YOUR IMPACT

SURGICAL SERVICES

Chronic sinusitis is a very common problem affecting up to 30% of the population sometime during
their lifetime. Endoscopic sinus surgery is used to help manage and sometimes cure chronic sinusitis.
The Microdebrider is the most commonly used powered instrument in endoscopic sinus surgeries for
soft tissue and bone removal. It allows our surgeons to safely perform more thorough sinus surgery, and
improves their efficiency resulting in an increased number of procedures being performed in a day.

VITAL EQUIPMENT
The Incubator Transport Stretcher has made a positive impact to our smallest patients at GBGH. Approximately
3% of babies born at GBGH require a higher level of care at our partnering site Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital.
With advanced hydraulics and ease of use, the transfer of the incubator from ground to ambulance is seamless,
keeping these little ones secured and safe. The powered incubator stretcher provides stability and safety while
reducing the risk of caregiver back strain and lost time due to injuries.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

Tonometry is a diagnostic test using a Tono-pen that is shaped like a large marker that measures the pressure
inside your eye, which is called intraocular pressure (IOP). This measurement can help the physicians at GBGH
determine whether or not you may be at risk of glaucoma and is an important piece of diagnostic equipment.
Tonometry can also be used for trauma cases where high intraocular pressures occur and eye specialists are
required for further treatment.

MEDITECH EXPANSE (CARE4)

The implementation of a completely digital medical record system at GBGH is underway, with a target go-live
date of September 2021. This new electronic software platform will allow us to eliminate countless paper
based systems and processes and create a truly digital health care environment which will lead to multiple
improvements and efficiencies across the entire hospital.
