{$324m health contract hasn’t delivered “,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url];expected benefits”: AG}
John Doyle, B.C. Auditor GeneralBy Jenny WaglerFri Mar 1, 2013 10:00am PSTThe B.C. government has not achieved all it said it could by contracting out the administration of its medical services plan (MSP) and Pharmacare to a private operator, Auditor General John Doyle found in a recent audit.In 2004, the B.C. government contracted out the running of the services to Maximus BC Health Inc. under a 10-year $324 million contract.The audit found that the contract, known as an alternative service delivery (ASD) agreement,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], “has not realized all the benefits expected when the deal was signed in 2004.”According to the AG,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url], expected benefits under the contract included:improved service levels to the public and health-care providers;transformation of legacy systems;IT currency;transference of financial risk associated with meeting service levels and transforming technology;improved privacy and security of personal information; andgain sharing and profit sharing.Doyle’s report found that although some improvements have been made in these areas,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url],[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url], “the benefits have not been fully achieved.”He noted,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], for example, that new structural and technical privacy and security safeguards have been put into place, but that two monitoring tools intended to identify privacy breaches were “not implemented as expected.”He added that the ministry hasn’t verified that the service provider is complying with “two key privacy contract terms.”“Although I did not find any evidence of unreported breaches,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url], this creates a risk that breaches are occurring without the ministry’s knowledge,” he said.The report also found that the ministry “has not been consistently holding Maximus accountable for achieving the expected results.” He further challenged the ministry’s public accountability.“While government has reported on service levels, it has not reported on any of the other expected benefits of the arrangement,” Doyle said. “And, while it has included the contract’s costs in annual reports, it has not presented this cost information alongside benefit achievement results.”jwagler@biv.com@jennywagler Tags: health,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url],[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url], John Doyle,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url], medical service, annual report, provincial government
