INTRODUCTION OF Nis MEMBERS Dr. Margulies Introduced two new members.of the Council who were in attendance for this meeting. They are: William R. Hunt, M.D., a Commissioner of! the County of Allesheny in Pennsylvania and medical practitioner in McKeesport, Pennsylvania; and Alexander M. McPhedran, M.D., Associate Professor of Internal Medicine (Neurology), Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta. The recent appointment of Mr. C. Robert Ogden was also announced. Mr. Ogden is President of the North Coast Life Insurance Comp pany in Spokane, Washington and Chairman of the Washington/_ Alaska Regional Advisory Group. He will begin his regular attendance - at the next meeting. / . | . 1 REGIONAL MEDICAL PROGRAMS AS A PART OF THE HEALTH SERVICES / AND MENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION - Dr. Vernon Wilson . In his first meeting with the Council as Administrator of the Health services and Mental Health Administration, Dr. Wilson recalled his long interest and first-hand involvement in the development of Regional Medical Programs. He assured the Council of his strong support of Regional Medical "Programs as a part of the broader efforts of HSMHA; He expressed his endorsement of the principles of decentralization of the administration of HSMHA activities generally, and his belief that the concept of Regional | Medical Programs can relate well to these principles. Although the mechanisms will be worked out slowly, he is confident that this can take place without dilution of effort, either in the Regions c or in the headquarters | office. In recognition of the very formidable probleme facing Regional Medical Programs Service, Wilson expressed regret that he was not able at the present time to! ‘resolve the mijor staffing problems. He assured the Council this has very high priority on his working agenda and the fact that he is. as yet unable to report does not indicate that he is not aopively working toward a solution. Dr. Wilson asked the council to meet with him again in approximately six to eight weeks , in|a special one-day session. At that time he is assured he will be able to discuss his plans, as they are based on those of Secretary Richardson, for the organization and administration of the Department's efforts to strengthen and increase the nation's capacity to deliver health services. He indicated also that by that time he would have more definitive plans for the staffing and organization of the Regional Medical Programs Service. |: - Alithoursh his plans will include a reneral outline of the "mission" of Regional Medical Frograms as a part of the HSMHA effort, Dr. Wilson said that he would rely heavily on the advice and guidance of the Council for developing the policies and detailed program directions that would lead to even more efficient and effective cooperative arrangements between the private sector, which they represent , and the Federal effort. | . i | | a | \ | i VI. Vil. ~3- Dr. Wilson told the Council of the resignation of Mr. Irving Lewis as, Deputy Administrator of HSMHA, and about Mr. Lewis' appointment as Professor in the Department of Community Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Mr. Lewis addressed the Council briefly, stating again his faith in the Regional, Medical Programs as; representing "the only concept of true regionalization of health services that can be expected to work" in the United States. Mr. Lewis expressed his thanks to the Council for the many pleasant working relationships he had had with them. Mrs. Florence Wyckoff responded fcr the Council, expressing their appreciation for his assistance to them, especially in helping them to understand the principles of Federal financing of health care and in the area of health economics generally. 5 CONFIRMATION OF FUTURE MEETING DATES _e Council was apprised of the necessity for reverting to a system of four meetings per’ year in order to accommodate the changeover to Anniversary Review. Two new Council dates were set: November 9 and 10, 1970 and February 2 and 3, 1971. —— In addition, September 30, 1970 was set for the special meeting requested by Dr. Wilson. The Council accepted the invitation of. Dr. Edwin Crosby to hold this meeting at the American Hospital Association headquarters in Chicago. ‘This will enable more of the members to travel to and return home from the meeting in a single day. s 4 CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE MARCH 31-APRIL 1, 1970 MEETING The Council unanimously recommended approval of the minutes of the meeting of the Council on March 31-April 1, 1970. A REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR - Dr. Harold Margulies A. Progress of HR 17570 and $3355 Dr. Margulies reviewed the contents of the twc Bills very briefly and referred the Council members to.an analysis prepared by staff which compares the Bills to one another and to the present legislation. This was included in the agenda materials. B. Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1971 Status of the Appropriation Bill was reviewed and the Council was reminded of the various circumstances which impinge on the total amount of "new" funds to be available for major expansion of Regional Medical Programs in FY 1971. Among these are ‘the $1.9 million earmarked for Model Cities activities; the 1% reserve of funds to be used for evaluation VIII. © - 4. activities at DHEW, HSMHA, and RMPS levels; the possibility of administrative "earmarking" of some funds for RMP participation in comprehensive regional kidney disease programs; all in addition to a total amount slightly in excess of $77 million required to meet minimal continuation requirements of ongoing regional activities. C. Funding Strategy Dr. Margulies made a brief introduction of a new management information system being inplemented by RMPS. He also noted the effect of the 1969-70 strategy of permitting Regions almost unlimited rebudgeting of unexpended balances for program expansion. Dr. Margulies stated his intention to begin to apply more stringently guidelines to this kind of rebudgeting and to recapture some of thége balances for reallocation among the Regional Medical Programs in response to evidence of successful regionalization and program development. D. The FAST Recommendations In a brief. review of the recommendations of the Federal Assistance Streamlining Task Force and his plan for responding to them, Dr. | Margulies emphasized the "liaison" role of the DHEW Regional Offices in the development of HSMHA programs generally, and in helping to relate Regional Medical Programs to both publicly and privately—funded programs in the area served; but with the retention of the principal management responsibility in the Regional Medical Programs Service , at the national level. He also mentioned especially the Service's coneern, antedating the Task Force study, for better delineation of the multiplicity of activities now covered by the core budget in Regional Medical Program grants. . , Dr. Margulies explained the intent of RMPS in placing a Program Representative in each of the ten DIIW Remional Offices and described what he sees as the service role of these individuals. PROGRESS NOTES FROM STAFF - A. Contracts under Section 907 — Dr. Margaret Sloan Dr. Sloan gave a brief review and status report on the three contracts made by the RMPS under the terms of Section 907 of Title IX of the- Public Health Service Act, which deals with the "...list or lists of facilities in the United States equipped and staffed to provide the most advanced methods and techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, cancer, and stroke...." The contract with the American Hieart Association in support of the Intersoclety Commission for Heart Disease Resources, has begun serial publication of its report and will continue .to do so throughout the period of the contract. - The Joint Conmittee for Stroke Facilities, supported by a contract with the American Neurological Association, ~ has chosen to withhold publication of its report until it is entirely completed. The report of the Special Advisory Conmittee on Cancer Care Facilities of the Cancer Commission of the American College of Surgeons, which was supported under a contract now completed, has been reviewed by the Regional Medical Programs Service and was received by the National Acvisory Council at the April 1970 meeting. Negotiations between the American College of Surgeons and the RMPS, preparatory to corpletion and RMP approval of this report, are now underway. (This was discussed in more detail with Council during the Executive Session). B. Multi-~Program Services. Project Grants - Mrs. Martha Phillips Authorized under Section 910 of Title IX of the Public Health Service Act, this program of project grants will be implemented for the first time early in FY 1971. The Council was reminded of its original role in the development of the basic guidelines and operating policies for these grants. They were assured that these are reflected in the final edition of the program documents which are now in clearance. The Council expressed its persistent concern about the potential effect of the funding of these grants on the total funds available for Section 904 grants (operational support. to Regions). Dr. Margulies said that he expected to be able to present to the Council at its next meeting, a2 plan for allocation of grant funds that would take into consideration an appropriate distribution of the available dollars between these two major grant activities, C. Regional Medical Programs in Model Cities - Mr. Cleveland Chambliss The Council was reminded of the administrative earmarking of $1.9 million of RMP FY 71 grant funds for use in projects which have direct impact on certain designated Model Cities neighborhoods. Mr. Chambliss outlined the procedure for determining the degree of such impact and obtaining the certification of Model Cities officials in this regard. Although this procedure includes endorsement of DHEW Regional officials, Mr. Chambliss assured the Council that the procedure would entail no authority for further review and approval of these projects beyond the local Regional Advisory Group and the National Advisory Council. Also in response to specific questions, Dr. Marrulies explained that Regional Medical Proprams which are planning and submitting projects to ~6- 3 1 ¢ P| | | | i ! i - serve urban popula’silons néed not plan them exclusively for Model Cities areas and need not seek any endorsement or concurrence beyond their own review ard approval mechanism. I: to , D. Sentor Clinical (Traineeships - Mrs. Martha Phillips I 2 : Mrs. Phillips recalled to the Council che circumstances leading to the Departmental decision to place respons:.bility for the Senior Clinical Traineeship prcgram in Regional Medical Programs Service. She also reported to the Council on the: selection of the first group of Traineeships | to be awarded under RMPS sponsorship. This selection process was carried out by panels of nontFeder'al experts in the cancer field and was chaired’ by Dr. Michael Brennan, to whom the Council delegated authority for the selection of individual trainees to the total extent of $300,000 of I FY 1970 funds. Thirty trainees were selected from among 80 applicants, and represent the disciplines of medicine, gynecology, pathology, pediatrics, radiology, arid surgery. The training will be done in major medical centers throughout the United States. ; E. Guidelines for Instructional Technology - Miss Cecilia Conrath ' | A second edition of these puidelines was before the Council for their consideration. Dr, Pellegrino, who served as Chairman of the Subcommittee to prepare these guidelines, expressed his belief that they are now ready for publication and implementation, with certain rewriting. This is being done by RMPS staff, incorporatirg Dr. Pellegrino's suggestions. t I t |’ ' F. Evaluation Activities - Mr. Roland Peterson = , 7 i In reporting to the Council, Mr. Peterson mentioned the final summation and distribution of the Regional Progress Summaries which resulted from the questionnaire developed and tabulated by his staff; on the Regional Medical Program Evaluation] Conference to be held at the University of Chicago Conference Center in September; and on his plans for evaluation activities in FY 71 Which will be chargeable to the "evaluation earmark." This earmark was explained to the Couneil by both Mr. Peterson and Dr. Margulies as a 1%) administrative reserve to be used for evaluation activities not only at the|program level, but also at the level of HSMHA and DHEW. It is anticipated that something slightly under $1 million could be set aside under these circumstances and could be used by contract or by the Section 910) grant; mechanism, at the discretion of RMPS, with portions of the total withheld for HSMHA and DHEW evaluative activities. The entire matter of evaluation sparked considerable discussion in the Council. It was the consensus that in order for these funds to be effectively utilized,!a much broader concept of evaluation must be developed. There was a good deallof discussion of the contract with Arthur D. Little, Inc. and expression of considerable doubt as to the real value of any findings being reported. Several off the Council members have had individual experience ‘ | \ : f [ ! i f | IX. t I i | _ | -7- with the conduct of the contract activities and feel that thesehave not always been handled in the! best interests of the Program. There was unanimous agreement with the suggestion, made by Dr. Roth and Dr. Cannon, that interim reports jon the progress of such undertakings, either this current one or any future such contracts, be required and that they be Council for review and discussion. The Council made available to the requested a more defiritive report from | contract, particularly as was originally let. Arthur D. Little, Ine. , ‘They also asked to as it relates to the staff on the results of the the purposes for which the contract see the final report from the poon as it is received by RMPS. In summarizing the discussion, Dr. Pellegrino suggested that all | eT evaluation activities s of Regional Medical Proprams as they are u houlld, in the long run, serve to test the viability developing; and if they are found not to be viable to determine why they are not. . t es KIDNEY DISEASE ACTIVITIES IN REGIONAL MEDICAL PROGRAMS Dr. Margulies reviewed for the Council the circumstances leading to the addition, in both the House and Senate vers ions of the continuation lepislation, of kidney disease as one of the specific disease categorical targets of Regional Medical Programs. He asked for guidance of the Council in the development. of a responsive and effective policy for Regional Medical Programs participation in comprehensive regional kidney disease programs throughout the Nation. He is aware that the final definition of such a policy, especially as it would apply to the immediate future, will not be possible until after Congressional action, on Doth the continuation legislation and the appropriations, is complete. In order to provide some, background for their deliberation, Dr. Margulies explained that he had asked the staff to prepare some basic information and to draft some suggested, policy guidelines. agenda materials presented to the Council. These were part of the He then introduced Dr. George Schreiner, Chief, Nephrology Section, Department of Medicine, Georgetown University and Dr. Richard RB. Freeman, Department of Medicine (Nephrology), University of Rochester School of Medicine, whom he had invited to the feet ine to provide expert reference to the Counci1 in their deliberations. Dr. Schreiner made a |detallied presentation of the ' “state of the art" of the management of | chronic kidney disease. He included resume of the techniques and methodologies of screening, diagnosis and therapy; and the shortcomings as well as successes in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. ( ba - | ‘ Nephrology is, Dr. Schreiner said, a new area of specialization. As such it has the disadvantage of a severe shortage of trained specialists; but has the advantage of having few established traditions, and is in che enviable. position of being able to profit from the mistakes made in establishing resources I 5 t f t f I f t for open heart sursery, high voltage radiotherapy, etc. oP ~8- [ | | Organization for the > delivery of servies to patients with kidney disease, Dr. Schreiner believes, lends itself so ideally to regionalization that the: development of lsuch a program can and will serve as a framework for regionalization of service in other more traditionally established disciplines. . Again, as in nearly. all their past discussions of kidney disease, the Council expressed concern about the apparent lack of emphasis on prevention as part of an! overall kidney disease program. Dr. Schreiner and Dr. Freeman helieve that the only hope for real prevention will come via prenatal care and “penetic engineering" and although work - in these areas is progressing, it will not have any significant impact — for fifty to sixty | years, They also believe that the more traditional approaches to prevention | generally will not be seen to be effective for at least 20 years. | | . ‘, Both Dr. Schreiner and Be. Freeman spoke to the issue of the cost ‘of developing regionalized kidney disease services; and the way in which the ,enormous number's often used in this regard have been misleading and discouraging to institutions and communities. Both agreed that the $15 million inent-ionied ini the pending lepislation could make a significant difference in thé extension of services of existing kidney disease centers or Kin the establishment of some smaller number of entirely new ones. | Dr. Margulies reminded the Council that the $15 million to which the' Bill makes reference, is recommended as a maximum assignnent of Regional Medical Program grant funds to kidney disease efforts, and in no Way earmarks or limits any dollars exclusively for this purpose; nor does it. provide, or even recemmend the provision, of funds over and above the grant funds to be otherwise available. for purposes of Regional Medical Programs . Dr. Everist raised the question of the mechanics of incorporating kidney-disease programs into the 55 Repjlonal Medical Programs if, the principle of local autonomy and decision-making is to be maintained. It is his belief that unless and until Regions with appropriate existing facilities can be "seduced" into affording high regional priority to kidney disease control, it will be necessary to use the Section 910 authority, so that national direct ives may be used to develop "sensible programs in sensible places.' Accepting, the apparently’ inevitable lag time before the results of a planned program of prevention can be felt, Dr. Fellegrino asked for the advice of Dr. Schreiner and Dr. Freeman. on what immediate impact Regional Medical Programs. could reasonably have, considering the - provisions of the proposed legislation and within the amount of funds that are likely to be avallable within the next two or three years. Responding first, Dr. Schreiner recommends the strengthening of existing facilities, particularly those which have committed themselves to outreach beyond the confines of the medical center within which they exist; and further. identifying those among, this group that iend them- i peor -~9- selves to further interLinkage to provide a mttaplying rather than simply an additive effect. Dr. Freeman recommends the support of the completion and extension to full services of a small number of centers which can be developed on the basis of existing, although perhaps not entirely complete, resources; the use of RMP funds for support of planning, particularly in regard to increased effective utilization of expensive resources ; and the training of personnel, principally physicians, who can serve to train others (other physicians and paramedical personne}. The Council strongly endinsed Dr. MePhedran's point regarding the importance of thoughtful: integration of a kidney disease program into an existing Regional Medical Program; particularly in planning, sub-regionalization, continuing education, and ter protess+onat communication activities, In a subsequent diceusstdn on the second day, the Council members reflected on the recommendations of Dr. Freeman and Dr. Schréiner as well as on the goals, objectives, and the basic operational concepts which guide Regional Medical Programs at the present time. Since these proscribe against the use of funds forthe direct provision of patient services, and the total amount of funds likely to be available .will proscribe against making major contributions toward the establishment of facilities, the Counei1 agreed that the major focus of RMP involvement will be (a) the encouragement of better and more effective cooperative arrangements among carefully selected institutions and resources which together might forma "decentralized center" and (b) in the strengthening of existing institutional resources competent and willing to develop outreach, both in the demonstration of service and the training of personel. Both of| the above require national as well as regional planning. : | In sumary, the Council endorsed the general plan presented by the staff; they also agreed , however , that to develop a workable overall policy it will be necessary tc have basic data concerning the resources in, and available to, each of the 55 Regional Medical Programs. This ‘should include (a) preserit ly self-contained centers, (b) institutions which have the capability of becoming an integral part of such a center, and (c) institutions and resources which might participate in an inter— regional arrangement, Por | ‘the provision of kidney disease services. An assessment of the "Size and shape" of the kidney disease problem in each of the Regions would provide the other essential piece of basic information. Dr. Margulies agreed to provide these data based on the existing geographic pattern of the 55 Regional Medical Program. REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS | | . A, Issues Identified I 1. In the matter of RMP: I support of short— term training projects, the Council considered the history provided them by staff, and a number of f I a I | i | I | t ' : | i 7 -~10- | I. —— - SO specific projects ine luded in the applications under review at this meeting. They be: eve that under most circumstances it is not necessary or appropriate for Regional Medical Programs grant funds to be used to cover the full costs of both the presentation of short-term training projects and of stipends ; and expenses of the participants. F : The majority of projects | ‘in this category provide opportunities for up—- geading and development of new skills in special techniques or procedures and are directed to individuals presently employed in health care institutions. Under the circumstances these institutions should, and in most cases do, make regular provis ion for this kind of training for their staffs. f | The Council therefore recommended the following changes in policy guidelines regarding payrients to participants in continuing education and training projects (as, defined in the Guidelines Addendum, February 1970, page 13) nicl are supported by Resional Medical Program. grant funds. : Regional vets Program grant funds may not be used for the payment of stipends, either directly or on the "maintenance of income principle," to participants in short-term continuing education and training projects. ‘This does not include training for new careers = new types of health personnel. | ‘ Other allowable costs of participant's support may be . calculated accord iris to. _the existing, uuidelines. Regional Medical Program grant Punnds may “be requested and awarded for per diem and travel to the extent of 50% of the tdtal amount so derived. ‘The awarded funds may then be paid to the enrolled trainees as considered appropriate by the project personnel, depending on the participants' ability to provide these costs for themselves and/or the willingness of their employers to provide them. No single individual may receive per diem jor travel allowance at a rate higher than that prescribed by the present Guidelines RP funds may not be rebudgeted, from within or without the project budget, to increase the total amount awarded for per diem and travel above the ! 50% level. 2. The Council considered) the present Guidelines regarding Regional Medical Program funding of. projects of long-term post-doctoral training, at_the senior resident and! post-resident levels, particularly in the - elinical sub-specialties of importance In patient management in the diseases tarreted by ‘Regional Medical Programs. As has been pointed out by both the Review Committee and the Council, requests for support for training of this kind are appearing more and more frequently in Regional Medical Program applications; because of the increasingly critical Shoprare ot individugls trained In these fietus, but also because cf’ the drastic reduction in NIH funding which has Previously been available for this purpose. | | I | ‘ I | -~ ll - | | | i | I I i i i The Council unariimously agrees on the importance of maintaining the training programs in these fields in the major teaching centers throughout the nation. They also agree that funding through Regional Medical Programs would serve to strengthen the essential involvement of these centers of clinical excellence into the | framework of cooperative arrangements which form the_ basis of the Region'of which they are a part. It is recognised, however, that the allocation of an amount of funds large enough to make a significant impact, if provided, from ithe present MiP appropriation, would create a serious and inappropriate. imbalance in the RMP efforts to meet more their varied and comprehensive poals. The Council, therefore, requested the. RMPS staff to forward to both HSMIA and DHEW its unanimous recommendation . that arrangements be made, to provide Federal assistance to clinical departments in major teaching centers to offset the identifiable education costs (as distinct from the costs: identified with provision of patient services) of the maintenance of their clinical residency and post-residency training - proprams; that this mechanism be provided through the framework of Regional Medical Programs; and that funding, over and above the current grant funds appropriated to Regional Medical Programs, be sought for this purpose. ; P : : Accordingly, the Colneil yreconmends that until such funds are added to the annual appropriation, the Regional Medical Program Guidelines for operational grants under Section 904 of Title IX of the PHS Act be changed to exclude the payment of stipends and other participant costs ‘for long-term training at the post-doctoral level. 3. The Council is keenly aware of the potentially crippling effect on Regional Medical Programs of continous investment in projects which were initially approved for demonstration of, or trainine in, new techniques of patient care, but provide what becomes an essential service tc patients. They continue to believe, however, that it would be unwise and indeed inpossible to develop a firm policy arbitrarily including or excluding projects of this kind, and instead urge the RMPS staff to work closely with Regions, as they develop projects, to be certain that other. sources of support for maintenance of the service involved be well in hand before such a project is initiated; and also to encourage Regions to carefully investigate every possibility of capturing the fees paid for the service “involved, for reinvestment in the project. | | i i B. Special Actions NORTHEASTERN OHIO REGIONAL MEDICAL PROGRAM I t In response to a special) appeal for reconsideration of previous action on Project #7 (A Comprehensive Out-patient Stroke Rehabilitation Demonstration), the Council considered the additional information submitted and recommended that the! project be approved as requested. | | | os Ol — $48,233 | i 02 = $50,145 03 ~ $26,976 | , | | | “support of this Center. of ‘the project as amended. -j]2- | [, Lt ft | i I | i i i NORTHLANDS REGIONAL MEDICAL PROGRAM - The National Advisory Counes 1 considered a request for the initiation of interim support to the Diabetes Detection and Education Center in Minneapolis with the understanding that (a) these funds will be made available from the Region! s unexpended balances and (b) that this approval does not in any sense indicate commitment to approve the forthcoming application for RMP participation in the long-range basic t VIRGINIA REGIONAL MEDICAL PROGRAM In regard to Project #h (Stroke ina Small Rural Community) the ‘Council concurred in the staff! s| recommendation for a waiver of the restrictions imposed as a condition of the criginal approval of this project, subject to the satisfaction of RMPS that the purposes of the project are being adequately achieved.
