COMMUNITY PROFILE
During the past fiscal year (April 1, 1994 - March 31, 1995) the following
numbers of patients were treated:
Number of Inpatient Admissions 37,244
Number of Patient Days 316,766
Number of Outpatient Visits 451,156
Number of newborns 2,637
Almost 60 per cent of Toronto Hospital patients resided in Metro Toronto.
The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) accounts for an additional 16 per cent of
our patients.
Approximately one per cent of patients come from out of province or country.
(This one per cent is broken down into 374 patients who come from other
parts of Canada, and 126 from outside of the country. The highest percentage
of out-of-province/out-of-country cases occur in transplantation, general
surgery, pulmonary (lung) medicine and oncology).
Two-thirds of the patients come from the City of Toronto. North York and
Scarborough each
contribute 10 per cent or more to our volume of patients.
When combined with statistics for patients seen in all Metro Toronto Hospitals,
The Toronto Hospital provided 10 per cent of all inpatient care in the Metro
Toronto market. These figures are derived using primary service area data
which describe the geographic area from which 60-80 per cent of the hospital's
discharge originate.
