FY 2023/24 Results for GEM Projected Expenses

The OHA has been collaborating with the Ministry of Health (Ministry) to improve the predictability of funding allocations and to support hospitals with better forecasting for their funding allocations. Similar to last year, the Ministry has utilized the Growth and Efficiency (GEM) allocation funding model to calculate a hospital's share of potential fixed pot of incremental base funding. 

Enhancements and other updates have been implemented from last year's model. These include:

1. Data Years updated to 2023-24 and 2022-23

• ​In the previous year, due to pandemic disruptions to data, two non-consecutive years were used in GEM estimations to provide data stability.
• In the current year, the use of two consecutive years has now resumed.

2. Rehab Module

• ​​​​​Additional adjustments for rehab include specialty, non-acute/standalone facilities, and amalgamated facilities.​

​The FY 2023–24 preliminary results were shared with hospital members earlier this year, providing an opportunity to gain further insight into the provincial GEM projected unit costs. The finalized results are now available on the Health Data Branch Web Portal, accompanied by supplementary materials, including an FAQ.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the results, please contact the Ministry at
