Members Absent: Dr. Engstrom, Beverly Harris, Barbara Kresoya, Dr. Kraft
Staff Present: David Velde, Colleen Paulus
II. Approval of the Minutes:
Mary Bang moved that the minutes of the October 23, 1979, meeting of the Edina
Advisory Health Committee be approved. Dr. Rockwell seconded the motion. All
voted aye; the minutes were approved.
III. Announcements and Reports
A. Presentation of 1980 Officers.
The Nominating Committee reported that they nominated Leroy Werges as Chairman,
Duane Engstrom as Vice-Chairman.
June Schmidt moved that the nominations be closed and that the Board elect
the slate as nominated. All voted aye; Leroy Werges was appointed chairman and
Duane Engstrom as vice-chairman.
B. Early and Periodic Screening; Dr. Walter Wilder and Dr. Richard Simmons
Dr. Walter Wilder, a practicing pediatrician in Edina spoke on early and
periodic screening. When the screening program started he was designated by the
medical association to join the advisory committee which was made up of all the
various people that would be involved with screening. Primarily the State Health
Deaprtment and State Welfare Department but also nursing representatives, educators
and consumers were on this committee.
The screening programs include pre-school screening (which is a one time
examination of children before they enter kindergarten) it also includes EPS-DT;
f (which is early periodic screening and diagnosis and treatment, a welfare department
program which provides screening throughout childhood up to age 21) also included
is the Minnesota's State Health Department E.P.S. program (this program covers
everyone until age 21 if they wish to participate) . All three programs are really
the same basic type of program. There has been an attempt to combine them and
make them all conform to the same regulations and provide the same type of services.
Advisory Health Committee
March 25, 1980
Page. 2
The intent of the original program was to provide a program for children who
did not have any access to any other medical care. Dr. Wilder stated that this
provision has not been maintained in Minnesota.
Dr. Wilder stressed that separate screening is a waste of money and resources.
He stated that everyone needs a physicians care, therefore, there is no point to
separate screening, except in communities where there are few providers.
Dr. Wilder gave average costs associated with screening and concluded that
the cost of screening to society is double the cost of primary physician care.
Average cost of screening per child $ 70.00
Average cost of referral per child 40.00
Total cost of screening and referral 110.00
Cost of abnormality 100.00
Total Cost $210.00
I
If there is an abnormality in the developmental screening, the cost of resolving
that will amount to $100.00. Usually 40% of all children screened need referral.
Since the aim of the program is to insure children are receiving medical
care, he proposed a modified program which should not cost the state over $50,000,
which is 5% of the present budget. The program would be limited to:
1. Notification be given to the individuals involved that periodic medical
examination or health maintenance by the patients personal physician is
recommended.
2. Children should be sent to their own physician for examination.
3. Medicade dollars be limited to only the poor. .
A general discussion followed.
C. 1979 CHS Evaluation; David Velde
Dave Velde reviewed the CHS report. It is a required report that is sent to
the State Health Department of the Edina Health Department's activities. It is
composed of the statistics of the activities performed in the areas of Envionmental
Health and Emergency Medical Services over the past year.
The evaluation from Bloomington has not been received and it will be forwarded
to the members upon receipt.
A general discussion followed.

June Schmidt reported that the senior citizens had wanted a podiatrist to
come and talk with them. Dr. Keester said he would come out and talkwith the
seniors depending on the interest shown by the seniors. The note in the newsletter.
is for informational purposes and not for advertising. It notifies the seniors
as to the day and time he will visit them.
IV. New Business:

IV. New Business
A. Yvonne Hargens - BPHNS
The 1979 Report has been completed and did meet all of the requirements
of the State. For home care services in the City of Edina, $26,000 in
income was taken in for the services provided in 1979. Well over
$31,000 in services was written off (service provided, but no money
taken in). Less than 50% was collected.
The majority of people that are collected for, as far as home services
are concerned, no matter whether you're a public or private agency or
a quasi-public, are from Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans, and a few select
insurance programs that include that in their insurance benefits. That
is saying that better than 50% of the patients in 1979 that Bloomington
provided in-home skilled nursing services to were not eligible for
Medicare, or had run out of Medicare.
"�
r
Advisory Health Committee
April 22, 1980
Page 2
More home care providers are starting up. Free-standing, non-profit
agencies can get Medicare-certified by doing the appropriate paperwork.
Anyone who comes into business new gets a 3-year exemption, so they
can charge any amount that they can justify as their costs.
Income is decreasing, and the amount of free services, because
Bloomington is the public agency, is increasing. It has most dramat-
ically increased in Edina in '77-'78 because Edina has an older popula-
tion. This is related to the existence of the proprietary agencies
that are taking only Medicare patients. It is creating problems all
over the United States.
1979 Financial Reimbursement - Cost in 1979 to put a nurse in the
home"was $31.76, physical therapy $25.90, occupational therapy $21.91,
and a home health aid visit $23.68. A nursing visit averaged 71 minutes;
a home health aid visit averaged 90 minutes.
The council did approve the proposal to charge $32.00 for a nursing
visit (beginning May 1st) ; $24.00 for a home health aid visit. The
maximum that you are allowed to charge in Hennepin County, if you're
an old, established agency as Bloomington is, is $43.33. The maximum
that you are allowed to charge for a physical therapy visit is $42.45,
speech $46.60, occupational therapy $48.69, and home health aid visit
$34.21.
Bloomington is still considerably below the maximum limits. All
information is going to Mark Bernhardson and the City Manager so that
they can apprise the City Council.
In process of punting all policies and procedures into some kind of
order in a big book.
B. Nursing Service Delivery; Roy Werges
The Advisory Board should look to various things that are occurring
in Edina (services, etc.) and from time to time do an evaluation.
A study of the cost effectiveness of the program should be done every
year. An attempt should be made to figure out the cost of starting
up a program without the aid of Bloomington Health Services.
V. Unfinished Business
Letter from Judy Vierling with the Minnesota Health Department. . David
Velde wrote a letter to Judy Fritz about Coordinated Home Care and: they
did go out and go through the records. They also found that Judy Maloney,
who is a Social Worker at Fairview-Southdale, who has been making refer-
rals, is on the advisory board of the Coordinated Home Care Agency. From
what they had seen, they could not find any improper activities, but there
is some semblance of a conflict of interest. Our concern is the conflict
�. of interest. Linda Bjerke requested that this Board send a letter to the
Fairview-Southdale Administrator indicating our concern about the situation.
David Velde suggested that the Health Advisory Committee recommend the Board
of Health and City Council forward a letter to Kirby Erickson expressing
our concern over this situation.

This inquiry must go through the Council. The issue is Judy Maloney
being a Social Worker at Fairview-Southdale Hospital and being on the
Advisory Board for Coordinated Home Care and the hospital's policy
about what kind of an agency they make their referrals to. June
Schmidt suggested that a letter be written up in what the Advisory
Board is interested in saying so that the issue is properly stated as
to how referrals are made.
Mary Bang moved that the Advisory Board recommend that the Council
send an inquiry. June Schmidt seconded the motion. Motion carried.
VI. Next Meeting Date
The next meeting date will be May 27, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. in the Edina

A. Nomination for Appointment to Metropolitan Health Board Home Health
Task Force; Leroy Werges.
The Metropolitan Health Board Home Health Task Force is looking for a
nomination for an appointment to the Task Force. The Advisory Health
Committee had no names to recommend.

Force only as information for the Committee. Mary Bang seconded the
motion. All voted aye; the motion carried.
Dr. Engstrom arrived late and mentioned that a friend of his; Ann Moser,
who is a public health nurse who is not currently employed, indicated
that she would be very much interested in serving on the Task Force, but
no firm committment has yet been made. She also indicated an interest
in serving on the Advisory Health Committee when a slot opens up.

A. Dayton Hudson grant eligibility; Leroy Werges_.
The foundation is interested in several general areas, not the least of
which is social action programs - 40% of the budget. 40% goes to the
arts, and 20% to miscellaneous - critical community needs. Grants are
rarely made to national programs, health organizations, educational
institutions, or advocacy or research groups.

II. Approval of Minutes - May 27, 1980
Dr. Rockwell moved that the minutes of the May 27, 1980 meeting of
the Edina Advisory Health Committee be approved. Beverly Harris
seconded the motion. All voted aye; the minutes were approved.
III. Announcements and Reports
A. Gerontology Workshop; Homer Kinney.
Workshop will be held on Thursday, October 23, 1980, from 12:30 P.M.
to 4:30 P.M. at the Southdale Hennepin County Library.
Different speakers will speak on various topics, such as youth drug
use, physical changes. Bloomington will pay the speaker fees, Richfield
will pay for transportation charges, and Edina will provide the refresh-
ments. The space for the meeting is being donated by the Southdale
Library.
Barbara Harris motioned that the Committee sponsor the workshop in
conjunction with the Bloomington and Richfield Advisory Committees.
Dr. Rockwell seconded the motion. All voted aye; the motion carried.
B. CHS Formula Adjustment; Leroy Werges, Yvonne Hargens.
The State Health Advisory Committee determines the availability of funds
by using the average income of the community. Real estate valuations
are also used in conjunction with that. With the formula the way it is,
nobody would be getting less money than they were already getting.
The original formula in 1975 only had two factors: taxable income
and land values, giving each a 50% ranking. The formula has a
variable, from a low of $2.40 up to a high of $3.70 (approximate range) .
All counties are ranked on this formula, which then determines whether
the low or the high figure per capita is received.
A third factor, expenditures, was put in as an incentive factor. The
formula for the last four years has been that all counties are ranked
on per capita income.
''1
'\
'�
Advisory Health Committee
September 24, 1980
Page 2
Hennepin County has the highest per capita income of the 87 counties,
which is the worst ranking. Hennepin County has the highest per
capita expenditures for the six areas of community health services,
which is the best ranking. Hennepin County is #37 of the 87 counties
for land value.
The only factor to determine need is the per capita income. The ranking
factors within the formula are the things that determine how each county
falls on the scale.
The State Health Advisory Committee will be meeting on October 24, 1980.
Governor Quie needs any recommendations from the local boards by then.
The resolutions that were offered are:
1. Totally eliminate the land value factor as a recommendation.
2. Modify or reduce the land value factor.
Dr. Rockwell made a motion that if anyone made any recommendation for
any changes that we are now considered opposed to the present formula
unless added factors are obtained that will improve the relative status
of each county. Homer Kinney seconded the motion. All voted aye; the
motion carried.
IV. New Business
A. Future Meeting Dates; Leroy Werges.
A change in the Minnesota Statutes states that Advisory Committees
shall meet at least three (3) times per year, as opposed to the previous
six (6) times per year. Since the Committee has already accomplished
the three meetings for 1980, no more meetings are required until 1981.
If needed after the October. 24th meeting of the State Advisory Board of
Health, an Edina Advisory Health meeting may be held if anything of real
serious consequence comes up.
B. State Health Advisory Committee Alternate Member; Dave Velde.
Changes in the State Health Advisory Committee now permit us to have
not only one member, but an alternate member. With an alternate member,
there would be more flexibility in trying to attend the meetings. The
Committee meets four (4) times per year, as per the State requirement. i
No names were submitted at the meeting. Mr. Werges will discuss this
with Dave Velde and the City Council would have to approve any suggestions.
i
V. Next Meeting Date
I
The next meeting will not be until January 1981, unless there is some i
material that turns out from the October 24th meeting that should be
I
reviewed.
A nominating committee must be appointed to consider the officers of the
Advisory Health Committee for the coming year. Dr. Simmons, Dr. Rockwell

II. Approval of Minutes September 24, 1980
Under III A, third paragraph, "Barbara Harris" should be changed to
"Beverly Harris.'
Under III B, last paragraph, Dr. Rockwell's motion should be changed
to read: "If anyone made any recommendation for any changes that we
are now considered opposed to the present formula unless AFDC and other
factors are added that would improve the formula."
III. Announcements and Reports
A. CHS Formula; Mark McGarraugh.
At the State meeting, formal action was not taken on the formula. A
change in the formula will create a change in the flow of funds to
Hennepin County. It was decided that a constructive change should be
made, one which would be good for all counties in the State. Funds
should flow to the areas of need.
The formula is based on equal expenditure per capita and taxable land
values per capita (assessed valuation) . The counties would not be
getting less money than they are getting now. If a county's relative
rank drops just a couple of places, the amount of money that is freed
up by that would mean more money to spread out with other counties.
The first concern, from the county department's perspective, is that
the formula is too complicated. Each health department does not know
how much money they will be getting because the relative ranking, or
assessed valuation per capita, can change. •
The second concern is that the formula was complex enough and the
information was esoteric enough that someone could, if they wanted to,
manipulate theiinformation. It wasn't straightforward and obvious.
It had to be done with ranks and mathematical formulas and it required
a lot of work to insure that you were getting what you ought to have.
Y
Advisory Health Committee
December 10, 1980
Page 2
The final concern was that these formula factors bear little resemblance
to real need.
The department is asking for $2.2 million more overall for the next
biennium for new money for counties. This works out to $600,000 per
year for 1981 and 1982 for the whole State. For Edina, that may be
$2,000 or $3,000.
If new monies are to be expected, the counties must come in unified with
unanimous voices for changes to be made in the formula. Money is needed
to make these changes. It was found that those counties that have
relatively high farm value would do very well by changing the formula
and vice versa.
The departments' position right now is that they feel that the formula
should go from a current minimum of $1.94 to a new minimum of $2.70 and
should go from a current maximum of $3. 14 to a new maximum of $3.75; that
assessed valuation should be reviewed, but that no county should be
allowed to move more than 250, per capita per year in terms of their
overall change; and that the 50,000 population bonus should be shifted
from 25G to 40(,,.
The department has asked for $8.7 million for the new program increase.
$3 million is categorical money for home health. $3 million, which is
referred to as full-funding, is the money the department says it needs
to assure that previous budgetary shortfalls won't happen again. Only
$2.2 million of that is guaranteed cash for the counties. This is not
an increase for 1981, it is an increase for the biennium.
Mary Forsythe stated that the bill is presently on the Governor's desk,
but it has not been approved. It is her understanding that the bill
increases the per-capita to those counties of over 50,000 to 40(". It
affects Hennepin County this way - in 1981 there will be $3.11 per capita,
which amounts to the full figure for Hennepin County of $2,989,814. If
the new formula is installed, Hennepin gets the maximum, which is $3.36
in 1982. The total dollars for Hennepin County under the bill will be
$3,021,984 in 1982 and $3,048,966 in 1983. It is not sure at this point
if the bill will be put into the Governor's budget simply because the
22% increase that this would involve.
There is no effort in this bill to protect the population changes and
if the bill does not pass, Hennepin County will lose more money than
they will if it does pass.
If the formula is not changed at all, we are looking at real cuts. The
department's proposal, going from $2,989,814 to $3,021,984, is approxi-
mately a 12% increase from one year to the next, whereas Statewide that
annual increase would be 4.9% and about a .8% increase for the following
year. On the other hand, we have had a population loss.
r"1
"\
"�
Advisory Health Committee
December 10, 1980
Page 3
The least densely populated counties in the State, the ones who need
the money the most, are the ones who in the long run are going to get
hurt the worst by the change, such as Itasca, Aitkin, Koochiching.
They're the ones that are going to end up at the bottom of the range
come 1986 because their taxable value, their land value, is worthless.
These three counties do have a 3-county Board of Health and they get
some bonuses. Each time you have a county, two or joint powers, you
get $5,000 per county bonus and when you get over the aggregate
population figure of 50,000 - which is what the State wants to aim at -
you get another 25C per capita; next year you get 400.
Commissioner Kremmer stated that they will follow this very closely from
the County point of view. The two chairmen of the inter-Governmental
committee are Randy Johnson and Jeff Spartz and when a bill comes up
and has got some offers and is under discussion in the legislature,
they will see where it is, when the hearings are being held and so on,
and they will have people there to testify for or against it, depending
on what the Board's position is. If the City of Edina had some comments,
or passed a resolution and sent it to the Board, all those things would
enter into their deliberations and they would tell staff to lobby for
or against it. Jeff and Randy will go one-to-one to the legislators
and they will try and lobby for the Board's position, and they will also,
in some cases, have group meetings with the Hennepin County delegations
and lobby for the Board's position, and at some of those meetings the
whole Board may participate.
Mr. Rosland would advise the Advisory Board, before doing anything, to
find out the true figures. The City of Edina usually loses anything
but per capita.
Homer Kinney moved that we take no definitive action at this point.
The motion was seconded by Mary Bang. All voted aye; the motion carried.
