3. Report from the COOs· SI. John's<br />
Members of the Medical Advisory Committee raised concerns about the inadequacy of funding in<br />
the budget for medical capital equipment. Members felt that equipment is kept far beyond its life<br />
span. There is anever-ending process of upgrades to equipment. Some equipment is being<br />
funded through operating funds. This problem not only impacts our ability to deliver timely and<br />
adequate medical services, but also impacts negatively upon Medical School education, our ability<br />
to recruit and retain specialists and on the accreditation process. Given that we have over $100 M<br />
dollars in medical capital equipment, with the normal lifespan of some 10 years it is impossible to<br />
plan for the timely replacement of this equipment without adequate funds being available on an<br />
annual basis. Members of the MAC felt strongly that the Board of Trustees should be advised of<br />
this serious situation and that this matter should be brought to the attention of Government so that<br />
this can be rectified both in the short and long term.<br />

Report to the Board of Trustees<br />
EASTERN HEALTH<br />
Medical Advisory Committee<br />
Acute Care Hospitals- St. John's<br />
October 25, 2006<br />
There has been one meeting of the Medical Advisory Committee, Acute Care<br />
Hospitals - St. John's since the last meeting of the Board of Trustees held on<br />
October 11, 2006.<br />
CONFIDENTIALITY<br />
Dr. Rockwood reported that disciplinary action, with respect to mishandling of electronic<br />
charting, is occurring within the Day Surgery section of the Perioperative Program. It is<br />
recognized that confidentiality and inappropriate use of patient electronic record access<br />
is a serious concern. The Department of Surgery is extremely concerned with the<br />
methodology presently being used to discipline personnel in this area. This has already<br />
had serious implications, not only for the people being disciplined, but for the clinical<br />
care for patients in the Day Surgery Department. There is likely a significant ripple-down<br />
effect that will impede patient care throughout the hospital. Dr. Rockwood did not<br />
condone inappropriate access of information by personnel, but it was felt that the<br />
discipline process being used engenders a climate of fear and intimidation.<br />
There was considerable discussion at the meeting about patient record access by<br />
nurses, physicians, educators, researchers, etc. Specific concern was raised over the<br />
Federal Privacy Act and its implications for all parties as of January 1, 2007. Several<br />
education programs are contemplating actions in preparation for January 1, 2007. It was<br />
suggested that the Medical ,Staff Association could also plan education sessions on this<br />
important and far-reaching topic.<br />
RECRUITMENT - MEDICAL STAFF OFFICE<br />
Dr. Scott Wilson stressed the need for an appropriate professional, comprehensive<br />
recruitment program/office for recruitment of physicians to Eastern Health. The<br />
physician recruitment market is very competitive and he felt that Eastern Health was not<br />
as organized or professional in its approach to physician recruitment as other<br />
institutions, Dr. Howell advised that he will be reviewing the entire recruitment process<br />
for Eastern Health. It was agreed that a personal approach and clinical chief involvement<br />
should continue to be important factors in a well-organized and comprehensive<br />
recruitment program.<br />
