the emergency pre-triage station into a fully equipped triage room, improving assessment times, patient safety, and overall department flow, while enhancing the quality of care and patient experience.

Geriatric Chairs in Emergency Department

Geriatric chairs are essential in the Emergency Department, providing safe, comfortable, and dignified seating for older adults who may not tolerate stretchers or standard chairs. Their ergonomic design with higher seats and sturdy armrests helps reduce fall risk, support safe transfers, and improve posture for patients with mobility or balance challenges.

Massage Therapy for Oncology Patients

Massage therapy interventions have been used to alleviate the symptoms and side effects of treatment and to meet the psychosocial needs of people with cancer. The massage therapist visits the department 3 days a week to support patients awaiting treatment in the oncology clinic.

AED Training Model

Dedicated training AEDs are a cost-effective and essential tool for preparing our healthcare team to respond to cardiac emergencies. It is providing a realistic, safe environment to practice without delivering a real shock, enhancing confidence and efficiency. Regular hands-on training has also improved team coordination, decision-making, and response times during Code Blue situations, while preserving clinical AEDs for patient use.

Endoscopy Scopes

The addition of the pediatric and therapeutic endoscopy scopes significantly advances patient care, especially for complex gastrointestinal conditions. They enhance our ability to diagnose and treat cancers of the upper and lower digestive tracts, diverticular disease, and esophageal disorders such as strictures, Barrett’s esophagus, and motility issues. By providing more precise and versatile tools, these scopes support earlier interventions, more accurate diagnoses, and better outcomes for our patients.

Digital Transformation

By strengthening the digital transformation footprint at Lakeshore General Hospital, access to accurate, real-time patient information is enhanced, supporting safer and more coordinated clinical decision-making. At the same time, streamlined digital systems help ease administrative workload, allowing care teams to focus more fully on their patients.

Psychiatry Renovation

Renovating the Psychiatry Department at Lakeshore Hospital is a vital investment in patient care, safety, and dignity. The updated spaces will create a more therapeutic environment that supports healing, improves flow and infection control, and meets modern clinical standards while addressing growing demand in the West Island. This ongoing transformation reflects Lakeshore’s commitment to strengthening mental health care and supporting both patients and care teams.
