Bluewater Health says it will hire additional triage nurses with the $929,000 in funding incentives announced by the Liberal government yesterday

as part of its Pay-for-Results program to reduce emergency room wait times (Sarnia Observer, July 30, 2010).

The report says the funding is “essentially a bribe” to meet performance targets. The targets are to have 90 per cent of patients with high needs treated within eight hours and within four hours for those with lesser needs. The LHIN says the $4.4-million in total incentive funding will be split between Bluewater Health, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital, Leamington District Memorial Hospital and Windsor Regional Hospital.
