1. Describe Alberta's funding formula for acute care facilities/health authorities. This means "how is your province funded"? I am not looking for a specific mathematical formula.
2. Does the funding formula rely on CMG or CACS grouping methodologies (case costing)? How the grouping methodology/case costing impacts the healthcare funding mechanisms in Alberta.
3. Compare the use of case costing/patient focused funding versus block funding (what are they, similarities/differences, reasoning, etc).
4. From question 3, which do you prefer, and why?
