MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE EDINA HEALTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE
HELD ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1982, AT 7:30 P.M.
IN THE EDINA CITY HALL MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mary Bang, Linda Bjerke, Dr. Duane Engstrom,
Beverly Harris, Homer Kinney, Dr. Walter Kraft,
Barbara Kresoya, Dr. Rockwell, June Schmidt,
Leroy Werges and Dr. Bruce Nydahl
MEMBERS ABSENT : Tully Stoppel
I . APPROVAL OF MINUTES : September 8, 1982
June Schmidt moved approval of the September 8, 1982 minutes.
Dr. Kraft seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried.
If. NEW BUSINESS : Public Health Nursing Service Proposal for 1983.
Beverly Harris called the members attention to the memorandum which, had
been included in their packets. . This memorandum and the copies of the
three nursing service proposals describes the various nursing service agencies
including their projected costs for 1983. Dr. Kraft stated that he thought the
Fairview Southdale proposal of offering blood pressure screening 24 hours a
day through the out-patient department was beneficial. However, Dr. Kraft
questioned whether any of the hospital physicians had been consulted for
their input or suggestions for the Adult Health Clinic. He suggested that
if the hospital were to propose services in the future, it may be of some
benefit to obtain some input from the physicians.
Linda Bjerke commented on the cost of the hospital proposal and suggested that
the costs could be reduced if the professionals other than physicians were
utilized for screening in the Adult Health Clinics. The patients could then
be referred to physicians for treatment thereby utilizing other sources of
funds available to the patient. The Public Health Nursing Services should
not be used for diagnosis and treatment.
Ms. Bjerke also commented on the high cost of Administration and Laboratory
which pushes the cost of the hospital proposal beyond reach. The Committee
began discussing the Bloomington and VNS proposals. They were concerned
whether VNS could deliver the package of nursing services for the estimated
contract cost. David Velde indicated that the VNS estimates appears very
low, but due to the billing procedures that VNS uses they may be able to
deliver the services for somewhere between the estimated cost and Bloomington's
bid. The emphasis on activities within each program may be somewhat different
than those of Bloomington, which may account for some difference in the estimated
cost also.
Beverly Harris indicated that she had some concerns about the pending merger
between VNS and Suburban Public Health Nursing Services. Sometimes, mergers
can create reorganizational problems that were not anticipated prior to the
merger. She felt that after VNS has accomplished the merger, the City of Edina
would be in a better position to entertain a proposal for the delivery of nursing I
services for Edina residents.

Edina Health Advisory Board
November 30, 1982, Meeting

The Committee generally agreed that the difference in program costs of
Community Nursing Services/Maternal and Child Health was considerable
between Bloomington and VNS. This may be due in part to different
program emphasis within the two agencies. This difference in cost should
be clarified and a determination made whether VNS is proposing minimal
services for these programs or whether Bloomington is excessive in these
programs.
Leroy Werges moved to defer considering a proposal from VNS for one year
to allow VNS time to organize their operation. He then stated that we should
thank Fairview Southdale Hospital and VNS for submitting their proposals
and ask them to submit proposals again next year. Finally, he said a communi-
cation should be forwarded to the Edina City Council by December 6, 1982
recommending they award the Public Health Nursing Service Contract to
Bloomington at the fixed cost of $95,700.
Dr. Bruce Nydahl seconded the motion, all voted aye; the motion carried.
Ill . ADJOURNMENT :
The meetine was then adjourned by Beverly Harris.
