He does not know what the Scarborough General Hos- pital (the other hospital identified in the report) is doing, he said, but the policy at the Wingham hospital is that patients are invoiced on discharge for their private or semi -private rooms and can either pay at that time or the hospital will wait until they get paid by their insurance companies.

"That's not our 'Whey here at the hospital." The report originated .on a consumer a fairs program on "CBC radio's Metro Morning show Tuesday - morning, which identified Scarborough General and Wingham and District as the only two hospitals in Ontario which require patients to pay in advance for extra room charges. Mr. Baxter said that following the program the switchboard just lit up with calls, adding he was astonished at how many local people must have been listening. Later that morning Mr. Hayes was a guest on Bill Thomson's Open Line program on FM 102 to rebut the charges. program in future The Wingham and District Hospital will have to look at establishing a quality assurance program to en- sure it continues meeting the standards of hospital ac- creditation, hospital board_. members were told last week. In informing the board of an upcoming accreditation survey this March, Adminis- trator Norman Hayes said quality assurance is one area which is being pushed very hard. It does not necessarily mean the hospital will do' anything different in the way it operates, he explained. Mostly it involves establish- .ing_a...system of ensuring everything. that should be done is done. Quality assurance "mea- surestthe (junytity of Bare and' takes the necessary steps to attain the desired level," he added. It tries to set criteria for various,areas of opera- tion, such as cleaning and maintenance schedules or • keeping of medical records: medical records.. These criteria then are monitored by a committee in "an ongoing process that continues forever." Asked by Robert Mid- dleton whether this would mean more red tape and bookwork, Mr. Hayes said the hospital already is doing most of those things in a less formal way. It will require increasing bureaucratiza- tion, he said. He added it would not require a full-time person to run the program in a hospital the size of this one, so it is possible several hospitals could get together and share a coordinator. Responsibility for ad- ministering the program has -ben _handed to the ,joint conference committee, a committee of board mem- bers, medical staff and administration. The accreditation survey is a voluntary process by which hospitals invite an outside panel to confirm they are meeting standards of operation and health care.
