Minutes Recreation Board The minules of the Recreation Board meeting of March 9. 1999 were received as infonnation Minutes ofF.e.S.S. Boanl The minutes of the F.e.5.S. meeting of March It. 1999 were received as information. Mary LYRn MacKenzie reported on the Gatewav Advocates and ach";sed Council that the F.C.S.S. Board does not recommend thaI the T;wn of Sylvan Lake acccpt any involvement with this project for the follo'"-ing reasons; the funding from the Federal Government to run this program is very temporary. Federal funds are available for a six to eight month tcnn only with a possibility of an extension to March 2000 at the latest. The program as presented has some flaws - there is no provision for long term follow up of clients, after two months they would be cut adrift and these cHents are people who nol only lack or have difficulty developing job skills. they also have problems with social skills, life management and in some cases serious, chrome health challenges. The clients would need ongoing support. There is no provision in the budget for adminiSlJation costs. The Town would be required to take on two persons as employees. This would make the TO"ll liable for employee benefits, tax (CPP & EI) and for the actions of those emplo}"ees and the program they run The proposal calls for servicing a client base with vastly different disabilities that require very different skills and training from the facilitator. The TO\\ll of Sylvan Lake does have a need for a program similar 10 the one proposed. Red Deer does offer employment services however they are too busy 10 service the rural areas and it is not economically viable for them to tIavel to Sylvan and prm'ide employment support here.

We check approx. 500 homes and found that approx. 90% ofthe dog owners had not purchased a dog license for this year or in past years. The door to door survey was followed up with a letter and a due date for a licensepurchase. As a result ofthis we sold approx. 530 tags since the new year. This is a substantial increase over past years. Who ever takes over from me will have to contact Jim deBoon in order to complete the survey in the fall. It should be noted that to date I have laid 58 charges for failing to purchase a dog license. I feel we achieved the compliance we wanted, which is evident from the low number ofcharges laid. I would like to take this opponunity to thank Council for their support throughout my time with the Town. You as a Council made my job very easy. I would hope that I made a difference in Town and that who ever takes over will continue with the program. I also want to thank the staff for all the good times we had, and special thanks to Lyle for the crib lessons. My regular days offwith the City are Sunday and Monday so I will be out occassionally for a coffee and a healthy dose ofabuse. 13 PRAlRIE BAILIFF SERVICES (RED DEER)LTD. 300, 4808 ROSS STREET RED DEER, ALBERTA T4N 1XS Phone: (403) 340-1590 Fax:(403) 342-4962 Cell:357..8999 TOWN OF SYLVAN LAKE 4926-501H AVENUE SLVAN LAKE, ALBERTA T4S 1A1 06 March, 1999 YOUR FILE NO: TAX ROLL ARREARS Invoice: 99030194 Att'n: RAYMacINTOSH Re: ST GELAIS & TlMMERMAN FlUNG FEE $50.00 SEIZURE $100.00 30 KMS @ $0.40 $12.00 REGISTER SE1ZURE $35.00 SUB-TOTAL 61~7.90~ GST (#887985554) $13.79 TOTAL --$210.79 14 ~~,ql fo ~Utt01lV2U ~ PRAIRIE BAILIFF SERVICES (RED Dl!..b_ 300, 4808 ROSS STREET RED DEER, ALBERTA T4N 1X5 Phone: (403) 340-1590 Fax:(403) 342-4962 Cell:357-8999 TOWN OF SYLVAN LAKE 4926-50TII AVENUE SLVANLAKE, ALBERTA T4S tAt 06 March, 1999 YOUR FlLE NO: TAX ROLL ARREARS mvoice: 99030193 Att'n: RAY MacINTOSH Re: ELDON C.

The Report confirms that Government's intent was to safeguard the publicly funded health system and that Bill 37 was consistent with all of the principles of the Canada Health Act. The independent review was initiated last November following considerable public misunderstanding and differing opinion on the potential impact of Bill 37. The review was to ensure that the proposed legislation met government's intent of protecting the publicly funded health system. The primary conclusions reached by the review Panel were: 1. Bill 37 was a complex and technical piece of legislation that could not and should not be interpreted in a simplistic fashion. 2. The govemment's intention with Bill 37 was to safeguard the public health care system and that would have been accomplished through several sections of the Bill. The Panel found that the publicly funded health system was not put in jeopardy by the legislation but that wording of some parts ofthe legislation caused confusion and needed further refinement. 3. The Panel found no evidence to support allegations that Bill 37 contravened any of the principles of the Canada Health Act. 4. The Panel agreed that without Bill 37 or similar legislation there would exist a legislative gap which would inhibit govemment's ability to prohibit or control private treatment facilities. The Panel made several recommendations on how best to fill the gap. 5. The Panel concluded that Bill 37 did not and could not completely define the limitations of private health providers, in that under the Canada Health Act private facilities would still have been able to serve uninsured persons such as Workers' Compensation Board Members. -more- I T-oWN OF SYLVAN I:AKE -2- Stated Jonson, "I am pleased that this independent review of Bill 37 confirmed the commitment and intent of our govemment to protect the publicly funded health system through that legislation and confirmed the consistency of Bill 37 with the principles of the Canada Health Act." He added, "The panel of experts has confirmed, through a neutral review that the allegations of opponents of the Bill were unfounded. Those inaccurate and simplistic allegations undoubtedly were a contributing factor to public confusion about the legislation." The major recommendations of the review panel with respect to legislation were: A. Make a distinction between hospital and non-hospital procedures based on the medically supervised post-operative recovery time. Surgical procedures allowing for the safe discharge of a patient within 12 hours of the surgery could be performed in hospitals or non-hospital surgical facilities. B. Insured procedures with a recovery time of less than 12 hours would only be performed in a non-hospital surgical facility if there was a contract with a Regional Health Authority and if that contract was approved by the Minister of Health. This is consistent with the approach taken in Bill 37. C. As an interim step legislation be brought forward that would give the Minister of Health authority to regulate treatment facilities seeking to provide uninsured services requiring a stay of more than 12 hours. This is consistent with the approach outlined in Bill 37, as amended in the Fall 1998 Legislative Session. D. As part of the interim step the Panel suggested, legislation include the authority for the Minister of Health to regulate private treatment facilities seeking to provide insured services requiring more than a 12 hour stay, as long as such services were under contract to a Regional Health Authority and the contract was approved by the Minister. This would be consistent with the approach proposed by Bill 37 prior to the November, 1998 amendment which would have prohibited such facilities from providing regulated insured services. E. As a longer-term step bring forward legislation which would give the Minister of Health the authority to ensure all major surgical procedures, insured and non insured are performed in an approved hospital, but that such hospitals could potentially be operated by regional health authorities, the voluntary sector, or the private sector subject to approval by the Minister following an assessment of the impact on the public system. Such a broad approach was not addressed in Bill 37. -more- 18 -3- In commenting on the Panel's recommendations Jonson stated. "It is important that we now conduct a very thorough review of the Panel's recommendations for legislation. We need to be certain that actions taken will be in the best interests of our health system over the longer term. I look forward to hearing from Albertans on the Panel's report and recommendations: Jonson added, "This govemment's priority is to ensure all Albertans have access to a quality publicly funded and administered health system, consistent with the principles of the Canada Health Act. We will take the actions necessary to ensure that happens." The Bill 37 Review Panel was made up ot • The Chair, Peter Lown, Q. C., Director of the Alberta Law Reform Institute and a Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Alberta. • Muriel Abdurahman, former Liberal MLA for Clover Bar-Fort Saskatchewan and former Mayor of Fort Saskatchewan.

Our task was to conduct a detailed review ofthe wording ofBill 37 to ensure that it fully met the government's stated objective ofprotecting Alberta's publicly funded health care system from the potential negative effects ofprivate treatment facilities and to ensure consistency with the principles of the Canada Health Act. We have done so. The Review Panel has drawn a few conclusions about Bill 37 and our task. First, Bill 37 and its amendment are complex and technical pieces of legislation. Second, due to this complexity, the Bill is not easy to comprehend and consequently easy to misconstrue. Third, despite its technical nature, the Panel could not point to any particular detail or facet of the Bill that violated the Canada Health Act. And fourth, the Bill did anempt to protect the public health system, but we found its approach could have been strengthened. Given the above, the Panel found there was a need to approach the Bill from a different perspective. The Bill 37 Review Panel recommends an approach which, we suggest, will clarify and simplify any resulting legislation. This new approach does not concentrate on the facility, but on the safe discharge of a patient from medical care given clear standards. We would like to thank those Albertans who took the time to make written submissions to the Panel on the Bill. Their efforts are much appreciated. The Panel trusts that the recommendations within this report assist you in your deliberations regarding future legislation.

This panel was to conduct a detailed review of the wording of the Bill to ensure it fully met the govemmenfs stated objectives of protecting Alberta's publicly funded health system from the potential negative effects of private treatment facilities and to ensure consistency with the principles of the Canada Health Act. The Panel's terms of reference were to: • Determine whether Bill 37 meets the governmenfs stated objective of safeguarding the public health system; • Ensure that the Bill meets the requirements of the principles of the Canada Health Act; • Determine if, in the absence of such a bill, a legislative gap exists which inhibits governmenfs ability to prohibit or control private health facilities; • Determine if the Bill preserves the pUblic health system by clearly defining the limitations on the role of non-public health providers; and • Advise the Minister of Health of any modifications required to Bill 37 to enhance clarity. In late December 1998, and early January 1999, letters of invitation were sent to over 30 local, provincial, and national groups and organizations asking for their input given the Panel's terms of reference. In total, the Panel received 49 separate submissions from various individuals or groups. Additionally, the Panel examined infonmation it requested from government and non-government organizations. In examining the Bill, there was a need to understand the historical and present day context of the health care system in Alberta. Historically, Alberta has always had a multifaceted health care system involving a balance of public and private health care funding. There is, and always has been, a debate on the possibility of private delivery of services in a publicly administered and funded system. Bill 37 and its amendment could have an effect on this balance. In examining the Bill in great detail, the Panel found the following. First, Bill 37 and its amendment are complex and technical pieces of legislation. Second, due to this complexity, the Bill is not easy to comprehend and consequently easy to misconstrue. Third, despite its complex and technical nature, the Panel could find no evidence to support the allegations that Bill 37 offended the principles of the Canada Health Act. And fourth, the Bill did attempt to protect the public health system, but we found its approach could have been strengthened. Given the above, the Panel found there was a need to approach the Bill from a different perspective. 18 3 Section A below contains a brief summary of the first four points. Section B contains the Panel's recommendations for improvement, including a new two-step approach the Panel believes will assist the Minister in his responsibility to protect Alberta's publicly funded system. Section A 1. Determine whether Bill 37 meets the government's stated objective of safeguarding the public health system. Response 1 From the submissions, the Panel noted two themes. The first was the govemmenfs objective for safeguarding the public health care system was neither clearly nor strongly stated. The second was that regulated services were the lynchpin to the operation of the statute and concerns were raised that these regulations had not been made available to the public. Upon examination, the Panel concluded that the governmenfs stated intention with Bill 37 and its amendment was to safeguard the public health care system. This was accomplished in two sections. First, Bill 37's amendment to the Alberta Health Care Insurance Act (Section 1(1) and 1(2)) created a clearer supervisory control over non hospital surgical facilities. The second area was the amendment to the Hospitals Act (Section 2(1) and 2(2)) for insurance coverage of residence charges. This section ensured a patient could acquire insurance to cover residential costs wherever prOVided. The public health care system was not in jeopardy with the implementation of these two amendments. However, the amendment dealing with the creation of a new classification of health facility (treatment facility) caused some confusion. The Panei recognized that a treatment facility was, in effect, a private hospital offering uninsured services. This section required further review and refinement. 2. Ensure that the Bill meets the requirements of the principles of the Canada Health Act Response 2 With respect to this point, the Panel noted a broad range of comment from submissions, letters, and briefs. Some thought Bill 37 met the criteria of the Canada Health Act while others thought that while the letter of the law was clear, the spirit of the House amendment could be more precise. 18 ------4 After an exhaustive review of this issue, the Panel could find no evidence to support the allegation that Bill 37 offended the principles of the Canada Health Act. 3. Determine if, in the absence of such a bill, a legislative gap exists which inhibits govemmenfs ability to prohibit or control private health facilities. Response 3 The Review Panel concurs with the majority of respondents who wrote providing the opinion that a legislative gap would exist if Bill 37 and its amendment were not implemented. Additionally, the Panel recognized that a legislative gap could also exist even if Bill 37 and its amendment were implemented. A close examination of the Bill revealed a treatment facility could obtain College accreditation and, without approval by the Minister, offer unregulated surgical services. In our recommendations below, the Panel provides a two-stage process to deal with this gap - an interim and a longer term measure. 4. Determine if the Bill preserves the public health system by clearly defining the limitations on the role of non-public health providers. Response 4 Not completely. Given the explanation in the previous point, the Bill could have inadvertently allowed treatment facilities to provide medical services without the Minister effectively being able to control them. The Panel noted that the definition of insured health services to insured persons under the Canada Health Act excludes Workers' Compensation Board cases and armed forces personnel, members of the RCMP, and prisoners. Therefore, under the Canada Health Act and the Workers' Compensation Board Act a legal means clearly exists for private health facilities to serve a segment of the Canadian population. Section B Having reviewed the questions posed to it and the issues arising from them, the Panel makes the following suggestions for implementing the policy objectives contained in Bill 37. 18 ------5 Recommendation No. 1 Where the residential component cost of care may be legitimately charged to a patient in a hospital, auxiliary hospital, or nursing home, the patient should be able to insure against such a cost The Panel concurred with the view that the proposed amendment to the Hospitals Actis consistent with this policy and should be implemented. This recommendation recognizes that the compartments (auxiliary hospital, nursing home, etc.) through which the underlying policy was originally carried out are no longer watertight or accurate. The recommendation states the underlying policy so that other statutes and regulations can be appropriately measured against it. Recommendation No.2 The distinction between hospital and non-hospital procedures should be based on the principle of required recovery time, i.e. the safe discharge of the patient within 12 hours of completion of the surgical procedure. This recommendation recognizes the current method of determining what surgical procedures can be performed in different types of facilities. It reflects current accepted • standards for what may occur in non-traditional hospitai settings, and forms the basis of the new bylaws endorsed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for accreditation purposes. The College bylaw is as follows: Section 43(2)(k) - Permitted surgical procedures are those procedures which will safely allow the discharge of a patient from medical care in the facility within 12 hours of completion of the surgical procedure by a registered practitioner. See Appendix C for College of Physicians and Surgeons bylaws referenced in this section of the report. Recommendation No.3 Those surgical procedures listed in Section 43(4), and which comply with Section 43(2)(k) [that is less than 12 hours safe discharge], may be performed in an "approved hospital or a non-hospital surgical facility." If the procedure is provided in a non-hospital surgical facility and to a person insured under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan, the following two conditions must be met: • The procedures are provided under a contract entered into with the Regional Health Authority; and • The contract has been approved by the Minister. 18 ------,6 We note that uninsured services can be performed in both. This recommendation recognizes the current situation, formalizes it, and adds greater control on the insured side by requiring both the RHA contract and Ministerial approvaL A matrix of checks and requirements for such contracts should be developed by the Department of Health to ensure that the contracted out activity is subject to appropriate review and scrutiny. A TWO-STEP PROCESS The Panel recognized the purpose of Bill 37 and its amendment was to ultimately deal with the issue of an accredited private health care facility that delivered major surgical services to uninsured persons. Bill 37 proposed a new category called "treatment facility" and proposed an application procedure with services to be listed in regulations. The public was sceptical of the concept especially given that the scope of the operations and prohibition was to depend on regulations to be created in the future. Given Recommendation 2, the best description of a treatment facility is a private hospital offering uninsured services. (The House Amendment to Bill 37 would have restricted a treatment facility to uninsured regulated services.) The Panel does not believe that facilities, which are essentially hospitals, should be able to operate outside and independently of the overall health care system. To address this issue, the Panel recommends a two-step process. STEP ONE Recommendation No.4 A temporary and transparent measure be implemented which provides the Minister with the legislative power and the responsibility for the regulation of approved hospital facilities providing both uninsured or insured services within the Alberta health care system. In effect, this recommendation creates two possibilities. A. Private Hospital Solely Conducting Uninsured Services. If an approved hospital facility wants to restrict its operations to uninsured services (as defined), then it must first secure Ministerial approval and cannot offer any insured services under that approval. The approved hospital must also recognize that offering uninsured services at this stage will be an interim step, given recommendation five below. Before granting an approval, the Minister must be satisfied that long-term sustainability of the delivery system is not compromised, the approval is in the public interest, and may consider any other relevant factors. 1 8 B. Private Hospital Contracted by the Health Authority. Insured services can be offered in either a health authority facility or under contract with the health authority. If the latter, the services come under the Canada Health Act umbrella and must meet the five program criteria and must include the prohibition on extra billing and facility fees. If a health authority determines that it should contract for certain services, the Minister must review and approve the contract to ensure that patient needs will be appropriately met, the long-term sustainability of the public delivery system will not be compromised, there is no major impact on the overall delivery system, and the contract can be justified in the public interest. Any facility must first be accredited by the College. Upon implementation of the above, an interim means of closing a legislative gap now exists which assists government in the prohibition or control of private hospitals. STEP TWO The Bill 37 Review Panel advocates that the Department of Health should move as quickly as possible to develop a new legislative framework that better co-ordinates the delivery of insured and uninsured services in Alberta's health care system. The requirement that all major surgical procedures take place in an approved hospital is an appropriate way of ensuring that the Minister who has the responsibility for the overall system also has control of all elements within it. Recommendation No.5 All surgical procedures not listed in Section 43(4) or which cannot comply with Section 43(2)(1<) must be performed in an approved hospital. This recommendation builds on recent bylaws created by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. These bylaws created a standard for surgical procedures and safe patient discharge within a prescribed time-period. The approach is equally applicable to the approval of facilities in which procedures should be carried out. The standard is whether a patient can be safely discharged within twelve hours of completion of the surgical procedure by a registered physician. The approved hospital concept forces the co-ordination of delivery of insured and uninsured services. The Panel recognizes that the Ministerial approval of hospitals and the College accreditation of facilities are independent but complementary processes. It should be made clear that even though a facility could gain College accreditation, the facility's ability to operate within the Alberta health care system depends upon receiving Ministerial approval. 18 8 An approved hospital must: • Be accredited by the College of Physicians and Surgeons (or the appropriate accrediting body); • Meet the requirements of the Hospitals Ad; and • Operate within the principles of the Canada Health Act. Given the above, an applicant for an approved hospital could be: •A hospital presently owned and run by a health authority; •A volunteer hospital; •A workers' compensation board hospital; •A Federal Government hospital; •A private hospital (il approved under the interim measure); and •A new applicant. Each 01 these applicants have their own particular legislative or constitutional context. However, the interim measure would disappear, and all applications lor an "approved hospital" must first satisfy the test of whether the proposal will meet the needs of the health authority's plan to deliver patient services. The operation of any approved hospital providing insured or uninsured services, must meet the following criteria: • Serves the current and future patient needs in the geographic area to be served; • Has no major negative impact on the publicly funded health system in Alberta; • Is in the public interest; and • Satisfies any other factors the Minister and Department of Health consider to be relevant. Recommendation No.6 Bill 37 should be replaced with three separate initiatives dealing with the three separate acts which should be amended. Those acts are the Alberta Health Care Insurance Act, the Hospitals Act, and the Medical Profession Act By doing so, the Minister will be able to properly deal with the respective pieces of legislation and reduce the confusion that was attached to Bill 37. 1 The Panel nores that the Hospitals Act may require some updating to accommodate our recommendations. 18 9 INTRODUCTION • On December 4, 1998, the Honourable Halvar Jonson, Minister of Health, announced the Blue Ribbon Panel on Bill 37. The Panel's name was fonmally changed to the Bill 37 Review Panel at a subsequent date. This Panel was to conduct a detailed review of the wording of the Bill to ensure it fUlly met the government's stated objectives of protecting Alberta's publicly funded health system from the potential negative effects of private treatment facilities and to ensure consistency with the principles of the Canada Health Act. The Panel was chaired by Mr. Peter Lawn, a.c., Director of the Alberta Law Refonm Institute; with Panel members including Mrs. Muriel Abdurahman, former Liberal MLA for Clover Bar-Fort Saskatchewan and a fonmer nurse; Mr. Jack Ady, fonmer Minister of Advanced Education and Career Development and the fonmer MLA for Cardston-Ghief Mountain; Dr. Bill Anderson, Past-President of the Alberta Medical Association; and Mrs. Jean Graham, Chair of the Provincial Health Authorities Council of Chairs and the Chair of the David Thompson Regional Health Authority. The Panel's Terms of Reference The Panel's terms of reference were to: • Determine whether Bill 37 meets the government's stated objective of safeguarding the public health system; • Ensure that the Bill meets the requirements of the principles of the Canada Health Act, • Determine if, in the absence of such a bill, a legislative gap exists which inhibits government's ability to prohibit or control private health facilities; • Detenmine if the Bill preserves the public health system by clearly defining the limitations on the role of non-public health providers; and • Advise the Minister of Health of any modifications required to Bill 37 to enhance clarity. The Review Process In late December 1998, and early January 1999, letters of invitation were sentto over 30 groups and organizations asking for their input given the Panel's tenms of reference. These letters were sent to local, provincial, and national groups and organizations who had been on record as commenting on Bill 37 or were current health care providers. Invitees were asked to return written submissions to the Panel by January 22,1999, however, the Panel accepted submissions up to late February. In addition to the letters, a number of telephone calls were received by the Panel asking about the public's role in 18 ------10 providing comment. Members of the public were encouraged to write to the Panel. In total, the Panel received 49 submissions from various individuals or groups. (See Appendix A for contributors.) All those writing a submission to the Panel were asked to respond to the following four points: • Determine whether Bill 37 meets the government's stated objective of safeguarding the public health system; • Ensure that the Bill meets the requirements of the principles of the Canada Health Act, • Determine if, in the absence of such a bill, a legislative gap exists which inhibits government's ability to prohibit or control private health facilities; and • Determine if the Bill preserves the public health system by clearly defining the limitations on the role of non-public health providers. Technical Information In addition to the written submissions, the Panel examined information it requested from the Department of Health, the Alberta Law Reform Institute, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (College). The purpose for seeking such information was three-fold: first, to assist the Panel in gaining a better sense of Bill 37; second, to seek an unbiased opinion as to the written intention of the legislation; and third, to understand the role the College of Physicians and Surgeons undertakes in the accreditation process of a health facility. For the purpose of clarity, a Glossary of Terms can be found in Appendix B. This glossary acted as the guide for the review Panel when using terms or phrases within this document. 18 ------11 COMPLEX LEGISLATION Bill 37 and its amendment are complex and technical pieces of legislation. It required a great deal of study and review to understand the intricacies of the Bill. Overall, the legislation calls for the amending of three other acts - the Alberta Health Care Insurance Act. the Hospitals Act, and the Medical Profession Act. Bill 37 also introduced new terms and classifications of health facilities - specifically, the non hospital surgical facility and the treatment facility. Additionally, it calls for certain prohibitions upon types of health care delivery. Bill 37 and its amendment are not simplistic pieces of legislation, nor should they be read and interpreted in such a fashion. The Panel took time to review the legislation, not only against the above mentioned acts, but also against the Canada Health Act, the Regional Health Authorities Act, and the Nursing Homes Actto gain an understanding of what the legislation was trying to accomplish. Important in this review was the Panel gaining an understanding of the role the College of Physicians and Surgeons performs in the accreditation of health care facilities and those who provide professional medical services within them. Bill 37 and its amendment caused heated debate. The Bill 37 Review Panel was very cognizant of the debate that existed surrounding the legislation. Through their submissions, individuals, groups, companies, and organizations strongly advocated the effect they thought the legislation would have on Alberta's and Canada's public health care system. While some people felt Bill 37 would lead to the demise of our present public health care system, others felt it would strengthen the system. The Review Panel appreciated those who forwarded additional information about the public health care system in Canada and abroad. Bill 37 and its amendment are part of a broader discussion dealing with health care. In addition to the Bill 37 Panel, the government is seeking the opinions of Albertans on health care through several other means. The Health Summit '99 and the Broda Committee are but two other examples. Thus, the Review Panel's role was not to deliberate on the health care system as a whole, but to review Bill 37 as an important component of that system. Given the above, the Bill 37 Review Panel thoroughly examined and scrutinized the Bill and its amendment. All submissions to the Panel were read and taken into consideration. At the same time, the Review Panel was mindful that its task was to review the legislation and provide the Minister with recommendations against the,five points laid out in its terms of reference. This report is the culmination of a great deal of work regarding a complex and technical piece of legislation. 18 ------12 THE HISTORY OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY IN ALBERTA Health care is a provincial responsibility. However, the development of Alberta's health care system comes from a strong background of local, provincial, and national initiatives. Alberta has always had a multifaceted health care system. Early hospitals were built and run by voluntary, often faith based, organizations. Later, municipal hospitals were built by the provincial government to serve its citizens while the federal government constructed hospitals to serve the Armed forces, the RCMP, Treaty Indians, and persons in federal penitentiaries. Doctors ran their practices inside and outside of the hospital setting to provide preventative and curative medical services. Eventually, doctors set up their private clinics in various communities and obtained local hospital privileges. In 1957, the federal government passed the Hospital Insurance and Diagnostic Services Act which, for the first time, made funding available to the provinces on a 50150 cost sharing basis for hospital services. The introduction of medical care plans for the payment of physician services was introduced in 1963 in Alberta. In 1968, the Medical Care Act was introduced by the federal govemment which provided for medical care services and was funded 50150 by the federal and provincial governments. This program became known as the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements and Established Program Financing Act in 1977. Today, monies are transferred to the provinces through the Canada Health and Social Transfer Fund and federally contributed amounts fall significantly below the fifty- percent mark. One of the next important milestones in Canadian health care history was the passage of the Canada Health Act in 1984. Five principles within the Canada Health Act require the health care insurance plans of all provinces to be publicly administered, comprehensive, universal, portable, and accessible. It is against this Act that provincial health care legislation and regulations are measured to determine if full federal funding is entitled. The federal government, on occasion, has been quick to admonish provincial governments for the passage of legislation, or the adoption of programs, that may violate the above noted five principles. As an example, the federal government penalized Alberta in 1995-96 by withholding transfer payments until the provincial government banned facility fees for insured services being levied by its physicians. It is important that uniform standards for the enforcement of the program criteria operate across Canada. Alberta's multifaceted health care system functions well given the many dedicated contributors who work under the auspices of the Canada Health Act. 18 ------13 Today, approximately 4,500 physicians are private businesspeople who bill Alberta's public health care system and who submit claims for services provided to the public health care system. This includes the local doctors office, walk-in clinics, lab and radiology facilities. The provision of health care services to Alberta's frail and elderly has also taken place within a system of pUblicly, charitably, and privately run long-term care facilities. For decades, the residents of Alberta's nursing homes and some auxiliary hospitals have been taken care of by dedicated staff who may work within a public, charitable or private health care setting. All of this activity is within the terms of the Canada Health Act Prior to regionalization, Alberta had over 250 hospital boards across the province. These boards had responsibility for the delivery of health care in their area. Like the 19 health authorities which exist today, these boards used privately owned and operated non-hospital surgical facilities to deliver part of the services to the people in their area. Today, there are 51 non-hospital surgical facilities operating across the province, once again, within the terms of the Canada Health Act. The purpose of this section is not to cast judgment on the history and the development of the health care system in Alberta. Nor is it to debate and justify the amount of publicly or privately delivered health care within the province. Its purpose is to equip the reader with the context within which the Bill 37 Review Panel went about its task. Alberta, in fact all of Canada, has a health care system that is publicly administered, but uses both publicly and privately owned and operated facilities to meet the needs of its population. 18 ------14 THE CURRENT SYSTEM Part of Bill 37's complexity lies in the fact that not only does the Bill change three pieces of legislation, but it also operates in a context in which a number of bodies or individuals play an important role. The Government of Canada and the Canada Health Act The primary objective of the Canada Health Actis to "protect, promote and restore the physical and mental well-being of residents of Canada and to facilitate reasonable access to health services without financial or other barriers.n2 The purpose of the Act is to establish conditions and criteria that must be met before the transfer of monies to the provinces. The criteria for the provision of the money is that the health care insurance plans of each of the provinces must respect the following five principles outlined in Sections 7 through 12 of the Act: • Public administration; • Comprehensiveness; • Universality; • Portability; and • Accessibility. These principles apply to the provision of medically necessary physician, hospital and surgical-dental services to provincial residents who are deemed insured persons, in essence, the provision of "insured services to insured persons." The definition of insured persons excludes a member of the Canadian Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, persons serving a term of imprisonment in a penitentiary as defined in the Penitentiary Act, and individuals who have not fulfilled minimum residency requirements within a province. Also, there are those who are entitled to medical services due to being enrolled in a provincial workers' compensation plan but are not bound by the five principles. Medical services supplied to an excluded person are usually described as "uninsured services to uninsured persons." These individuals may receive medical services at any facility, but the payment does not come from the provincial health care insurance plan. Government of Alberta - Ministry of Health The responsibility for health care in Alberta ultimately lies with the Minister of Health. The Minister works with department staff and the various health authorities to achieve the best health outcomes for Albertans and to avoid duplication of effort and expense. 2 CaTUUio. Health Act. Chapter C-6. Section 3. 18 ------15 The Minister is responsible for over 25 acts and more than 70 regulations pertaining to the health care system.3 • In part, these acts and regulations allow the Minister to: • Establish health authorities; • Delegate to the health authorities the responsibility to administer and deliver health services in their region in the best possible manner; • Provide funding to these health authorities; • Approve hospitals; • Register Albertans in the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP); • Provide payment of benefits to health practitioners under the AHCIP; • Collect health insurance premiums; • Establish self-governing regulatory bodies for groups such as registered nurses and physicians; and • Set the direction, policies and provincial standards for the health care system. It is under the Hospitals Actthat the Minister has the sole ability to designate a facility as an "approved hospital." The College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province of Alberta Deriving its mandate from the Medical Professions Act, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province of Alberta (College) has responsibility within the province for: • The licensing of physicians; • Monitoring standards of medical practice; and • Investigating complaints about physicians. In addition to these three important areas, the College is often approached for advice on ethical, medical-legal and general quality-of-eare matters. The College uses an extensive body of information that exists nationally and internationally to aid in its decision-making processes. Section 93 of the Medical Professions Actallows the College to assess and accredit diagnostic and treatment facilities in which services are performed by registered physicians. 3 With some information from: Achieving Accountability in Alberta's Health System. Alberta Health. November 24. 1998. lL ------16 The comprehensive and ongoing accreditation process includes: • Pre-visit questionnaire; • On site inspection: • Review all applications for privileges; • Review facilities compliance with College standards; and • Provision of accreditation if standards are met. The process used by the College is designed to ensure that medical professionals practicing at a diagnostic and treatment facility can do so without putting their patient at undue risk. The College combines its roles with respect to physician regulation and facility accreditation when setting standards for patient's safety and care. These standards will normally specify the location in which a procedure may be performed - for example, what back-up is required, what access to intensive care is available, or what diagnostic or blood services must be available. Within these general principles, the physician must still make a determination of whether the particular patient's needs or wishes require specific services in a specific section. For example, the most recent bylaws locus on the issue of when the patient can safely be discharged after completion of a surgical procedure. 18 ------17 RESPONSE AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Panel's mandate was to provide the Minister of Health feedback and recommendations based upon the five points in the "Panel's Terms of Reference". These five points acted as guidelines for seeking public input and asking department officials, organizations, and individuals for their comments on Bill 37 and its amendment. The five points also provided a context for the Panel to critically evaluate the Bill and engage in debate and discussion about possible changes. The last of these five points was an invitation from the Minister to make recommendations to improve and ciarify the legislation. Section A below contains a brief summary to the first four points. Section B contains the Panel's recommendations for improvements including a new two-step approach the Panel believes will assist the Minister in his responsibility to protect Alberta's publicly funded system. Section A 1. Determine whether Bill 37 meets the government's stated objective of safeguarding the public health system. Response 1 From the submissions, the Panel noted two themes. The first was the government's objective for safeguarding the public health care system was neither clearly nor strongly stated. The second was that regulated services were the Iynchpin to the operation of the statute and concerns were raised that these regulations had not been made available to the public. Upon examination, the Panel concluded that the government's stated intention with Bill 37 and its amendment was to safeguard the public health care system. This was accomplished in two sections. First, Bill 37's amendment to the Alberta Health Care Insurance Act (Section 1(1) and 1(2)) created a clearer supervisory control over non hospital surgical facilities. The second area was the amendment to the Hospitals Act (Section 2(1) and 2(2)) for insurance coverage of residence charges. This section ensured a patient could acquire insurance to cover residential costs wherever provided. The public health care system was not in jeopardy with the implementation of these two amendments. However, the amendment dealing with the creation of a new classification of health facility (treatment facility) caused some confusion. The Panel recognized that a treatment facility was, in effect, a private hospital offering uninsured services. This section required further review and refinement. 18 ------18 2. Ensure that the Bill meets the requirements of the principles of the Canada Health Act Response 2 With respect to this point, the Panel noted a broad range of comment from submissions, letters, and briefs. Some thought Bill 37 met the criteria of the Canada Health Actwhile others thought that while the letter of the law was clear, the spirit of the House amendment could be more precise. After an exhaustive review of this issue, the Panel could find no evidence to support the allegation that Bill 37 offended the principles of the Canada Health Act. 3. Determine if, in the absence of such a bill, a legislative gap exists which inhibits government's ability to prohibit or control private health facilities. Response 3 The Review Panel concurs with the majority of respondents who wrote providing the opinion that a legislative gap would exist if Bill 37 and its amendment were not implemented. Additionally, the Panel recognized that a legislative gap could also exist even if Bill 37 and its amendment were implemented. A close examination of the Bill revealed a treatment facility could obtain College accreditation and, without approval by the Minister, offer unregulated surgical services. In our recommendations below, the Panel provides a two-stage process to deal with this gap - an interim and a longer term measure. 4. Determine if the Bill preserves the public health system by clearly defining the limitations on the role of non-public health providers. Response 4 Not completely. Given the explanation in the previous point, the Bill could have inadvertently allowed treatment facilities to provide medical services without the Minister effectively being able to control them. The Panel noted that the definition of insured health services to insured persons under the Canada Health Act excludes Workers' Compensation Board cases and armed forces personnel, members of the RCMP, and prisoners. Therefore, under the Canada Health Act and the Workers' Compensation Board Acta legal means clearly exists for private health facilities to serve a segment of the Canadian population. 18 ------19 Section B Having reviewed the questions posed to it and the issues arising from them, the Panel makes the following suggestions for implementing the policy objectives contained in Bill 37. Recommendation No.1 Where the residential component cost of care may be legitimately charged to a patient in a hospital, auxiliary hospital, or nursing home, the patient should be able to insure against such a cost. The Panel concurred with the view that the proposed amendment to the Hospitals Actis consistent with this policy and should be implemented. This recommendation recognizes that the compartments (auxiliary hospital, nursing home, etc.) through which the underlying poiicy was originally carried out are no longer watertight or accurate. The recommendation states the underlying policy so that other statutes and regulations can be appropriately measured against it. Recommendation No.2 The distinction between hospital and non-hospital procedures should be based on the principle of required recovery time, Le. the safe discharge of the patient within 12 hours of completion of the surgical procedure. This recommendation recognizes the current method of determining what surgical procedures can be performed in different types of facilities. It reflects current accepted standards for what may occur in non-traditional hospital settings, and forms the basis of the new bylaws endorsed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for accreditation purposes. The College bylaw is as follows: Section 43(2)(k) - Permitted surgical procedures are those procedures which will safely allow the discharge of a patient from medical care in the facility within 12 hours of completion of the surgicai procedure by a registered practitioner. See Appendix C for College of Physicians and Surgeons bylaws referenced in this section of the report. 18 20 Recommendation No.3 Those surgical procedures listed in Section 43(4), and which comply with Section 43(2)(k) [that is less than 12 hours safe discharge], may be performed in an "approved hospital or a non-hospital surgical facility. n If the procedure is provided in a non-hospital surgical facility and to a person insured under the Alberta Health care Insurance Plan, the following two conditions must be met • The procedures are provided under a contract entered into with the Regional Health Authority; and • The contract has been approved by the Minister. We note that uninsured services can be performed in both. This recommendation recognizes the current situation, formalizes it, and adds greater control on the insured side by requiring both the RHA contract and Ministerial approval. A matrix of checks and requirements for such contracts should be developed by the Department of Health to ensure that the contracted out activity is subject to appropriate review and scrutiny. 18 21 A TWO-STEP PROCESS The Panel recognized the purpose of Bill 37 and its amendment was to ultimately deal with the issue of an accredited private health care facility that delivered major surgical services to uninsured persons. Bill 37 proposed a new category called "treatment facility" and proposed an application procedure with services to be listed in regulations. The public was sceptical of the concept, especially given that the scope of the operations and prohibition was to depend on regulations to be created in the future. Given Recommendation 2, the best description of a treatment facility is a private hospital offering uninsured services. (The House Amendment to Bill 37 would have restricted a treatment facility to uninsured regulated services.) The Panel does not believe that facilities, which are essentially hospitals, should be able to operate outside and independently of the overall health care system. To address this issue, the Panel recommends a two-step process. STEP ONE Recommendation No.4 A temporary and transparent measure be implemented which provides the Minister with the legislative power and the responsibility for the regulation of approved hospital facilities prOViding both uninsured or insured services within the Alberta health care system. In effect, this recommendation creates two possibilities. A. Private Hospital Solely Conducting Uninsured Services. If an approved hospital facility wants to restrict its operations to uninsured services (as defined), then it must first secure Ministerial approval and cannot offer any insured services under that approval. The approved hospital must also recognize that offering uninsured services at this stage will be an interim step, given recommendation five below. Before granting an approval, the Minister must be satisfied that long-term sustainability of the delivery system is not compromised, the approval is in the public interest, and may consider any other relevant factors. 18 ------~22 B. Private Hospital Contracted by the Health Authority. Insured services can be offered in either a health authority facility or under contract with the health authority. If the latter, the services come under the Canada Health .Actumbrella and must meet the five program criteria and must include the prohibition on extra billing and facility fees. If a health authority determines that it should contract for certain services, the Minister must review and approve the contract to ensure that patient needs will be appropriately met, the long-term sustainability of the public delivery system will not be compromised, there is no major impact on the overall delivery system, and the contract can be justified in the public interest. Any facility must first be accredited by the College. Upon implementation of the above, an interim means of closing a legislative gap now exists which assists government in the prohibition or control of private hospitals. The following chart reflects the implementation of the interim measure. 18 23 Step One· Location by Surgical Procedure and Patient Discharge • Accreditation by College of Physicians and 12 hours Surgeons Section 43(2){k} • Approved - -- - /-:;:> .. by ......

The requirement that all major surgical procedures take place in an approved hospital is an appropriate way of ensuring that the Minister who has the responsibility for the overall system also has control of all elements within it. Recommendation No.5 All surgical procedures not listed in Section 43(4} or which cannot comply with Section 43(2)(k} must be performed in an approved hospital. This recommendation builds on recent bylaws created by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. These bylaws created a standard for surgical procedures and safe patient discharge within a prescribed time-period. The approach is equally applicable to the approval of facilities in which procedures should be carried out. The standard is whether a patient can be safely discharged within twelve hours of completion of the surgical procedure by a registered physician. The approved hospital concept forces the co-ordination of delivery of insured and uninsured services. The Panei recognizes that the Ministerial approval of hospitals and the College accreditation of facilities are independent but complementary processes. It should be made clear that even though a facility could gain College accreditation, the facility's ability to operate within the Alberta health care system depends upon receiving Ministerial approval. An approved hospital must: • Be accredited by the College of Physicians and Surgeons (or the appropriate accrediting body); • Meet the requirements of the Hospitals Acf; and • Operate within the principles of the Canada Health Act. 18 • The Panel notes that the Hospitals Act may require some updating to accommodate our recommendations. 25 Given the above, an applicant for an approved hospital could be: • •A hospital presently owned and run by a health authority; •A volunteer hospital; •A worKers' compensation board hospital; •A Federal Government hospital; •A private hospital (if approved under the interim measure); and •A new applicant. Each of these applicants have their own particular legislative or constitutional context. However, the interim measure would disappear, and all applications for an "approved hospital" must first satisfy the test of whether the proposal will meet the needs of the health authority's plan to deliver patient services. The operation of any approved hospital providing insured or uninsured services, must meet the following criteria: • Serves the current and future patient needs in the geographic area to be served; • Has no major negative impact on the publicly funded health system in Alberta; • Is in the public interest; and • Satisfies any other factors the Minister and Department of Health consider to be relevant. The following chart depicts the effect of the Panel's recommendation. 18 26 Step Two - Location by Surgical Procedure and Patient Discharge • Accreditation by Patient Safety & Care College of ...----.

Those acts are the Alberta Health care Insurance Act, the Hospitals Act, and the Medical Profession Act By doing so, the Ministerwill be able to properly deal with the respective pieces of legislation and reduce the confusion that was attached to Bill 37. 18 ------28 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation No. 1 Where the residential component cost of care may be legitimately charged to a patient in a hospital, auxiliary hospital, or nursing home, the patient should be able to insure against such a cost. The Panel concurred with the view that the proposed amendment to the Hospitals Actis consistent with this policy and should be implemented. Recommendation No.2 The distinction between hospital and non-hospital procedures should be based on the principle of required recovery time, i.e. the safe discharge of the patient within 12 hours of completion of the surgical procedure. Recommendation No.3 Those surgical procedures listed in Section 43(4), and which comply with Section 43(2)(k) [that is less than 12 hours safe discharge], may be performed in an "approved hospital or a non-hospital surgical facility." If the procedure is provided in a non-hospital surgical facility and to a person insured under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan, the following two conditions must be met: • The procedures are provided under a contract entered into with the Regional Health Authority; and • The contract has been approved by the Minister. Recommendation No.4 A temporary and transparent measure be implemented which provides the Minister with the legislative power and the responsibility for the regulation of approved hospital facilities providing both uninsured or insured services within the Alberta health care system. 18 ------,29 Recommendation No.5 • All surgical procedures not listed in Section 43(4) or which cannot comply with Section 43(2)(k) must be performed in an approved hospital. Recommendation No.6 Bill 37 should be replaced with three separate initiatives dealing with the three separate acts which are being amended. Those acts are the Alberta Health Care Insurance Act, the Hospitals Act, and the Medical Profession Act. 18 ------'-330 APPENDIX A List of Contributors 1. Achilles, Desmond 2.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Royal Bank of Canada. This highly successful program, which brings together anglophone and francophone leaders from across the country, has been in operation for three years. The current funding is scheduled to end on March 31, 1999. On February 1, 1999, FCM submitted to you a proposal to renew the Government of Canada's financial support for a three year penod. CLPP has empowered more than 500 leaders from 80 communities and from all provinces and territories to reach out to their counterparts and share expertise and knowledge. The partnerShips have brought together Canadians from different regions to share their experience and expertise In meeting common challenges. The program has attracted a lot of positive media coverage at the local, regional and national levels all of which reflects the enthusiasm the program has generated from coast to coast. There is currently a waiting list of more than 150 Canadian commUnities which wish to participate. They will not be able to do so unless the program is renewed. I strongly believe that this program should be continued so other communities may also have the opportUnity to become more knowledgeable and benefit from Canada's linguistic. cultural and regional diversity. I would appreciate if you could give serious consideration to renewing this program oeyond March 1999 in order to allow these and other communities to participate.

Ken really came through for us as our warm up grandstand entertainer on August 7, 8 and 9, 1997 at the Mountain View County Fair. He put on a great, familv rated show, which the crowd loved, and was extremely flexible and cooperative. Ken was willing to help out wherever we needed him, including doing a show at our long term care facility. One of our dir~ctors who thought his show was great said "I don't usua.lly like comedians, but I liked him." Once again, I would highly recommend Ken Valgardson for your fair or event.
