Clinic
Medicare Integral to Canadians’ Shared ValuesBy Tracey Mitchell, CHSA Member
Despite the frigid outdoor temperature of -47C with thewind chill, many Community Clinic members and supportersbraved the cold to come out for a warm potluck anddiscussion of a hot topic on the evening of January 18, 2012at Mayfair United Church. The guest speaker for theCommunity Health Services Association Semi-AnnualGeneral Meeting was the Honourable Roy Romanow, formerPremier of Saskatchewan and Head of the 2001 RoyalCommission on the Future of Health Care in Canada.Romanow was greeted affectionately by the crowd and hebegan his formal remarks by thanking the Clinic for the roleit has played in delivering holistic care in Saskatchewan.
Romanow expressed concern about recent FederalGovernment decisions to change the way that health carefunding is provided to the provinces, which decentralizedecisions over the direction of health care and providefunding on a per capita basis, rather than on the provinces’economic realities. He said that this may lead to two or threedifferent Canadas when it comes to health care, and that lesswell-off provinces may be forced to reduce the care that theyprovide. Romanow stressed that there are two competingvisions for health care in Canada, one in which the marketdetermines who gets care, when and how, and another inwhich health care is a right and part of our shared values
as a nation. Despite 94 to 97% support for medicare innational polls, Romanow noted a “palpable momentumtoward individualism, decentralization, privatization anddependence on markets.”
Five lessons on how to ensure that medicare remains partof our shared values in Canada were shared by Romanow.
Electronic Medical Records Underway!
The Community Clinic is implementing electronicmedical records (EMR) beginning May 2012. Our fulltransition will take a year to complete and will have manylong-term benefits. We humbly request your patience as weknow it will take time for our staff to fully develop theirskills to efficiently use the new EMRs. To help us we ask:where possible, plan ahead regarding your health care needs;in the beginning expect to wait longer for appointment datesand please be patient as this is a big change for ourorganization.

They are:
1. The advantage of a single-payer public health system:Romanow noted the need to expand this system toinclude prescription drug coverage and other forms ofcare that are currently not covered by medicare.
2. Keeping the focus on total cost: While manygovernments try to reduce their own cost by passingthe burden on to families, attention and focus mustremain on the total cost of care.
3. Tackling wait times: Canada has the longest wait timesof OECD countries. Romanow noted that this is onearea where our good system needs improvement. Hesaid that society needs to invest in advanced diagnosticsystems and more integrative care.
4. Attending to the social determinants of health: TheCanada Health Act’s primary objective is “to protect,promote and restore the physical and mental well-beingof residents of Canada....” The goal is not simply toprevent disease but to establish well-being and we mustdo so by paying attention to preventative care and
social determinants, according to Romanow.
5. Transformative Change: Romanow spoke of the need tomodernize and transform the system and tackle silosbetween GPs and other professionals, breaking downtraditional barriers among health professionals. Henoted that the model of integrative, holistic, communityapproaches to care, as practiced by the CommunityHealth Services Associations in Saskatchewan, arerelatively rare and need to be replicated and expandedupon.
Romanow’s strongest message of the night is that vigilantdefense of medicare is absolutely essential. The trueguardians of Medicare, he said, are the people of Canada. Heargued that we must not think of Medicare as a done dealwithout constant threats, but rather as a program integral toour values as a nation that must be secured and expandedupon by us all, through public action. Judging by the sizeablecrowd who turned out on such a cold night to hearRomanow’s talk and attend the semi-annual meeting, manywithin our Clinic are prepared to commit to such action.
It is with pleasure that I provide you with a report on theFoundation’s activities for 2011. The Foundation receivedgenerous donations that are directed to many programs andservices that add greatly to the well-being of our community.
The total amount donated to the Foundation in the yearending 2011 was $ 105,500 which is a 20% increase in thetotal amount raised from the previous year. There was also anincrease in the number of donors from previous years.

A new dental clinic operated through the University ofSaskatchewan College of Dentistry opened at WestsideClinic in December. The dental clinic provides much neededservices for the inner city community and also provides aclinical training opportunites for fourth year dentistrystudents.
Operating based on the model of a full service privatepractice dental clinic, with seven chairs and several dentistsand hygienists on staff, Director Dr. Parviz Yazdani is excitedto be able to bring services to what he sees as an underservedneighbourhood. “Access to services is very important anddental care is a key component of overall good health,” saidDr. Yazdani.
Westside Clinic Co-ordinator Cheryl Hand sees the dentalclinic as an exciting and innovative addition to the healthcare team at Westside. “We so often see patients who havenot had access to good dental care, so it is wonderful that wecan now send them downstairs to see a dentist. I’m hopingthat we can also begin to do some preventative care andpatient education, as many of our clients have not had accessto this due to lack of income and limited access to services.”
Currently dentistry students in their final year do a fiveday rotation at the dental clinic, once each semester. They areable, under supervision, to provide a comprehensive range ofservices to clients. The dental clinic is equipped with state ofthe art equipment and can do everything from basic dentalcare, fillings, cleanings, root canals, bridges, crowns andimplants. Services are based on the current Saskatchewanfee guide, but there is a break for those who are not coveredby social services, treaty status or private insurance. Clientswho are on a limited income pay 75% of the fee.
A social worker is working with the dental clinic to help
address patient needs and Dr. Yazdani anticipates that therole the clinic plays in the community will grow over time.“As we grow I would like to see junior dental students comeand work with the community doing educational andoutreach work with schools, the Friendship Inn and women’sshelters.”
“We will not turn anyone away who needs services,” saidDr Yazdani, who is a graduate of the U of S Dental Collegeand has several years private practice experience. The dentalclinic, located in the lower level of Westside Clinic, offers adrop in clinic in the mornings and services by appointment inthe afternoon. You can contact Saskatoon West Dental –Community Clinic directly at 384-6363.
As for the clinic’s philosophy of care; “Every patient hasunique needs and preferences and it is our job to cater tothose to the best of our abilities and in a gentle way.”

Sandy was a social worker with a truecommitment to her senior clients that went wellbeyond the requirements of her position. She foundgreat satisfaction in her work. Sandy recruitedvolunteers for the senior’s activity programs, didone-on-one visits to frail and aging seniors, and
advocated for senior’s issues. She had a strong beliefin health promotion and prevention; she wrotearticles for Focus on seniors’ health issues andcreated information displays for our waiting rooms.She provided support to our Seniors AdvisoryCouncil and participated in the Saskatoon Council onAging. She worked tirelessly as an advocate forseniors on issues such as Elder abuse and safety. Shecould often be found hard at work long after mostother staff had left for the day.
Sandy always had a smile for everyone andtouched the lives of many. She is greatly missed.

Joanne Wilde, Nursing. Thank you Joanne foreleven years of excellent nursing care to ourpatients.
The issue of wait times for patients to see their family doctorwas raised at the semi-annual meeting in January, when memberspassed a resolution to re-introduce Advanced Access. Severalyears ago the clinic introduced Advanced Access, a bookingsystem which, among other features, allowed for a certainnumber of same day appointments for patients who neededimmediate access to care. When supply and demand were equal,this system worked well, however for the past year and a half thenumber of patient appointments required have exceeded thenumber of available appointments.
We share and sympathize with members’ concerns abouthaving to wait longer than they would like to for appointments.Here are some of the actions we have been taking to improve thesituation:
• We continue to recruit physicians to fill shortages• We have introduced clinical office assistants, and continue to
optimize the roles our nurses, nurse practitioners, andpharmacists play in an effort to free up doctor appointmenttimes.
• We continue to take scheduling initiatives such as: havingmore physicians available at peak times; scheduling completephysicals and chronic disease appointments at times whenthere is less demand; addressing multiple patient concerns atone appointment, and attempting whenever possible to retainsome “same day” appointments for urgent concerns.
• We are engaging in Clinical Practice RedesignTM, an initiativethrough the SK Health Quality Council, which includesimproving office efficiencies and access using a patient -centred approach.
We are also doing the best we can to help patients stay healthy,(thereby decreasing the need for urgent care), through regularchronic disease management appointments; improved healthpromotion and disease prevention (Integrative Medicineeducational sessions); increased self-management strategies withgroups such as LiveWellTM, and group medical appointmentsthrough the CenteringPregnancy® and CenteringParenting®
programs.
Your board of directors and clinic staff are actively working ondeveloping a plan to shorten patient wait times and will bereporting further on this in Focus and at the Annual Meeting inJune. Information will also be posted on our website as it becomes available and the complete text of the members’ resolution is posted on our website athttp://www.saskatooncommunityclinic.ca/advocacy.htm.

Electronic Medical Records Transition UnderwayBy Tim Archer, Executive Director
The Saskatoon Community Clinic is moving full speedahead with our planned transition to electronic medicalrecords (EMR). Beginning in May 2012 when you see aCommunity Clinic health care provider, for example, adoctor, nurse or physical therapist, they will be record yourvisit on the computer rather than in a paper chart. There aresome areas where we will continue to use paper charts.However, over the next few years most of our medicalrecords will be kept in an electronic or computer basedformat.
Some of the benefits we will realize from our transition toEMR include:
• Improved individual provider productivity• Improved overall office efficiency• Improved sharing of patient information with other
providers• Improved provider-patient collaboration and sharing
of information• Enhanced ability to coordinate continuity of care for
patients• Improved availability of clinical decision-support tools• Enhanced efficiency in ordering prescriptions,
referrals, lab tests, X-rays, etc.• Improved management of chronic diseases
We have received funding from the Primary Health -Department of Health for this initiative. We are using theirapproved EMR program called Med Access. They areimplementing this program at the Community Clinic as well
as some other primary health care practices in the province.This includes supporting us and the other groups in planningand training of staff.
Our implementation plan has already begun with upgradesto our computer system. We have also started training staffto prepare them for the transition to EMR. Depending on jobresponsibilities there will be different levels of trainingneeded.
Although everyone will be working hard to make thetransition as seamless as possible, there will be impacts onour clients’ access to services. We know it will take time todevelop the skills to efficiently use the new EMR. This willmean a decrease in normal flow-through of patients. Thiscould reflect in increased waiting times for appointments.We are planning several strategies to minimize the negativeimpact on your access to services. We humbly request yourpatience as we make this transition over the next severalmonths. Here are some ways you can make our transition tothe EMR system as seamless as possible:
• Where possible, plan ahead regarding your health care needs.
• Expect to wait longer for appointment dates.• Please be patient.
Implementation of electronic medical records representsbig changes for staff and clients. However, once we make thetransition, it will allow us to better serve clients in ourprovision of excellent primary care.
In celebration of the Saskatoon Community Clinics 50thAnniversary we want to recognize that we have very specialvolunteers that attend Seniors’ Groups every two weeks, helpwith special events, teas, Christmas parties, our twice-a-yearfundraisers (which are bake sales and raffles) and are alwayspleasant, supportive, and patient with our many seniors.
We welcome new volunteers, donations and any questionsregarding services for our seniors. Contact the Seniors AdvisoryCouncil at 664-4283.
