4 Accountability Statement The Annual Accountability Report on Emergency Departments for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, is prepared pursuant to Section 6 of the Emergency Department Accountability Act. This Act requires that the District Health Authorities (now considered the NSHA) and the IWK Health Centre report on all emergency department closures, hold public consultations in communities that have experienced a pattern of ongoing closures, and report on the outcomes of those consultations directly to the Minister of Health and Wellness. Four hospitals in the province have established hours of operation that are different than 24/7. Hours that these facilities are not opened are considered scheduled hours of closure and were established after consultation with their communities. Emergency department closures that are unpredictable and unplanned are considered temporary closures. These were a result of emergency department staff (doctors, nurses, or paramedics) unavailability. Temporary closures present a challenge for both patients and the provincial emergency care system. In 2015/2016, sixteen hospitals experienced temporary closures. We acknowledge that this accountability report is the responsibility of the Department of Health and Wellness and is, to the greatest extent possible, a complete and accurate representation of emergency department closures reported by the District Health Authorities (now considered the NSHA) and IWK Health Centre in Nova Scotia between April 1, 2015 and March 31, Honourable Leo A. Glavine Minister of Health and Wellness Dr. Peter W. Vaughan Deputy Minister 3
5 rch 31, 2016 Nova Scotia s Emergency Departments Nova Scotia Health System Annual Accountability Report ON EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS April 1, March 31, 2016 Enhancing Emergency Care in Nova Scotia Emergency departments (EDs) in Nova Scotia are an integral part of the health care system, providing rapid assessment and management of patients with unknown or unexpected problems as well as those with deteriorating pre-existing illness or injury requiring emergency care. In recent years, enhancements in emergency care in the province have focused on improving access to quality patient care that best meets the need of local communities. This has been demonstrated through the implementation of Collaborative Emergency Centres (CECs) and through the establishment of regular hours of operation within some facilities. 4
6 Collaborative Emergency Centres Hours of Operation and Scheduled Hours of Closure CECs provide same day or next day access to primary health care (physicians and nurse practitioners) for extended hours. During night time hours, for most CECs, there is a collaborative care team available that consists of paramedics and/or Registered Nurses who are supported by an Emergency Health Services physician who provides oversight by being available by phone for consultation. In communities where the CEC model has been implemented, the frequency of these unscheduled, temporary, ED closures have been significantly reduced, providing area residents with reliable access to emergency care. As of March 31, 2016, there are eight facilities across the province that have implemented this model of care and planning continues for additional CECs to be established. Four EDs have established regular hours of operation that are less than 24/7 to provide consistent access to safe and quality care. Hours that these facilities are not opened are considered scheduled hours of closure. These facilities implemented these scheduled closures when faced with one or more of the following challenges in keeping their ED open: Core staffing A limited number of patients visiting the ED during overnight hours Inability to safely staff the ED at peak hours Instability in providing consistent ED access Meeting the needs of the local community in which the facility was located FACILITY South Cumberland Community Care Centre All Saints Springhill Hospital Lillian Fraser Memorial Hospital Annapolis Community Health Centre North Cumberland Memorial Hospital Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital Musquodoboit Valley Memorial Hospital New Waterford Consolidated Hospital COMMUNITY Parrsboro Springhill Tatamagouche Annapolis Royal Pugwash Musquodoboit Harbour Middle Musquodoboit New Waterford EMERGENCY HOURS OF SCHEDULED DEPARTMENT OPERATION HOURS OF CLOSURE Fishermen s Open daily from 3,294 Memorial 7:30 am to 10:30 pm Hospital Musquodoboit Open daily from 4,392 Valley Memorial 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Hospital New Waterford Open Tuesday to 3,644 Consolidated Saturday 7:00 am Hospital to 5:00 pm. The Mobile Care Team also operates Tuesday to Saturday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm Northside Beginning in 6,222 General December 2014, Hospital Open daily from 8:00am to 3:00 pm 5
7 Fishermen s Memorial Hospital (Lunenburg) Fishermen s Memorial Hospital s ED began overnight closures, (10:30 pm to 7:30 am daily) in July 1, 2008, after experiencing frequent closures due to staffing issues and a low number of patient visits between midnight and 7:00 am (average of 1 to 2 visits per night). Establishing hours of operation has helped ensure that the ED is safely staffed during its busiest times and has provided a more reliable, consistent level of service to the community. Musquodoboit Valley Memorial Hospital (Middle Musquodoboit) Due to lack of physician resources, Musquodoboit Valley Memorial Hospital (MVMH) has operated under a new model of care since July This model included an ED that operated from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday to Friday in conjunction with a collaborative care clinic, which provided sameday appointments with family physicians and improved access to primary care. There was 24-hour access to the ED on Saturdays and Sundays. This model of care helped with the retention of family doctors and provided stable regular ED hours for community residents. MVMH converted to a CEC model in March 2013 and regular hours of operation were modified and are now 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, 7 days per week. New Waterford Consolidated Hospital (New Waterford) New Waterford officially transitioned to a CEC on September 30, However, this model of care was phased in beginning in June The New Waterford CEC model provides enhanced access to primary care (physicians and nurse practitioners) from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm Tuesday to Saturday. Additionally, this model provides care for people with non-urgent health needs in their own home through a Mobile Care Team which includes a Registered Nurse and an Advanced Care Paramedic from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am Monday to Thursday. To accommodate reduced physician availability, in the summer of 2014 New Waterford modified the hours of operation to Monday to Friday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. In December 2014, the hours of operation were modified to the current model of Tuesday to Saturday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. Northside General Hospital (North Sydney) To accommodate ongoing staffing challenges at Northside, scheduled closures were implemented in June At that time, regular ED hours of operation were 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. In December 2014, hours of operation were modified to 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. This was to ensure safe staffing and consistent access to emergency care for residents in and around North Sydney. 6

9 Summary of Temporary ED Closure Hours and Public Consultations by Zone Health human resources continue to be a challenge throughout the province. In 2015/16, temporary ED closures were the result of nursing, physician and paramedic unavailability. For specific dates of closure see Appendix A. In accordance with the EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTABILITY ACT, the District Health Authorities (now considered the NSHA) with an ongoing pattern of emergency department (ED) closures are expected to hold two public consultations throughout the fiscal year with the community served by the ED. The consultation must include consideration for proposed community solutions to mitigate further ED closures.
