MIDWIFERY SCOPE AND MODEL OF PRACTICE

Preamble

The midwifery scope and model of practice as defined in this document provides the broad boundaries of midwifery practice in British Columbia (BC). The College of Midwives of British Columbia (CMBC)’s Standards of Practice and associated policies detail the minimum requirements for safe practice of midwifery within the midwifery scope and model. The Competencies of Registered Midwives provide details of the skills and knowledge expected of a midwife in BC.

Midwifery Scope of Practice

According to the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), a midwife is:

“a responsible and accountable professional who works in partnership with women to give the necessary support, care and advice to during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, to conduct births on the midwife’s own responsibility and to provide care for the newborn and the infant. This care includes preventative measures, the promotion of normal birth, the detection of complications in the mother and child, the accessing of medical care or other appropriate assistance when necessary and the carrying out of emergency measures when necessary.

The midwife has an important task in health counselling and education, not only for the woman but also within the family and the community. The work should involve antenatal education and preparation for parenthood and may extend to women’s health, sexual or reproductive health and child care.

A midwife may practise in any setting including the home, community, , clinics, or health units.”

The ICM definition of a midwife (last updated in 2005) has been consistently supported by the International Federation of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians (FIGO), and the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1972.

In BC, the Midwives Regulation limits the midwifery scope of practice as the practice of midwifery. Midwifery is defined as “the health profession in which a person provides the following services during normal pregnancy, labour, delivery and the postpartum period:

• assessment, monitoring and care for women, newborns and infants, including the carrying out of appropriate emergency measures when necessary; • counselling, supporting and advising women, including provision of advice and information regarding care for newborns and infants; • conducting internal examinations of women, performing episiotomies and amniotomies and repairing episiotomies and simple lacerations; • contraceptive services for women during the 3 months following a birth.”

Midwifery Scope and Model of Practice Page 1 of 3 Midwifery Page 5 of 137 AGENDA ITEM C. 2.

Midwifery Model of Practice The midwifery model of practice in British Columbia is autonomous, community-based primary care, and incorporates the principles of continuity of care, informed choice, choice of birth setting, collaboration, accountability, ethics and evidence-based practice.

AUTONOMOUS, COMMUNITY-BASED PRIMARY CARE Midwives are primary care providers in autonomous practice, with hospital privileges, within their communities. For each client, under their own responsibility, the midwife provides a continuum of midwifery services throughout pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period.

Midwives practice in a range of settings, including clinics, clients’ homes, hospitals, and other community-based settings. Midwifery care for labour, birth and early postpartum is provided in a setting chosen by the client and appropriate to their level of risk. In all settings, midwives remain responsible and accountable for the care they provide.

CONTINUITY OF CARE Midwives provide continuity of care. Continuity of care is delivered through the provision of midwifery care during pregnancy, labour, birth and the postpartum period, on a 24-hour on- call basis by a registrant or small group of registrants known to the client. Continuity of care is both a philosophy and a process that is facilitated through a partnership; ideally each client will meet and develop a relationship of trust with the midwife or midwives in the group before labour. A group practice must share a common philosophy and a consistent and coordinated approach to practice.

INFORMED CHOICE Midwives respect the rights of clients to make informed choices and facilitate this process by providing complete, relevant, objective information and their professional recommendations in a non-authoritarian, supportive manner. Having adequate time for discussion in the prenatal period is necessary to the successful facilitation of informed choice.

CHOICE OF BIRTH SETTING Midwives provide care in a variety of settings, including homes, hospitals and birth centres, where available. The birth setting is chosen by the client in consultation with the midwife. Midwives must acquire admitting and discharge midwifery hospital privileges in their local maternity units and, where available, privileges for birth centers. Midwives function within their scope of practice in both the home and hospital setting.

COLLABORATION Midwives consult and collaborate with other health care professionals to work safely within their scope of practice. In situations where transfer of care to a physician is required, the midwife may provide supportive care after transfer and may resume primary care if appropriate.

ETHICS, ACCOUNTABILITY AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Midwives’ fundamental accountability is to the clients in their care. They are also accountable to their peers, their regulatory body, the health agencies where they practice and the public to for the provision of safe, competent, ethical practice informed by the CMBC Philosophy of Care and current evidence in perinatal care. Midwives develop and share midwifery knowledge, promoting and participating in research.

COMPETENCIES OF REGISTERED MIDWIVES

Midwifery Education Programs approved by the Registration Committee of the College of Midwives of BC (CMBC) prepare their graduates to practice as general registrants in the full scope of practice in British Columbia. Such programs ensure that their graduates have acquired the midwifery knowledge and skills essential for practice in BC, while embracing the BC philosophy of midwifery care. The midwife, as a primary health care professional, must be able to provide responsive holistic care and advice during the antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum period.

Approved Midwifery Education Programs foster the development of sound practical skills based on and reinforced through clinical experience. Students are being prepared to assume roles in primary care, education, health promotion, and counselling related to childbearing and the transition to parenthood. Approved Programs provide opportunities to develop and use clinical judgement, critical thinking, communication, collaboration and research skills necessary to provide family-centred care throughout the childbearing cycle. Approved Programs assist students in developing sensitivity toward health issues related to childbearing from a global perspective.

Napp had to take a second trip to remove rubbish that was remaining. The schedule is already tight so will see if this also affects the delivery date of the CT machine. March 21, 2019 - Asbestos was encountered in the crawlspace, so work in the CT room has been on hold since. Napp started asbestos abatement on March 18, and should be wrapped up in the last week of March. This work may impact overall schedule, but Vector has yet to advise how much it will be impacted. February 27, 2019 - Project was awarded to Vector Projects Group. Held start up meeting last week. Mobilization and demolition started this week. Estimate project completion in May and first public patient in June. There will be a 3 week waiting period before first public patient.

PROJECT PROFILE

Identification

Name: WRI - DI Xray and Portable Number: CAP-0217

The goal is to upgrade the X-ray room from CR (Computed Radiography) to Digital Radiography. This will mean replacing the entire tosrad system. Replacing the x-ray table/bed, wall bucky system, x-ray tube, ceiling tracks/guides. This project will also entail some room renovations that are past due to improve patient care and maintain confidentiality. These renovations include: Description: Installing a new control panel with new lead glass, removing several small walls to increase working space, rearranging old dark room so the space is usable and safe. There is currently very little usable space in the old dark room and there is also some old wiring that is exposed. The goal is to upgrade the portable machine at the same time as the stationary system so that we can retire completely the CR reader, cassettes and monitor. Having both systems the same brand would simplify education and training and would allow less confusion.

Dear Mr. Newell:

Re: NCLGA Meeting: Williams Lake, May 7, 2019

Thank you for taking the time to meet with Northern Health during the recent NCLGA meetings in Williams Lake. In addition, we appreciated your attendance at the Partnering for Healthy Communities workshop on Monday, May 6, 2019.

At our meeting we discussed the status of the Mills Memorial Hospital project and Master Planning progress at Bulkley Valley District Hospital. As you are aware the Business Plan to replace Mills Memorial Hospital was submitted in November 2018. We have worked with the Ministry of Health to finalize this Business Plan over the last several months. The Ministry of Health will communicate the next steps once approval of the Business Plan has been received. We have appreciated Yvonne Koerner, Executive Director, NW RHO participation on the Project Steering Committee as well as the NW RHD's participation on the Advisory Committee.

Master Planning is proceeding well for Bulkley Valley District Hospital. Staff, physicians, and managers in Smithers have been very engaged in the planning process. A briefing of the Smithers town council will be planned in the coming weeks. We expect to have the Master Planning process completed later in the fall 2019.

Another topic we discussed was the Trauma Report that the NW Regional Hospital District completed in 2008 and whether there is any value add in repeating such a study. Northern Health has made significant progress since 2008 in relation to Trauma Services so it is unlikely that repeating this study would add value at this time. In October 2018, Northern Health completed the second cycle of trauma accreditation with Accreditation Canada and was awarded 'Distinction in Trauma Services'. Further information about Northern Health's work in increasing the quality of trauma services across the North can be arranged in the future should the NW RHO be interested.

It was important for us to hear about the challenges experienced in applying for Imagine Grants. We will discuss this feedback with the Population Health program area. We also appreciated the ideas you have regarding supporting seniors groups through this granting process. At the meeting, we discussed a provincial project called 'Raising the Profile' that focused on community-based seniors services. The link to information about this project is: http://www.seniorsraisingtheprofile.ca

Thank you once again for meeting with Northern Health.

North West Regional Hospital District: Directors' Report

Meeting Date: Friday, March 22, 2019 at 10:30 am

Place: Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, Board Room, Terrace, BC

The following actions were taken at the March 22, 2019 Regular meeting of the North West Regional Hospital District Board.

In-Camera Meeting - separate report

Regular Meeting

Guests: Margaret Jones-Bricker Manager Annual Giving, Northern BC Canadian Cancer Society Topic: Kordyban Lodge - Peace of Mind Campaign • Located in Prince Goerge(PG) by the Cancer Centre for the North which is the only location in the region for radiology treatment. Chemotherapy is offered in 10 communities but needing radiation must travel to PG • The society works to provide support services and in PG this is accommodations • The lodge can house 36 people • 2009-2011-12 million was raised for the building • The cost to stay at the lodge is $54 per person per night. This includes meals and activities. Patients can be there for five - 6 weeks. The cost to a couple could be $4500 for the stay to have treatment. • In 2018 171 residents stayed at the lodge from Terrace and 48 residents from Kitimat. • The goal of the Peace of Mind Campaign is to raise $450,000 by January 2020. To date $95,000 has been raised. PRRD has donated $SOK per year for three years. Discussion: Traveling to the four cancer centers in the Province can be difficult for people in the North. Locations are in Victoria, Vancouver, Kelowna and Prince George. Has there been discussions on providing a "stage coach stop" service to help residents travel to these cancers? Currently there is the Northern Connector bus service.

Regional Hospital District Bw!dmg for Health

Dr. Jaco Fourie Medical Director, Northwest Health Service Delivery Area, Medical Lead Northern Health Cancer Center, Northern Health Topic: Recruitment Update • Thank you for support in dealing with the primary care crisis. In early 2018 Terrace 8FTE FP in a 21 FTE manpower plan. 10,000-12,000 people were without a physician. • Since the nlO family physicians have been recruited to Terrace and two new primary care clinics have opened up. • Recruitment efforts have benefited the whole region. o Hazelton - five physicians joined. (.SFTE each) Still looking for a .75FTE. o Smithers-two GPs departed, three recruited o Masset - one physician joined (.SFTE) o Prince Rupert - had been. advertising for almost a year for a GP/OB. Two Canadian Grads to start work this summer o Dease Lake - New physician starting in April • More work needs to be done. Focusing now on gaps in specialist services in the Northwest o Prince Rupert needs urology, ENT, obstetrical and orthopedic surgery support o Kitimat needs urology, ENT, pediatric and orthopedic surgery support o Terrace needs two pathologists, two pediatricians and a second ENT, urologist, orthopedic surgeon o Terrace NW Regional Psychiatry unit needs three psychiatrists. An example of the challenge is that there are 89 psychiatry positions posted for southern BC o Smithers needs two pediatricians and a radiologist • The $60,000 from NWRHD allowed Northern Health to offer a housing subside to on board physicians and this was a significant recruitment incentive. This money is now full spent. • Northern Health is now looking for new funds to be able to continue to provide this incentive • There is a desire to secure transitional housing in Smithers to offer the same incentive but funds from outside of NH would be required

Correspondence: None

Reports: H-1 Directors Report from January 25, 2019 Comments: The Seniors Advocate would be willing to come and give a presentation but has requested we provide a specific topic as the services offered are very broad. Discussion: • Concerns expressed over the lack of rural representation on this board • Director Bachrach reference a recent letter in the Interior newspapers regarding seniors issues. Here is the link. https://www.interior-news.com/opinion/broken-system-has­ priorities-upside-down-and- backwards/?fbclid=lwAR2a4GJB06cgpoVhllKVMYcY4UT YLtF19fM 610- hCo4ghE15m4HTMmhps • Recurring comments revolved around the need for more senior housing and in-home care • ED to arrange for a presentation at a future meeting.

Emergency medical evacuations from the Nass - BCAS

Agency Nursing • Question for NH for future meeting. Looking to understand why agency nurses are used instead hiring full time nurses. Have received complaints of this occurring

Masset Hospital • In order to build the Masset Hospital, the Village of Masset borrowed the money from MFA for 60% of the cost instead of the Province contributing 60%. Northern Health makes payments for the facility. This has created a situation where Masset has no more borrowing capacity. Motion: Refer staff to investigate the capital financing agreement for the Masset Hospital. {Director Puterill/Director Nobels)

FACSIMILE 250-635-2182 To the Board of Directors North West Regional Hospital District

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of the North West Regional Hospital District, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2018 and the statement of financial activities for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

::~: In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Regional Hospital District as at December 31, 2018 and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. We are independent of the Regional Hospital District in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient '· .~· and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Regional Hospital District's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless conditions exist that do not allow for the going concern basis to be used.

The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Regional Hospital District's financial reporting process.

NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release April 18, 2019

NH Board meeting highlights: April 2019

Northern Health's Board of Directors heard details of progress on implementation of the Northern First Nations Wellness Plan, and about an integrated approach to Adult Day Program services for seniors in the Bulkley Valley, at its most recent meeting in Smithers.

NH Indigenous Health provided an update on a wide range of ongoing and new initiatives in partnership with the First Nations Health Authority, and northern First Nations communities across the region. Among the highlights are two programs offering undergraduate medical students the opportunity to visit and learn from northern First Nations communities through cultural exchange and sharing of local knowledge.

"A key priority in the First Nations Health and Wellness Plan is to improve the cultural safety of NH services provided to Indigenous people," said Board Chair Colleen Nyce. "We thank all of our partners including the First Nations Health Authority and northern First Nations communities who are guiding this work across the spectrum of health services in the region." ·

While in the Bulkley Valley, Board members recognized improvements to local services including the implementation of a CT scanner in Smithers that will enhance the access to diagnostic testing in the Hazelton to Burns Lake corridor. The project would not have been possible without a major donation and support from the Bulkley Valley Hospital Foundation. Northern Health is targeting a late June 2019 start for the delivery of patient services.

The Smithers Integrated Adult Day Program at Bulkley Lodge was the focus of a presentation highlighting efforts to improve access to a wider and more flexible range of services for seniors with care needs in the community while also providing respite forfamily caregivers. Over the years, the program has added staff and programming to operate seven days per week, with improved program flexibility and stability.

1.· "Increasing access to Adult Day Program services for seniors is an important f component of meeting the needs of an aging population," said Cathy Ulrich, t Northern Health CEO. "Health supports are only one piece of the puzzle, and we

continue to work in partnership with community partners to expand and enhance community services and supports to help seniors stay at home and in their communities."

Other highlights from the April 2019 meeting include:

• An overview of 2018 research projects reviewed and approved by the NH Research Review Committee; in all, 47 projects were approved in partnership and/or collaboration with University of Northern BC, UBC and the Northern Medical Program, and other organizations such as BC Cancer, other health authorities and the BC Academic Health Science Network • Enhancements to the North West Specialized Community Services Program for Mental Health and Substance Use, including the recently announced mobile Mental Health and Substance Use unit serving Terrace, Kitimat and the Hazelton area.

The next regular meeting of the Northern Health Board of Directors will be held June 10, 2019 in Fort St. John.

Honourable Adrian Drx Ministry of Health P,O. Box 9056 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC V8W 9E2 HL [email protected]

To the Honourable Adrian Dix,

RE: Assisted Living Complex - Cottonwood Manor

Council for the District of Houston respectfullyreq4ests your support and consideration for the conversion of Cottonwood Manor, located in Houston, B.C., from an Assisted Living Complex to a Residential Care Facility.

Currently, as an Assisted Living Complex, residents living in Cottonwood Manor do not have overnight care. This results in residents suffering falls throughout the night with no assistance until the next morning. After a number offalls, residents are considered living beyond their own ability according to the facility's policies and procedures and are forced to find other accommodations.

However, with no space available in the Residential Care Facillty, the Houston Health Centre, or other long­ term care in surrounding communities, residents forced fo leave are faced with excessive wait times forcare. This puts uMecessary pressure on the health care system with increased calls to 911 and overloading of the already strained Emergency department ofthe Bulkley Valley Hospital in Smithers, B.C,

Recently, Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie stated "appropriate housing, sufficient income, adequate transportation, accessible health care and assistance with personal needs must all be available if seniors ;;ire to live safely and with dign,ity". The District of Houston recognizes an increasing senior population and the lack of care required to sufficiently meet the needs of its residents. Council for the District is requesting your support in converting Cottonwood Manor frorn an Assisted Living Complex to a Residential Care Facility. All rooms at Cottonwood Manor are capable of supporting the residential care model, and this conversion would assist in reducing wait times for seniors currently seeking care;

Sincerely,

Please provide a very brief title for your proposed project.

Title I Telemedicine proof-of-concept model for a rural and remote dermatology service

1.2 Intended Outcome

In one or two sentences, what value (benefits, outcomes, return on investment) will this project deliver? This does not have to be monetary, although it can be. There is room for further explanation in other sect;ons below.

Value UBC Dermatology will test a new model of telemedicine designed to be clinically Proposition effective while drastically reducing costs and wait lists. To do this, a collaboration is

being forged with rural doctors and communities, including First Nations communities whose already limited access is aggravated by geography, poverty, and health care system mistrust.

1.3 Amount Requested

Please indicate the amount of funding requested from the Strategic Investment Fund. There is room for budget details and assumptions in other sections below.

Amount I $170,8s2

1.4 Primary Strategic Plan Connection

Indicate one (or perhaps two) primary strategic plan objectives on which the proposed project is focused, and explain how the proposed project will advance it/them. You can find more information about the plan's objectives here: http://stratplan.med.ubc.ca/

Primary Partnership (This application is endorsed by the Partnership Pillar, Dr. Gurdeep Strategic Plan Parhar, Executive Associate Dean, Clinical Partnerships and Professionalism) Objective(s) "Shape practices and policies for improved care of the population across the province through collective system leadership."

The goal of this project is to test a model of dermatology care that would improve access in rural and remote areas. The model has three parts: (1) to establish working relationships with rural doctors through community visits, (2) to establish secure telemedicine access to dermatologists for referring community doctors, and (3) to transfer dermatology knowledge and skills into the community.

The collective leadership combines the UBC Dept. of Dermatology and Skin Science, the UBC Dept. of Family Practice, the Rural Education Action Plan, the Rural Co­ ordination Centre of Doctors of BC, Divisions of Family Practice in the test area proposed, and the health care administrations of Lake Babine and Carrier-Sekani First Nations, as well as the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation.

1.5 Secondary Strategic Plan Connection

If there are secondary strategic plan objectives that will be advanced by this proposed project in addition to the primary objective(s), please list them here and explain the how the project will advance it/them.

Secondary Pl. Support the establishment of mechanisms that formalize and simplify Strategic Plan connections across the system through the AHSN (Academic Health Objective(s) Science Network) and AHSCs. The model establishes working relationships between referring doctors and consulting dermatologists through community visits which should then lead to efficient use of telemedicine in the form of secure phone and video links. Community visits would then be reduced in frequency because they could not be sustained, particularly on the scale of a provincial service. Such relationships are expected to increase education in both directions.

Faculty of Medicine Strategic Investment Fund Proposal - version 3

Pl. Engage with partners and populations to help reduce inequities in Indigenous health care and outcomes. Through collaboration with John Pawlovich of the Dept. of Family Practice, UBC Dermatology has provided care in the First Nations Communities of Takla Landing, Fort Babine, Tachet, Yekooche, Stella'ten, and Woyenne. At least 5 dermatology residents have been on such outreach visits, and more wish to participate in this "rural dermatology elective". We believe these existing community relationships form the basis for a realistic test of our "working relationships" model for indigenous people, and the participation of residents increases the probability of recruiting younger dermatologists to the program.

Both Carrier-Sekani and Lake Babine First Nations are full partners in this application. Their collective experience in formulating surveys for their own populations together with associated data collection and analysis, will be available to us through Travis Holyk, Executive Director Research, Primary Care. and Strategic Services, Carrier-Sekani First Nation, and complements the expertise of our partners Craig Mitton at the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation, and Dan Horvat, Quality Improvement and Evaluation Lead, Rural Co-ordination Center of BC.

P3. Develop shared agendas and accountabilities with sector partners to address core systemic issues A core systemic problem is lack of access to clinical services for patients in rural and remote areas. The partners in this project share an agenda to increase access to dermatology services and education for this population and their primary care doctors. We believe our model might be used easily by other disciplines to increase access and education using secure cell phone service with associated file transfer and video as appropriate. We attach letters of support from colleagues in Emergency Medicine, Gynaecology, and Pediatric Dermatology that confirm this potential.

P4. Reinforce provincial capacity and rigour in health data analytics and quality improvement. The model includes measures of clinical outcome, service efficiency (waiting times etc.) as well as patient and referring doctor satisfaction. These can be continued as measures of QI and continuing clinical research.

PS. Strengthen education and research through coordinated international focus and growth. With our colleagues in the Rural Co-ordination Centre, we have initiated a dermatology education collaboration with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine, who in turn have a previously established collaboration with Dr. Jim Muir at the University of Queensland in Brisbane to develop on line educational material in dermatology for doctors in rural and remote areas of Australia. This is a national program and Dr. Muir is a Fellow of the Australasian College of Dermatologists. We now have access to these resources for 20 rural doctors in BCas a pilot project. We have begun experimenting with our own educational resources as a result and have made several demonstration videos. We expect this

collaboration to grow to our mutual benefit both in education and educational research.

R3. Embed and extend patient-oriented clinical research capacity. The embedding of patient-oriented assessments in our model lends itself to further clinical research; for example, the relative values of dermatology treatments could be assessed in a real-world rural setting. We are receiving guidance from Colleen McGavin, Patient Engagement Lead of the BC Support Unit of the CIHR Strategy for Patient Oriented Research.

E2. Exploit disruptive innovation to enrich the learning experience and increase access. The disruptive technology is secure cell phone service that allows clinical phone conversation, text-messaging {SMS}, file transfer (MMS), and video chat. We believe the technology can also provide education at the so-called "point-of-care". This could be as simple as a link to one of our resources, to a practice guideline, or to an educational case on the site of our Australian collaborators. It can also involve transfer of videos, documents, and slide presentations although file sizes might pose practical problems, at least for now.

ES. Develop a learning environment conducive to learner, trainee, staff & faculty development & mentorship. To expand teaching opportunities across residency and undergraduate medical education, resident physicians and medical students will have the chance to be involved in the tele-medicine experiences offered on both sides of the clinical encounter. The clinical experience would be treated and evaluated as full rotation, with goals, objectives and other metrics. Training residents to be familiar with this modality of care will also ensure its future continuity as more and more will incorporate this service into their future practices. The benefits to First Nations, remote or rural communities would be many-fold.

2 Proposal Details (3 Page Limit)

Please limit this section to three pages or fewer (including the existing titles and section descriptions).

2.1 Context (Opportunity/Problem)

Describe the project context or background with emphasis on the problem it seeks to solve or the opportunity it seeks to seize.

Background In rural and remote British Columbia "reasonable access" to dermatology services is limited by "financial or other barriers" contrary to the stated purpose of the Canada Health Act. Our goal is to create a model of effective care by telemedicine that would reduce such barriers by increasing access while reducing costs (including travel and other out-of-pocket costs for patients) and waiting times.

2.2 Project Description

Describe the specific work that will be done (project scope}, and the deliverables that will be produced. Explain how that work and those deliverables will lead to achieving the intended outcome described in section 1.2.

Scope & This is a two-year project. In Year 1 we will construct a working model and field test Deliverables it. In Year 2 we will collect data and, depending on results, make plans for a sustainable service. If warranted, we will consider the requirements for expansion to a provincial service. Description of model Technology supports our model of care but does not define it. The heart of the model is collaborative care at a distance: the primary doctor cares for the patient in the community with consultation and backup from consultants who are accessible. Technology and working human relationships make this model possible and easily available, education sustains it; as always, guided experience is the best teacher. Community visits are planned to be frequent when establishing working relationships and then to decrease as trust in the telemedicine and its providers increases. In our view, a permanent provincial travelling dermatology service cannot be imagined let alone sustained. Unmet need We are convinced that this model of care will fulfill an unmet need because an obvious demand exists. Dermatology manpower is currently focused on the south­ west corner of the province with the remainder of the geography under-served. Many if not all dermatologists have received requests to review photos sent from rural and remote practitioners and requests to discuss cases in real time. To our certain knowledge, that demand continues to this day and the lack of a working service frustrates clinicians on all sides. We did not create this project, the project came to us. The technology After considerable searching we were surprised to discover an existing Canadian engineered solution: BlackBerry BBM Enterprise with voice and video, an application that provides secure communication with the user's own cell phone. Voice, text,

transferred images, and video chat are all encrypted and secured, and we believe the technology meets FIPPA standards. The solution is adaptable to multiple device platforms. Once installed, it is as easy to use as any phone, text, or video chat service. In addition, we use WebEx (used by PHSA) and Cisco Jabber (used by FNHA) and Polycom (used by Northern Health). Out of an abundance of caution we are working with the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner to create a Privacy Impact Assessment. We believe that having a number of communications channels available (including regular phone calls) makes the project more flexible for users. The evaluation We will measure outcomes with accepted standards such as the Dermatology Life Quality Index, the EQSD, Global Physician Assessments, waiting times, and measures of patient and referring doctor satisfaction. An important goal is building these measurements into office visits in a way that creates little extra work for doctors or staff. We will assess these outcomes relative to costs using standard economic evaluation tools, considering both government payer and societal perspectives. The formal evaluation activities will be led by experts based at the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation. A key challenge will be to find a suitable comparator for the model of care, but there are several possibilities including parallel communities not in the test area that will be examined in the first year of the project during which time the full evaluation design will be completed based on the 'on the ground' developments outlined herein. Conclusion We are not starting from scratch. We already have experience with the proposed model of care, including community visits and the use ofthe secure communications described. Neil Kitson will devote himself full-time to this project and to that end has established a telemedicine practice that will be central to the project and which can be joined by others and continued. Nathan Teegee has deep roots within participating communities (including his own, Takla Landing), was a health administrator for Carrier-Sekani Family.Services, and has a vested interest to see that that the project is successful and sustainable. John Pawlovich was a community GP in Fraser Lake for 12 years, and is now Medical Director for CSFS and attends his rural Indigenous patients through telemedicine and personal visits. The collective leadership thus has many connections to the test area that make this project possible.

We believe that a permanent rural and remote travelling dermatology service is not a possibility for many obvious reasons; weather, road conditions, and consultant availability being some. What is possible is to develop relationships with rural communities, and then to provide education and collaborative care with community doctors who are supported by telemedicine. This proposal will position UBC Dermatology to be a leader in telemedicine development, evaluation and delivery.

For greater certainty, we believe face-to-face consultation with dermatologists will always be required for some patients, but that a considerable proportion of office dermatology can and should be done by local practitioners with accessible help and associated education from UBC Dermatology.

4 Other Considerations

4.1 Risks

Describe any major risks associated with this project. Include consideration of impact on people of the organization. Add bullets as needed.

• Lack of involvement by consultants. Our experience is that interest increases when there is a working model. Strategies to mitigate financial barriers exist in NITAOP, but there are other rewards in rural and remote practice that must be experienced to be appreciated. • Lack of interest in telemedicine. We doubt that this will be a problem because of the informal ad hoc demand that exists. Making the technology as easy as cell phones already in use is crucial, as is having a smooth workflow plan. • A major privacy breach. We believe this is unlikely through the secure communications channels we use, and is much more likely to occur through loss of improperly secured cell phones, failure to delete images from phones, and lack of ability to erase phones remotely. UBC IT has an excellent series of education modules showing how to mitigate all these risks. Within BBM Enterprise, the only error possible is sending a message to another doctor on the network by selecting an incorrect contact. Dialing errors are not possible. • The worst that could happen is that the model fails for unforeseen reasons. That is always the risk of conducting experiments and although very discouraging to those of us who are optimistic that the model will work, valuable information would be obtained from failure nonetheless. The only way to know is to do the experiment.

Patient-Oriented Research Colleen McGavin is our collaborator for patient-oriented research and has previously worked with Jan Dutz. The BC Support Unit was developed under the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR). It is supported by $80 million in funding over five years from both the federal and provincial governments, through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research respectively, as well as several other BC partner organizations.

It will provide services for researchers, patients, health care providers and health system decision makers, and facilitate initiatives identified as provincial priorities. The Unit, a multidisciplinary cluster of specialized personnel in research, policy and patient care, will engage patients to identify their needs and set priorities for research. It joins similar units in other province and regions of the country to create a pan-Canadian platform for sharing information and best practices.

Along with partner organizations, a provincial hub based in Vancouver will serve stakeholders within the Vancouver region and provide province-wide services. Regional centre~ are being developed to be the first point of contact for stakeholders located outside of the Vancouver region. Gradually, the Unit will assist with patient engagement, research navigation, data access and use, knowledge translation, and training and capacity development.

Our design for measurement of clinical outcomes in this project Will be influenced by the patients themselves. In collaboration with the BC Support Unit, we will obtain patient opinions about the outcomes that matter to them. We need two different approaches to obtain such opinions, because First Nations expectations might differ culturally from non-indigenous populations: obtaining frank opinions from the First Nations communities requires that they trust us. Fortunately, this collaboration includes those already have such trust. John Pawlovich has worked directly as Medical Director for Carrier-Sekani for 6 years and before that cared for indigenous people working as a GP in Fraser Lake. Travis Holyk is the director of research at Carrier-Sekani. Emma Palmantier is the Health Director for Lake Babine Nation. Nathan Teegee is a dermatology resident and member ofthe Takla Lake First Nation. He has worked as a Community Health Liaison and Primary Care Coordinator for Carrier-Sekani Family Services prior to medical school and has years of experience that can contribute to the project. Thus, we have established and trusted connections with the Indigenous communities in the test area. We will take similar approaches with the other non-indigenous communities involved in this project. We expect their opinions will be related to the difficulties of access to care based on practicalities such as travel and related costs. We will need to establish trust in these communities also, that we will listen to their opinions and that these will then be represented in measurements of clinical outcome.

Describe any ongoing operational requirements that will exist once the project is complete, with a high­ /eve/ plan to fulfil them. Please note, these cannot be funded through the Strategic Investment Fund. Add b.ullets as needed.

Operational Requirements • A continuing service will require an operational budget that will include technology and the usual costs of practice (medical office assistants, EMR etc.) plus travel expenses. If effectiveness and cost savings are shown, alternative funding for physicians' services could be considered. • Demonstrated cost savings may be re-invested in the development of a Telemedicine Suite at UBC Dermatology. Construction costs have already been obtained from UBC. • System administration. If the network becomes largerthanthis project, a professional administrator will be required.

RE: Letter ofSupport for Telehealth Proof-of-Concept model for rural and remote dermatology service

This letter is to confirm Carrier Sekani Family Services' (CSFS) support of the proposal to develop a proof-of-concept for rural dermatology service. As an organization CSFS is a leader in the implementation of Primary Care teams and Telehealth and we view this as an opportunity to increase capacity through a replicable model. CSFS prides itself on innovative and holistic service delivery and this proposal demonstrates a creative attempt to improve the way professionals deliver health care to Indigenous peoples in northern BC. We have established a relationship with Dr. Kitson through the clinics he has provided in CSFS communities and believe this project supports improved access to marginalized rural and remote populations.

As an organization that is a leader in Indigenous research methods and ethics, specific contributions will include assisting in developing evaluation tools appropriate to indigenous patient's needs and complimentary to work we are currently doing on medical trust.

We have been active participants in the development of this application and as such fully­ believe it will have direct benefit to the communities we serve. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Dr. Kitson through continued efforts to transfer dermatology knowledge and skills into the community.

RE: Proposal for Telemedicine proof of concept model

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to provide my full support for the Telemedicine Proof of Concept submission to the second round of the FoM Strategic Investment Fund call for proposals. The proposed team of clinicians and researchers is set to examine critical issues with respect to telemedicine and has the potential for dramatic improvement in the lives of British Columbians in the North.

As the co-Director (interim) of the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation (C2E2) it is my pleasure to commit to this project highly qualified research staff and trainees to assist Dr. Dutz and the team in the evaluation of this initiative. We will provide expertise both on clinical evaluation (i.e., outcomes assessment) and economic evaluation (i.e., assessment of costs in relation to outcomes).

I have met with Dr. Dutz and team members and numerous occasions over the last several months and feel that there is an excellent fit between the objectives of this project (and the Dept. of Dermatology more broadly) and C2E2's mission of supporting high quality health services research for the purposes of impacting patient outcomes and health system transformation. At the Centre, we have expertise in health services, health economics, health policy, biostatistics and patient engagement and thus are well suited to support the project and the Dept of Dermatology through this work.

Please contact me should there be any questions or if further information is required. Again, I am extremely positive about this project and the potential collaboration between C2E2 and the Dept of Dermatology.

In reply to: Telemedicine proof-of-concept model Dr. Jan Dutz, Professor and Head UBC Department of Dermatology and Skin Science UBC Skin Care Centre 835 West 10th Avenue Vancouver, BC V5Z 4E8

Dear Dr. Dutz:

As Director of the BC Centre for Vulvar Health, I am writing to provide a strong letter of support for your Department's proposal regarding the use of telemedicine to support enhanced rural and remote dermatology service.

In BC, one in five women will suffer from >3 months of significant vulvar symptoms. Women who have vulvar diseases are often too embarrassed to seek help from a health care provider, and if and when they seek help, they face numerous barriers to receive timely and effective care.

Women in B.C. seek help from multiple health care providers: Family Doctors, Gynaecologists, Urologists, Alternative Medical Practitioners, even Emergency Room doctors. These clinicians may not be familiar with the range of common and rare medical conditions that can affect the vulva, and/or competent in performing an examination of the vulva and vagina - thus misdiagnosis is common. This situation results in multiple visits to other health care providers, and ultimately a delay in accurate diagnosis.

Empiric treatment (initiation of treatment prior to determination of a firm diagnosis) of vulvar diseases is common but usually not helpful. Women will report years of symptoms before an accurate diagnosis is made, and effective treatment is started. Not surprisingly, the health care provided to these women in B.C. is often perceived as not helpful.

Telephone: 604-875-4268 Fax: 604-875-4860

Proposal from University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine, dated ... Page 121 of 137 AGENDA ITEM Q. 3.

Page 2 Re: Telemedicine Proposal

Many women with chronic vulvar diseases also report a moderate or severe impairment of quality of life that is exacerbated by a delay in diagnosis. These women report adverse effects on their physical quality of life, daily living activities, body image, psychological health, sexual health, and their personal relationships. Some vulvar skin conditions are associated with an increased risk of developing vulvar cancer and a delay in diagnosis can affect their prognosis.

There are ongoing challenges in providing high quality patient-centered care to women with. chronic and complex vulvar diseases. These include: a large demand for these services; lack of experts in the area ofvulvovaginal health; and a limited scope of health care provided to affected women.

While the new Centre for Vulvar Health offers diagnostic and therapeutic services to all women in BC, many women are unable, for personal and financial reasons, to travel to Vancouver for expert assessment. This has resulted in clinicians seeking advice by emailing photos of their patients' vulvas to myself. Given the nature of the photos clearly it would be more acceptable for affected women, referring clinicians, as well as myself, that this consult was facilitated by a formal process that protected patient privacy.

This telemedicine proposal aligns with one of the Centre's long-term goals - the development of online consultation service for physicians in rural and remote communities to support the early diagnosis and community follow up of uncomplicated chronic vulvar diseases. I strongly support the Department's proposal as I believe that it will provide a venue for clinicians; to seek access to expert advice, facilitate the early diagnosis of vulvar conditions, reduce the secondary psychosexual morbidity associated with these conditions, and allow women to receive this care in their communities.

With respect,

Dear Neil

Re: Support Letter to provide access to dermatology tele-medicine and education services to rural and remote communities

The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) wishes to express its support for the Strategic Investment Fund Proposal as submitted by Jan Dutz - Professor and Head, Department of Dermatology and Skin Science.

The Austral ian College of Rural and Remote Medicine is accredited by the Australian Medical Council (AMC) for setting professional medical standards for training, assessment, certification and continuing professional development in the specialty of general practice. It is the only College in Australia dedicated to rural and remote medicine, and plays an important role in supporting junior doctors and medical students considering a career in rural medicine.

It is committed to delivering sustainable, high-quality health services to rural and remote communities by providing quality education programs, innovative support, and strong representation for doctors who serve those communities.

The College supports the proposal as it aims to provide access to dermatology tele-medicine and education services to rural and remote communities. The notion of providing support to rural and remote doctors to allow them to provide a greater scope of practice to their communities (especially to first peoples) fits well with the philosophy of ACRRM.

ACRRM has been developing a close relationship with UBC in recent years and currently has a number of programs in development to formalise this relationship for the mutual benefit of both our membership bases.

ACRRM Is already committed to providing free trial access for a limited number of UBC medical professionals to access the ACRRM Tele-Derm platform. Should this proposal go head we would look forward to expanding this arrangement to a wider range of medical professionals - and to a wider range of content. This proposal would allow UBC members to access not only Tele-Derm - but also other dermatology modules on eczema, skin surgery and downloadable clinical notes. Access would also include access to around 100 online modules on topics as diverse as retrieval medicine, palliative care, and radiology . Our online modules are largely written by rural doctors and always with the rural and remote context in mind.

We believe this proposal could lead to the development of a great service for the benefit of rural and remote communities, and will help to forge a stronger relationship between our two organisations .

Request for letters of support for "Telemedicine proof-of-concept model for a rural and remote dermatology service"

The First Nations Health Authority North Region is delighted to write this letter of support for the "Telemedicine proof-of-concept model for rural and remote dermatology services". Dermatology services are and have continued to be challenge to access in northern BC and First Nations living in rural and isolated locations have been further challenged by timely access and care to this much needed specialized service.

The North region FNHA understands that this grant application was submitted to the UBC Faculty of Medicine Strategic Innovation Fund Feb 28, 2018. We are told it has been reviewed favorably, subjectto some revisions.

We are pleased to povide an expression of interest for a project that has been developed to explore and promote a new model for provision of dermatology services; specifically, a combination oftelemedicine, education (transfer of knowledge and skills to rural doctors), and building relationships between dermatologists, First Nations and rural communities. Further to this our organization has a keen interest in working with partners to support and operationalize;

1. Primary care dermatology curriculum for rural practitioners.

2. Collaborative design; i.e., consultation on how proposed measurements of clinical effectiveness (e.g., Dermatology Life Quality Index) could be practically integrated into rural GP work flow in order to minimize work and align and integrate with the new Primary Care Networks being developed across the province.

1. Practical support for trial; e.g., helping to incorporate such measurements into EMRs (particularly MOIS), support in some form for telemedicine infrastructure (e.g., BlackBerry BBM Enterprise, Webex), and participation in evaluating UBC Dermatology education initiatives such as website development.

2. Interest in the potential of scaling up this model to serve wider areas, depending on outcome.

3. Awareness that this model includes continuation of REAP funding to make possible dermatology resident rotations in rural and remote medicine. We believe these exposures to rural, remote, and indigenous communities is crucial to future dermatology care.

4. Awareness that this model inevitably exposes some NMP students to rural dermatology practice.

5. Awareness that alternative funding models might be considered for the proposed model of practice.

FNHA is excited about the opportunity for cultural safe care and education for providers in this area of practice for integration/ connection and awareness with traditional practices for addressing skin concerns. Thank you and we look forward to a positive response for the selection of this project.

Dear Dr. Jan Dutz and Dr. Neil Kitson,

Letter of support for "Telemedicine proof-of-concept model for a rural and remote dermatology service"

Northern Health has been unsuccessful to recruit resident dermatologists for the past 5 years. The North is dependent on limited itinerant dermatology services and these are limited to only certain areas in the North. Timely access to dermatology services is a challenge for physicians and patients in the majority of Northern areas.

This tele-dermatology services project is very timely project and would be trialing a new model for the provision of dermatology services. It combines telemedicine, education (transfer of knowledge and skills to rural doctors), and building relationships between dermatologists and rural communities. Northern Health understands this is a trail, and we believe if successful, this has the potential to be a model that could improve access to dermatology services for patients and physicians in the majority of areas in the North.

Northern physicians will benefit from the development of a primary care dermatology curriculum that is based on the Australian model "Tele-Derm" Australian Model. This model is sponsored by the Australian College of Rural and Remote medicine and the Australasian College of Dermatologists.

Northern Health would be interested in helping with designing the study in the following areas: a) Planning proposed measurements of clinical effectiveness (e.g., Dermatology Life Quality Index) and how these measures could be practically integrated into rural GP work flow in order to minimize work. b) How measurements can be incorporated into the EMR's especially MOIS. c) How EMR's can be used to help with the evaluation of this project. d) How NH could provide support in the form of Telehealth infrastructure and e) Feasibility of access to transcription services.

Northern Health supports this application for funding and we hope the application will be considered favorably and look forward to working with all the stakeholders to implement this project.

Sincerely,

BACKGROUND

The UBC Faculty of Medicine's Division of Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD) was requested by Dr. Neil Kitson to discuss opportunities to collaborate on developing an online dermatology education portal for healthcare practitioners in BC. The proposed on line portal would contain dermatology educational resources and activities to help better support primary care providers.

Since 2011, the Shared Care funded BCConsultDerm has improved access to specialists through a secure on line system that allows family physicians to submit a digital photo and relevant information for viewing and assessment by a dermatologist. The specialist then provides diagnosis and treatment recommendations to the family physician. Despite BCConsultDerm's many successes, patients are still being referred to specialists with conditions that could be diagnosed and treated by primary care providers. This, coupled with a shortage of dermatologists, compounds the difficulty in accessing dermatological care in the Province.

Limited access to dermatologist is not isolated to BC. Similar challenges exist in Australia where the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) has developed an online resource called Tele-Derm (website link). This differs from the supports available in BC because in addition to access to consultation, family physicians are provided with resources, education cases, procedural videos, and an opportunity to further improve their knowledge of dermatology through participation in a designated 'case of the week' and discussion of current cases submitted for diagnosis by participating physicians in Australia.

In order to further support family physicians in urban, remote, and isolated communities in BC, UBC CPD proposes a similar approach to Tele-Derm. The proposed on line portal will provide educational resources such as videos, interactive case studies, assessment quizzes, discussion forums, and printable check-lists. Content will be tailored to BC physicians by responding to local needs and providing local resources and contacts.

UBC CPD offers a growing library of on line courses and resources that are very popular with BC healthcare providers as participants receive high quality, up-to-date, convenient, accessible and relevant CME from their homes, offices and mobile devices. UBC CPD participants have requested additional programs be delivered in this format, and recent literature shows that online learning can be as effective as in-person educational sessions. It also provides the opportunity to reach physicians in rural and remote communities.

Program details, a proposed timeline, and budget are included in the following pages.

B UT U PD

The Division of Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD) is a unit within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. UBC CPD partners and collaborates with local, provincial, and national health care organizations to design and deliver high-quality, evidence-based education that promotes practice improvement and enhances patient care.

The strength of UBC CPD lies in its people and relationships the organization has developed across the Faculty of Medicine, the province, and the country. UBC CPD is a tremendously productive unit supporting many of the 12,000+ physicians across the province with their CPD needs. UBC CPD accredits hundreds of programs each year through our Accreditation office and the office continues to work toward developing and offering CPD for other health professions within the Faculty of Medicine and beyond.

UBC CPD is a "one stop shop" for partners and stakeholders in CPD because the office can lead or get involved with all stages of an initiative-from conception, to curriculum design, to the development of a research, evaluation, and knowledge translation strategy, to the execution or implementation of educational programming. UBC CPD is nimble and responsive to learner needs. The office addresses these needs with high-quality, evidence-based, multi-modal education strategies.

Our Vision

To be leaders in health improvement through innovative continuing professional development.

Our Mission

To research, develop, implement, and evaluate continuing professional development {CPD) initiatives for physicians and other health professionals to optimize clinical practice and the delivery of patient care in order to improve health outcomes. As an academic unit, UBC CPD follows and contributes to best practices in CPD, including quality and practice improvement in BC and at national and international levels.

From: Collins, Eryn < [email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2019 2:48 PM To: Communications Account Cc: Collins, Eryn; Quinn, Jessica Subject: NH Facebook groups for communities - Terrace & Kitimat pilot

Good afternoon,

We are writing to let you know about an exciting initiative the Northern Health communications team is undertaking as a pilot project, which will affect public communications for Terrace and Kitimat area!_

The NH Digital Communications and Public Engagement team's strategy includes expansion in our social media work to better reach people in communities. One of our goals in this strategy is to create online community forums, in the form of Facebook groups for communities. This will allow us to: 1. Better directly (and more quickly) reach members of the community (for the purposes of sharing emergent info, for example), 2. Hear back from them about community specific issues, 3. Engage directly with them to find solutions and offer our messaging/resources/etc. 4. Provide a space where community members can reach us directly and engage in health messaging.

The Terrace/Kitimat group is live now here: https://facebook.com/groups/NHTerraceKitimat/. We encourage you to please join, and share with your local networks!

NH Facebook groups for communities will be monitored 24/7 (as are Northern Health general social media pages), so that we can respond quickly and appropriately, and direct people to the best resources.

This is a pilot project, so we will be working out some issues as we go, and welcome any of your feedback and questions at any time.

Thanks in advance!
