Sure.
The money was divided between the three health regions that participated in the project: Edmonton, Calgary, and Red Deer. Each received a proportionate amount to deliver 1,200 new joint replacements. They were to be delivered in the way that the region and its physicians thought was best for the resources and infrastructure they had.
Calgary contracted out with a private facility to provide the care in a private facility, with people who were hired by that facility to provide the care. Edmonton and Red Deer seconded staff who were dedicated to this purpose and seconded operating rooms for the purpose of delivering their portion of the 1,200, which was 500 in Edmonton, 500 in Calgary and 200 in Red Deer. The funding went to the case costs through the local cooperative between the region and the physicians in that region, to provide the care across the continuum. The funding went into a case cost per patient that the region managed and gave to the collective.
