Hospital/Community Partnership Program concept was revealed by Health Minister Peter Dueck in May, and in an — interview last week Mills Memorial administrator Michael Leisinger said four ideas are be- - _ ing examined closely on the local level. The stated objective of the _ program is to ‘‘assist hospitals in | . ~- making the best use of their resources’’ through cooperation with other health-related agen- "gies in the community. There is - tan.iscentive.of one-half of one percent of the hospital’s annual operating budget- available for ° implementing the program. -Leisinger said Mills Memorial is exploring the possibility of four programs that would take “care of the needs of some pa-- tients--outside -the~ hospital,~ . reducing the use of beds: @ Palliative care — this is a term for care of people who are dying, and for whom medical science can provide no further improvement. It could take the form of a residential setting with nursing -care. Leisinger points ‘out that it isn’t a good use of resources to place people who are untreatable in $400-a-day hospital beds. og. e@ Adult day care — the setting for this program would probab- ly be the Terraceview Lodge. It would provide activities and op- portunities to socialize for elder- ly people who are living in- dependently in the community. The object would be prevention of health problems by keeping people active. - @ Short-term treatment and as- sessment — many illness can be wholly cured or held in check if discovered at an early stage. This preventative program could reduce acute care demands on the hospital as a long-term strategy. @ Day care for psychiatric out- patients — this is a program that could be established through co- operation with Mental Health, freeing up staff and resources at the Mills Memorial psychiatric unit, Leisinger said the old nurses’ residence, located on the hospital grounds and currently Police report For the weekend’ of Oct. 20-22, Terrace RCMP re- ported seven motor vehicle accidents.
