2. The arbitrariness of .the
present system of bed allo-
cations should be reduced by
calculating the number of
beds to be funded based on a
weighted average number of
beds, rather than the maxi-
mum number of beds in use
at any one point in the year.
3. The concept of referral
population should be modi-
fied to accommodate more
fully population mixes,
especially the large number
of elderly people in certain
hospital areas.
4. Referral population
should be calculated on
patient days rather than
patient separations.
5. Where more than one
hospital is located within a
hospital centre, any pro-
posed bed allocations should
be divided amongst those
hospitals on the basis of their
share of the total referral
population.
6. Recognizing that the
Minister has established a
Committee on Hospital
Resource Allocation and
Budgets, the committee has
recommended to the Min-
ister and the Committee on
Hospital Resource Allcication
and Budgets that bed allo-
cation guidelines should be
applied with sensitivity to the
local situation and in consult-
ation with local health plan-
ning agencies.
7. The committee recom-
mends that the ten bed
cushion continue indefinitely;
8. Financial rewards for
efficient hospitals should be
factored into the budget
calculations.
9. The committee should
endorse the efforts of hosp-
itals, district health councils
and other local health plan-
ning agencies to rationalize
health services where appro-
priate by encouraging co-
operative planning among
hospitals. The committee
also supports the use of
independent experts to assist
hospitals in examining their
operations.
10. The committee recom-
mends that a hospital appeal
mechanism be established.
