Brighter Futures’ Injury Prevention Program
Submitted by Erma Campbell, MIB Health Promotion Worker
Keeping Tack of your Medicine
Seniors may be more prone to illness due to the weakening of the body's natural defences. It's not surprising, therefore,
that many require a greater number of drugs to treat their health problems. Because seniors also tend to have more
than one health problem, they may receive multiple prescriptions or they may combine prescription drugs with overthe-counter products or with natural remedies. Given that the aging body is more sensitive to the effects of many medications, the combinations can cancel the benefits of any or all medications and produce adverse reactions, such as
memory loss, sleepiness, agitation and confusion. These effects have been associated with falls and other injuries.
Checklist:
Medication Safety
Have you talked to your health care professional about alternatives to medication? (Medication may not always be the
best solution.) Yes_ No_
Have you told all your doctors and your pharmacist about all of the medicine you're taking (prescription, over-thecounter or herbal) as well as your use of alcohol and/or tobacco? Yes_ No_
Do you read the instructions on each of your medication containers to check for side effects or possible ill effects of
combining one medication with another? Yes_ No_
Do you take your medication exactly as prescribed or know of any alternative instructions should you forget to take it?
Yes_ No_
Do you have a list of what medications you are currently taking, and is your family aware of it? Yes_ No_
If you have medication allergies, do you wear a bracelet or necklace to show this? Yes_ No_
Do you use only one pharmacy for all your prescription needs? Yes_ No_
Have you gone through your medicine cabinet and discarded any medicines that are past the "Best before" date? Yes_
No_
Whenever you get a new medicine, do you ask for and obtain all the information on its use and side effects? Yes_ No_
TIPS:
Don't mix drugs and alcohol. Alcohol can react with many common medications, including tranquillizers, sleeping pills,
cold or allergy medicines, high blood pressure pills and pain medication. To inform your doctor(s) or pharmacist about
all the medications you take, put all your medications, including herbal remedies, over-the-counter and nonprescription medicines in a bag and take it to your next doctor's appointment or pharmacy visit.

Musqueam Health Department Newsletter Feb.6, 2015
If your medication causes dizziness or sleepiness, adjust your activities so your aren't at risk of falling.
Margaret’s Story
Margaret Deschamps believes in being on top of the medications she's taking. One of her friends suffered from an accidental overdose of medication because she'd gone to two different doctors and was prescribed two different drugs with
similar ingredients. Margaret has always been careful about her medicine, and this made her even more so.
"I make sure I know everything there is to know about my medication's side effects and bad combinations. I've found out
that there's one pill I take that can't be combined with grapefruit! It's really important to ask the questions. There's no reason to be afraid: you ask, and you get an answer. When you go to the drugstore, they can write everything down for you
*about your medication+, the side effects and all. They'll even check if you're taking medication from another doctor."
As Margaret explains, "You can often have several doctors: a general practitioner, a heart specialist, a rheumatologist, etc.
And one doesn't always know what the other ones are giving you. But if you go to the same drugstore and you're prescribed something that, along with your other medication, could cause an adverse reaction or an overdose, they can let
you know. They can contact the doctors, if necessary. This is a marvelous service that many drugstores offer now."

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HUB
COMMUNITY DINNER & HEALTH FORUM
A Community Dinner and Health Forum was held on November 18, 2014 at the Chief Joe Mathias Centre in North Vancouver for community members from Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam. Presenters from the First Nations Health Authority, First Nations
Health Council, First Nations Health Directors Association, Vancouver Coastal Health and the Division of Family Practice presented information and answered questions on key developments in the area of First Nations health and wellness. Around 150 people attended
the event. The following questions were submitted for follow up. If you have any questions, please contact Cain Kerehoma, Contracted
Engagement Coordinator by email Cain@kahuitautoko.ca or phone (778) 847-6886.
Questions
How long can a hospital hold a patient for? And do the Dr’s get paid for holding a patient if there is no plans made for the patient?
Generally speaking, people who are mentally competent have the right to accept or reject any medical care, which includes the right
to leave hospital. However in some cases involving serious mental health issues or concerns, a person may be sent to hospital even if
they don’t want to go, and requires a doctor’s approval before leaving.
Payment for doctor services depends on a number of factors. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns or queries. You can also take
contact the Ministry of Health who can provide more information – www.gov.bc.ca/health or phone 8-1-1.
If you would like to make a formal complaint regarding the quality of care that you or a loved one has received, or you would like more
information about making a complaint, then you can contact the Patient Care Quality Office at Vancouver Coastal Health Authority:

If my medical files are in Vancouver then I see a doctor on the North Shore, what happens with my files?
Your current Doctor will request information from your previous doctor when you consent for your records to be moved. If you wish
to see the medical records your doctor has on you, just ask to see them. Under the BC Personal Information Protection Act, you have a
right to see the information. And the doctor will normally show you the records or give you the information in them. You can also ask
for a copy of your records, but the doctor may charge you a fee (set by the BC Medical Association) to copy them because medical
insurance does not pay for this.
Vancouver Coastal Health are working to streamline all the information held by Doctors and all of the hospitals on North Shore and
Vancouver, but it is a major undertaking and will take 3-4 years to complete all the work linking the information systems up. Once
complete this will result in better information sharing and improve the quality of care provided.
I am concerned about help for people with addictions and the need for detox and treatment facilities on the North Shore. There
should be more for people in this area. What is being done?
First Nations Health Authority have been assessing the mental wellness and substance use needs within First Nation communities, and
through this work know there is not enough treatment beds to meet all of the current needs. First Nations Health Authority is working
with Vancouver Coastal Health and other health partners to increase access to treatment facilities. From a capital perspective, we
know we have 10-12 treatment facilities across the province but most are 20-30 years old. First Nations Health Authority are working
with Health Canada back to Ottawa to look at the needs of existing facilities, and have identified additional treatment facilities within
the capital funding plans. However capital funding from FNHA is limited to $12m annually across the province so this work will require partnering with other health agencies.
We have lost several people at Musqueam. Adult addictions centre – think we need this in Vancouver not just on North Shore.
Mental health is a huge issue and priority for our community. We need social workers and counsellors – what is the plans for our
area?
Mental wellness and substance use has been identified as the top priority for communities across the region. First Nations Health
Authority and Vancouver Coastal Health are working on a joint Mental Wellness project in Vancouver Coastal region over the next 6
months which will provide First Nation communities with access to an additional 7 full-time mental health experts. Community members can also access Vancouver Coastal Health services at Richmond, St Pauls Hospital, HOpe Centre (Lions Gate Hospital) and VGH.
Health Benefits – what is First Nation Health Authority’s plan for transforming the whole Health Benefits program?
Transformation of Health Benefits is similar to the transformation work in general. Where possible we will make service improvements which are logical and meaningful. We have done good work here from a customer service perspective as well as the recent
rate increases. In terms of the effort of larger transformation it take time to ensure we have the appropriate information and performed solid analysis to explore future changes. We’ve have also done this with the Buy-Back process and are now conducting an
engagement process to ensure community input is included and drives the direction of an final decisions.
When is the transformation of Health Benefits program going to be complete?
Transformation is more about an ongoing dialogue and relationship with communities and their respective technical and political
leadership. It’s more of a journey than a destination. First Nations Health Authority will continue to engage with communities and
make improvements to the program.
Who made the decision of the increase of 22.5 cents / km to 23 cents / km, and the 29 cents / km for the mileage allowance?
Who was engaged in the process?
Effective October 1, 2014, Health Benefits introduced an increase in mileage rate. The additional investments are a direct result of
our on-going dialogue with First Nations communities and the First Nations Health Directors Association. The per kilometre allowance for private vehicles increased to $0.23/kilometre. This rate was adjusted from $0.22.5 to
better accommodate community needs including efficiencies in data input.
In addition, there is a $0.29/kilometre for communities experiencing higher travel costs. FNHA is currently working to determine an
interim criteria and process for eligibility for the higher rate. We hope to complete this process early in 2015.
Are braces / orthopaedics covered under the health benefits program?
Specific Medical Supplies and Equipment are available to eligible BC First Nations for personal use when all of the following criteria
are met:
The item is on the FNHA Health Benefits program Medical Supplies & Equipment List.
Prior Approval, if required, is granted by the FNHA Health Benefits program.
The item is not available to clients through other federal, provincial, or other third party plan.
The benefit is prescribed by an eligible prescriber.
The item is provided by a FNHA recognized pharmacy or medical supply & equipment provider.
Orthotics (including braces) are current benefit items under the Health Benefit program. Please see our Health Benefits Information
package for more information on benefits here: http://www.fnha.ca/Documents/FNHA_HealthBenefits_InfoPackage.pdfhttp://
www.fnha.ca/Documents/FNHA_HealthBenefits_InfoPackage.pdf or call us at 1.800.317.7878.
Buy back policy from Health Canada – what is being done with the 3 policies under buy back? How and when will the communities be engaged? What is your engagement process?
The FNHA Health Benefits program is currently delivered through a combination of buy-back and FNHA administered services. Claims processing for the benefits that have been transferred to the FNHA on July 2 and October 1, 2013 are being delivered
through an interim ‘buy-back’ arrangement with Health Canada for at least two years. The ‘buy-back’ arrangement ensures continuity of services while the FNHA secures the necessary systems and infrastructure needed to provide future services.
At this time, the FNHA Health Benefits team is focused on maintaining service standards for claims processing while improving client
services. Since transfer, service times have improved across all benefit areas (eg. – dental pre-determinations have been reduced
from 10 weeks to 2 weeks).
Transformation of Pharmacy, Dental and Medical Supplies and Equipment is not possible until we establish our own claims processing systems and structures. In order to build new system, we need to first understand the current and future needs of our citizens.
Research and analysis of health benefit plan design options has been underway since client data was accessible to the FNHA in July
2013. Analysis of available date shows that the majority of FNHA clients using the Pharmacy, Dental and Medical Supplies and Equipment Programs are healthy, and use these programs sparingly. However, a small percentage of clients can be described as Unique
Users. This group represents a disproportionate amount of claims and expenditures. They tend to be older clients with multiple
chronic health concerns.
Presently, the Health Benefits plan is criteria driven with very little client control. Our team will be working with leadership in the
regions to discuss a proposal this fall which will:
Increase individual decision making and control over Health Benefits, including utilizing Health Benefits for prevention and wellness, not just treating injury and illness
Reduce administrative burden for clients
Provide additional wrap around care for the people who need it most
The Health Benefits team has engaged directly with each region this fall to discuss these and other program improvements. We’re
looking forward to further engagement working toward a final plan for third party adjudication this coming May.
How do we hold FNHA accountable?
This is through the established accountability structures at present: Community members can call the FNHA offices and program
contacts directly with issues and concerns; if not resolved there, then concerns can elevate concerns through their community leadership.
As per the established legal structure, the FNHA is accountable to its Board (who is appointed by the First Nations Health Council),
who is accountable to the First Nations Health Council, whose members are accountable to the political leadership of BC First Nation
communities. If there continues to be persistent and ongoing issues, community members can elevate concerns through their established political representation process and structure
Additionally our governance structure created by BC First Nations is dependent on reciprocal accountability at individual, leadership
and regional levels where we all have a role to play.
Who is on the Health Benefits Improvement Committee? Is this where we can hold FNHA accountable for our services?
Health Benefits Implementation committee has both First Nations Health Council and First Nations Health Directors Association representatives along with FNHA leadership. See above for comments on accountability.
How is communication about FNHA relayed to the communities?
The FNHA deploys several communications mechanisms including: www.fnha.ca website, Bi-weekly e-blasts and annual reporting.
Although these have proven effective our most valuable resource is our regional engagement teams. The ability to have ‘feet on the
ground’ serves to establish a relationship where information flows through relevant channels and community has a trusted point of
contact. As the regional teams are further established the Engagement Coordinators will be an integral component of implementing
the engagement planning and communication with communities at meeting/engagement forums.
