“It took us a little bit to get to that. “We increased the scheduling time so that all the machines can be cleaned appropriately.“I have some absolutely fantastic leadership here. You have the inpatient unit on the opposite side, so the flow of this place and the square footage and the geography, it all makes perfect sense because it was designed that way – not for COVID-19 but for solid patient care and efficiency.”Being in a new building designed for efficiency was an advantage as hospital officials set up screeners for visitors and closed some entry points.From there, it was all systems go, although it was not the opening hospital officials planned for.“Probably the most surreal moment for me is that we just opened a hospital and not even a week later we’re closing . It all makes sense. Visiting is not allowed during this time. O’Donovan called the financial cost of suspending elective surgery “significant.”“And that’s significant for many hospitals because a lot of what you’re doing is elective surgeries, elective visits and all that,” he added.The hospital avoided furloughs for any of its 400 employees. Some programs we’re at 100 percent, other programs we’re at 90 percent, so we’ve rebounded quite well.”As for St. James’ new home, even some five months after it opened its doors during that frantic, historic week in mid-March, O’Donovan remains as excited as a child opening a big present on Christmas morning.“This place has absolutely exceeded my expectations,” he said. Sachin Manthuruthil, a St. James hospitalist, said there were twin concerns during those first days at the new hospital.“That was like a one-two thing for us because not only were we getting acclimated to the new building, the new workflow and figuring out where everything was, then we have the whole COVID thing, so we actually had to prepare the hospital in case we had a major surge,” Manthuruthil said. The opening times are: Weekdays: 8.45am to 1.45pm. “Also the U of R, what are they doing, and really following suit with them, making sure that we’re lockstep with the university and all of their safety precautions and guidelines.”While all this was going on, patient care staff had to adapt to a new setting in a high-stakes environment.

How do I protect my patients?’ And that’s exactly where we went,” O’Donovan said.The hospital had to quickly develop clinical guidelines and protocols for coronavirus.“Immediately I had my physician team and senior leadership and a lot of the senior nurse managers all get together and start looking at protocols, CDC guidelines,” O’Donovan said. We still do PPE and all that for patients and patients’ families to gown up,” O’Donovan said. A majority of the programs have responded quite well. In hardship times, everyone pulled through for the betterment of the hospital and for the patients.”The pandemic and the tight visitor restrictions it necessitated has resulted in fewer people getting an inside look at the hospital. So we automatically started going into our emergency preparedness mode.”Unlike the old St. James Hospital, with its additions built over the years and numerous entrances and exits available to visitors, the new building was designed with fewer ways to enter and with foot traffic directed with greater clarity.Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic at the old hospital “would have been much more chaotic because what we could do here, we could control our entrances,” O’Donovan said.
