Doug Ford government paying for-profit clinic more than hospitals for OHIP-covered surgeries, documents show

The documents show provincial agency Ontario Health contracted Don Mills Surgical Unit Ltd. at the following per-surgery funding rates in each of the three fiscal years starting from 2020-21:

• $1,264 for each procedure classed as minor complexity (such as cataract surgery)

• $4,037 for each moderate complexity surgery (such as a laparoscopic gallbladder removal)

• $5,408 for each higher-complexity surgery (such as repairing a large tear of a rotator cuff).

The funding rates do not include how much the surgeon bills OHIP for each operation. The physician's billing for a particular OHIP-covered surgery is identical whether it takes place in a hospital or a private clinic. ---

What's the purpose of strategy statements and other "corporate plans" in office culture

What exactly is accomplished when corporate culture sits everybody down and has a power point about the strategy, business goals for the next year.

Stuff like saying "our new plan is focusing on areas like key player, resilience and fast resource adaption to better serve customers". Stuff that seems super abstract and boil down to "worker faster or harder" or saying that whats important to the company are "customers, excellent products and people who make products" but said over an hour and mixed in with corporate jargon

It seems like a ton of work goes into these things but its all not usable information. So what is it that these scrum master project managers and higher executives hope to achieve at the end of these calls?
