TORONTO -- Talks have stalled in the labour dispute involving 3,000 home and community health-care workers who went on strike Friday.
Spokesmen for the Community Care Access Centres and the Ontario Nurses Association the union which represents the striking workers each said their respective negotiators are ready to return to the bargaining table.
However, there were no plans to do so on Sunday.
The ONA is seeking a 1.4% wage hike over two years. The striking workers last two-year contract, which expired March 31, froze wages.
"We truthfully believe that our nurses who have taken pay freezes over the past two years and have tried to negotiate over the last year have had a recommendation from the CCAC to take more pay freezes and that isn't something we can talk about," ONA vice-president Andy Summers said Sunday.
"We're asking for 1.4%, same as every other health-care worker and registered nurse out there. We're not asking to blaze a trail. We hope the government is going to intervene shortly and instruct the CCAC to start negotiating a fair wage increase ... we are starting to make preparations for this to go on for weeks. We hope not months, but we have to start preparing for that."
Nine of the province's 14 centres -- including Central, which incorporates seven hospitals including North York General Hospital and ones in Newmarket, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and parts of Etobicoke -- are affected by the strike, however, the other five - including Toronto Central and Mississauga Halton, where employees are not represented by ONA - are not affected.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) -
An East Texas health care center recently got a new member that is having quite the effect on residents.
Briarcliff Health Care Center in Tyler rescued a dog from the SPCA to help with the memory residents. Those are elderly who have dementia or Alzheimer's. Staff members said the dog has drastically improved morale and even has some health benefits for residents.
Jimmy seems to be the most popular resident as Briarcliff. He runs down the main hallway comfortably.
We love him, Judy Jones, a resident, said.
Sabrina Greenhouse, the charge nurse, said, the residents love him. The nursing staff loves him. He's sweet and he brightens up everybody's day around here.
He's got free reign of the memory care facility and gets lots of treats. He has made plenty of friends roaming the halls.
He always knows that I feed him, Brenda McCoy, a resident, explained. If he'll let me know that he's hungry, I usually always have something left over that I can feed him.
He'll invite himself over for lunch and stay awhile, too. He's got his own spot at the nursing station desk. His bed, toys, and food, sit underneath.
He's special, you know, I know he can't take the place of their own dog, but you know, he has that little glow about him. He makes you feel good, Stephanie Walker, an LVN, said.

Is health care speed-dating the way to find the doctor of your dreams?
Florida Medical Center in Lauderdale Lakes will be hosting a free event on Valentine's Day to let prospective patients meet physicians through a rotating series of five-minute conversations. Once a bell rings, the person will move on to the next doctor.
"With the speed-dating method, people get a chance to sit down with us rather than coming into an office and being intimidated by a bunch of people in white coats," said Dr. Ali Shahriari, a thoracic and cardiac surgeon who is participating in the event. "It's like going to a party and meeting a doctor."
Shahriari said communication between doctor and patient sometimes flounders today as physician practices get busier and technology takes over face-to-face discussions. "We are losing that connection that has been part of the physician-patient relationship for centuries," he said.
Set during the hospital's annual Heart Health Fair, the one-hour speed-dating event will begin at 10:30 a.m. and feature about five specialists including cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and an OB/GYN. Anyone not interested in finding a new doctor can use their allotted time to get medical advice, said Shahriari, who's also medical director of the center's Aortic Disease Institute.
While "speed-dating" may be an offbeat approach, experts say it's one more modern way that consumers can get valuable information before picking a health care provider.
"I give them credit, it's an innovative thing to do," said Dr. John Santa, director of the Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center. "My doctor colleagues might be disturbed by [the dating event]. But, hey, five minutes of face-to-face conversation is better than nothing."
The nonprofit Consumer Reports offers ratings for heart surgeons, hospitals, health insurance and other health care products for a fee.
The key, Santa said, is for consumers to ask hard questions. Among them: Can I see the results of satisfaction surveys? Can I see my test and lab results? Does your practice have any relationship with drug or medical device companies?
Having good rapport and communication between doctor and patient is important, said Dr. Stephen Babic, president of the Palm Beach County Medical Society.

State House News Service
BOSTON -- With 75 percent of its business already coming from "value-based" alternatives to the fee-for-service payment model, Atrius Health believes it has the experience to help guide policy recommendations as part of a new national group aimed at bettering health care.
"We have always been there, back to the founding," said Emily Brower, executive director of Atrius Accountable Care Programs.
Accountable-care organizations take on the responsibility for providing health care without the a-la-carte payment method, and many in the health-policy world see them as a vehicle to encourage more efficient and better care. The Newton-based health-care provider group joined the new Health Care Transformation Task Force, which aims to improve outcomes and efficiency in the health field.
Brower told the News Service organizations seeking to provide "value-based" health must first have a "foundation" of quality services and look for gaps in their infrastructure for treating particular maladies.
"That can be hard to put that together," said Brower. She said when other providers move toward "value-based" delivery "that helps us tremendously," and she said payers have "absolutely" become more amenable to that model of payment.
Atrius was formed in 2004 and consisted of Dedham Medical Associates, Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, Southboro Medical Group and South Shore Medical Center.
Partners HealthCare, the largest provider organization in Massachusetts, announced Wednesday it would increase its "value-based" business from 50 percent to 75 percent in its primary-care operations over the next five years. Partners is also part of the task force, which set the 75 percent goal.
Brower said high-deductible health-insurance plans can mesh with the aims of accountable-care organizations as long as they do not discourage patients from seeking preventative care.

An Academy Health Blog post last week set both Lamberts and my something is wrong with this picture alarm bells ringing. The article, How coverage and technology interact, cites mainstream, widely-cited studies on what allegedly drives health care cost increases. Here are the opening paragraphs:
As I posted previously, many studies have pointed to technology as a principal driver of health care spending growth. Those studies also credit third party payment (i.e., insurance) and income for some of the blame too. More interesting, coverage, income, and technology interact; their intersection is explored in a few papers summarized below.
The 2009 paper in Health Affairs by Shelia Smith, Joseph Newhouse, and Mark Freeland is one of the sources for the chart above. (See this post for additional detail.) In it, the authors note that interrelationships among technology, income, and insurance are strong, which makes it difficult to assign specific quantitative magnitudes to each factor.
Burton Weisbrods fascinating 1991 paper, The Health Care Quadrilemma, may have been the first to deeply contemplate the insurance-technology nexus. In it, he explained how the expansion of health insurance has paid for the development of cost-increasing technologies, and how the new technologies have expanded demand for insurance. Weisbrod recognized that the key linkage is the research and development (R&D) process
This sort of thing drives me to despair. Go look at that chart. How can you begin to pretend that those categories are mutually exclusive? They arent even remotely, as even the snippet of the post Ive provided demonstrates, and youll see even more proof if you read it in its entirety. So what is the point of engaging in the pretense of quantification when the explanatory variables are not at all discrete drivers?
And what should really get you skeptical is the vague term technology. What does that mean? Is a new drug technology? Even if so, what about all the new drugs (via FDA classification as new drug applications) that are merely exercises in intellectual property rent seeking? The overwhelming majority of NDAs (Ive seen estimates of 88%) are not new drugs at all but merely minor reformulations, like an extended release version, that allow patent life to be extended and for price increases (the new version is pushed hard to doctors and always priced higher than the existing version).
But we dont even have to get that granular. It turns out that technology is the error bar, all of the not explained otherwise factors. No, I am not making that up. From the 2009 Health Affairs paper cited above:
The conclusion that technological change explains much of the growth rests on a macroeconomic approach that seeks to estimate the contribution of known factors to health spending growth and assumes that most of the unexplained residual growth is attributable to technology.
Go look back and look at the chart again. How much faith can you put in an analysis where far and away the biggest single factor, in most cases accounting for roughly 50% of the total, is what you cant otherwise explain? And worse, the researchers call it technology which makes it sound virtuous!
