Jul 27 - HA Working Group Session

MVP Discussion

• FHA signed off

• VCH signed off

• IH signed off

• VIHA signed off

  • Will need to obtain sign-off from Nic van Westen. Cynthia Lodge represented VIHA but she will not be the end-user completing the form and therefore cannot comment on certain aspects.

• NHA: Allison Smook was stepping in for Ana Paterson. CGI confirms that based on the 1:1 interview, the current MVP meets NHA’s needs.

Beds & Occupancy: Data Collection

• HAMIS, HCC Details

  • HAMIS receives quarterly submissions from HAs. Team provides monthly reporting. ALR + BC Catalogue LTC licensing data.

  • On a monthly basis they look at the Open/Close at the facility level. Helen’s team makes adjustments only for the newly opened facilities.

  • Does not contain the bed numbers on a monthly basis. 

  • HCC does not capture utilization of beds. In terms of bed capacity, HAMIS collects only “open to be used” beds. At a certain date, they want to know how many beds are open and available to be used.

• Beds

  • Appears that only the private bed breakdown would be required in the LTC submission as it is not part of HCC → could it be added to the HCC submission? 

  • FHA would ideally like to get monthly breakdown (nice-to-have) but it is not a must-have. There is the option to make the monthly breakdown as an optional section.

Beds & Occupancy: Sign-off from HAs

Comments from each HA:

• IHA: Keeping with current state (quarterly) would be sufficient. Monthly data reported quarterly.

• VIHA: Quarter would be sufficient. Gets quarterly. No Monthly breakdown. Cannot respond whether the Operators will be ok to provide that breakdown.

• VCH: Quarter would be sufficient. Gets quarterly. No Monthly breakdown. No issues to provide Monthly.

• FHA: Month would be ideal state but Quarter is fine. Gets quarterly currently.

• NHA: Quarter would be sufficient. Not sure about the monthly breakdown.

General

• Would be beneficial to have a consolidated log of where we are asking for net new info with regards to data collection.

• Bonnie/Killian confirmed that the form will allow for bed additions and input the start date.

• Need to ensure we continue to develop the definitions of the data points being collected - Bonnie has already started this work.

Next Week’s Agenda

• Focus on sign-off for staffing plan section. Move onto DCH if time permits.
