Lakeshore General Hospital unveils new ICU as it struggles with staff shortages, overcrowding
“We’re going to increase the amount of nurses who are going to want to work here,” she said. “It’s more functional and with all the windows, that’s going to bring us some sun every day. It’s going to be very good for our souls.”It says the ICU is currently understaffed; employees are tired and overworked.
“The leadership is very proactive,” said Ramadori. “They are meeting several times a day, going over the situations, trying to really move patients actively through the hospital and other care centres.”Ramadori says the hospital plans to convert the former ICU into a cardiac unit, in hopes of offloading pressure on the emergency room in the future.
