Best Clinical and Surgical Practise Guidelines
They are at least making a stab at being responsible for their health-care mandate. "We're going to do our work. The federal government is not needed for this work. They don't deliver health care. The expertise is in the provinces and the territories", admitted British Columbia Premier Christy Clark. An intelligent realist, is she.
"We run 13 distinct health-care operations now across this country and certain provinces are doing certain things better than others. So we think there is a great opportunity for us to be able to collaborate together." And good on P.E.I.'s Robert Ghiz, telling it like it is. Thirteen distinct health-care operations; some excelling, others can learn from them.
There are, in fact, national standards. They're obvious and they're on the to-do agendas of each province's health department. To provide timely, necessary and professional service to Canadians wherever they happen to live. Collectively it is the responsibility of the provinces to ensure that standards are well understood and financed prudently.
When, as one of the premiers pointed out, a neighbouring province suddenly decides to increase professional pay-outs, it disrupts the other province's reliance on its medical professionals who may decide to re-locate, or who will chafe under the knowledge that their province isn't ponying up to the same extent. Professional poaching should be frowned upon.
The premiers and territorial leaders have decided to establish an investigation in key areas of medicare with a view to improving patient care, and in the process identify where funding can best be invested in the country's $130-billion system. Good start. How much to recompense health care workers, who should treat patients, what types of treatments to apply.
And in the best of all possible worlds, make all the conclusions adaptable to each of the provinces's needs to reflect a consensus that Canadians should be able to rely on the same high-value treatment wherever they live. It is up to the premiers and territorial leaders, after all, to responsibly and parsimoniously seek the best value and outcomes both for people and health institutions.
Saskatchewan's Brad Wall and P.E.I.'s Robert Ghiz will co-chair the Health Care Innovation Working Group. From them we should expect much. To conclude with a formula that will work best for Canada, coast to coast. Deciding on best practices for maximum advantage in reflection of, for example: Scope of practise; Human resources management; Clinical practise guidelines.
It is, after all, their responsibility, because while funding is shared with the federal government, the allocation, and provision of health services is the responsibility of the provinces.
