2 CAMCD S Medical Cannabis Dispensary Certification Pilot Program Baseline Data Summary Background CAMCD Certification Program The Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries (CAMCD) is a not-for-profit corporation, established in 2011 to promote a regulated community-based approach to medical cannabis access, and to support medical cannabis dispensaries in the provision of high quality patient care across Canada. Accreditation is considered one of the most effective ways for health service organizations to regularly examine and improve the quality of their services, and also to assure patients and other stakeholders that these organizations are reputable and adhere to stringent protocols. CAMCD has been working with researchers from the University of British Columbia and patient advocacy organization Canadians for Safe Access as part of the Medical Cannabis Standards, Engagement, Evaluation, Dissemination (SEED) Project to develop, implement and evaluate a certification program for medical cannabis dispensaries in Canada. The overall goal of the certification program is to create a regulated community-based approach to medical cannabis distribution and to support medical cannabis dispensaries to provide the highest quality of patient care. The development of the CAMCD Certification Program has been an intensive process drawing on guidelines for best practices already developed by dispensaries 1 as well as consultations with patients, dispensary representatives and community stakeholders including policy-makers from the medical community, relevant NGOs, all levels of governments, and law enforcement. Modeled on other established accreditation programs for health care services in Canada, the certification program quantifies dispensary services in a rigorous external evaluation process. The program is based on adherence to the CAMCD Certification Standards, which represent the foundational policies and practices of dispensary operations. Seventy-four standards are organized into 7 key areas: Patient Eligibility; Patient Intake; Products and Services; Dispensing; Supply; Safety, Security and Privacy; and Effective Organization. Dispensaries participating in the CAMCD Certification Program first complete a self-assessment followed by an on-site survey. Achievement of full certification requires a dispensary to meet a minimum of 90% of the CAMCD Certification Standards during an onsite survey, including all 18 Required Organizational Practices (ROPs). Full certification is valid for 3 years. A preliminary certification, valid for 1 year, is awarded with a minimum of 50% of the standards met, including all 1 Guidelines for the Distribution of Medical Cannabis in Canada. N.

3 ROPs. More information about the CAMCD Certification Program and the CAMCD Certification Standards can be found here: Program Evaluation: Baseline Survey In June 2013, CAMCD launched a pilot certification program with the goal of assessing and improving the CAMCD Certification Program. Nine dispensaries enrolled in the pilot certification program. To assess current practices and progress toward adoption of the CAMCD Certification Standards, participants completed a baseline survey before progressing to the self-assessment and onsite survey stages of the program. Participants self-reported their level of compliance with 73 of the 74 standards (one was not queried about due to an oversight) by indicating if they Always, Sometimes or Never adhere to them. Some standards were assessed by one survey question, while others had several corresponding questions to assess different aspects of the standard. Altogether, there were 138 questions. Participants also were asked to indicate if they have documented polices and procedures related to each of 138 questions. All nine participating dispensaries answered all the survey questions. The results of the baseline survey are presented below. First we present a summary of baseline responses, including overall rates of compliance for each section, as well as for the ROPs and policies in each key area of the standards. Next, we review the levels of compliance with the standards within each key area, including responses for each related question. We also provide individual dispensary compliance rates for each key area. Finally, we provide overall rates of compliance for the individual participating dispensaries, identified by a code. For the summaries, we considered standards to be fully complied with if all corresponding questions were responded to as Always ; we considered noncompliance to a standard if all corresponding questions were responded to as Never ; compliance was considered to be partial if corresponding questions were responded to as Sometimes or had mixed responses. Results I. Summary of Baseline Responses Table 1, below, provides a summary of compliance with standards in each section across dispensaries and an overall summary of baseline compliance with all the standards. Overall compliance to standards was 77%. All sections had above 50% full compliance, however only Section 1 (Patient Eligibility) achieved over 90% full compliance. 3

The overall full compliance rate for ROPs was similar to the overall full compliance rate for all standards, at 76%. Of note, there was the requisite 100% compliance rate with the ROPs in section 1 (Patient Eligibility) only. Noncompliance was reported for some of the ROPs in Section 6 (Safety, Security and Privacy). Table 2: Overall ROP Number of Section: ROPs Noncompliance Partial Full 1.

Patient Eligibility Nine standards were assessed by 13 survey questions in Section 1, including 5 of the 18 ROPs. This section had the highest compliance rate, with 90% full compliance, 9% partial compliance and 1% noncompliance (Table 1). There was 93% full compliance rate with the ROPs in this section (Table 2) and documented policies and procedures were 62% complete across dispensaries (Table 3). Five standards, including 3 ROPs, were fully complied with by all dispensaries. There was one case of noncompliance with one standard (Table 4). Four dispensaries reported full compliance with all standards in this section, the rest were at over 50% full compliance. Only one dispensary demonstrated non-compliance to a standard in this section (Table 5). 5

Overall compliance for Section 3 was the second lowest, at 68% full compliance, 29% partial and 3% noncompliance (Table 1). There is a low level of documented policies and procedures in this section, at 55% (Table 3). Four standards were fully complied with by all nine dispensaries, and there was noncompliance with 3 standards (Table 8). None of the nine dispensaries fully complied with all of the standards in this section. One dispensary failed to achieve over 50% full compliance with standards in this section, and one was above 90%. One dispensary was responsible for all the non-compliance to standards in this section (Table 9). 8

Individual Dispensaries None of the nine dispensaries complied with all Certification Standards. While none were above 90% full compliance, all were above the 50% full compliance required for preliminary certification. Eight of the nine dispensaries reported some level of noncompliance, with two accounting for the majority of the overall noncompliance found across dispensaries (Table 18). None of the dispensaries were in full compliance with all ROPs, as required for certification. Full compliance rates ranged from 59% to 98%. The range for policies is larger, from 0%-86% (Table 19). 19

21 Discussion Dispensaries demonstrated a high level of cooperation with this baseline survey. All participating dispensaries responded to all the survey questions, and variation in responses was demonstrated within individual dispensary responses, including indicating that they never or only sometimes adhered to the practices. Variation was also seen across dispensaries. All dispensaries were above the 50% full compliance rate required for preliminary certification. While none had achieved the 90% full compliance rate necessary for full certification, partial compliance rates indicate they are on the right track, either needing to demonstrate more consistent practice or have improvements to make on some aspects of the standard. Despite overall decent compliance rates at baseline, no dispensaries would have achieved neither preliminary nor full certification since none were in compliance with all ROPs. There was a very low rate for having documented policies and procedures related to all standards, which will be required for demonstrating compliance. This will also be an area of for dispensaries to focus on prior to certification. Data from individual dispensaries show that one dispensary is responsible for all the noncompliance in some sections (e.g. Sections 1 and 3). In other sections noncompliance it is more diffuse. Some dispensaries are noncompliant with standards in only one section, while others are noncompliant with standards in several sections. Overall, dispensaries were excelling at standards related to patient eligibility (Section 1). This section represents a fundamental premise of dispensaries, ensuring dispensaries are providing services to those in medical need while supporting patient access. High compliance was also found for standards related to intake (Section 2) and dispensing (Section 4). These sections are some of the core areas of dispensary practices, with the goals of ensuring the patient intake process is transparent and contributes to high quality care, and o dispensing cannabis and cannabis products in a safe, timely and accountable manner. Dispensaries were doing a fair job with safety, security and privacy standards (Section 6). This section is focused on dispensaries maintaining adequate safety and security measures to protect the welfare of patients, personnel, and the community. Dispensaries were struggling with some of the standards related to products and services (Section 3), supply (Section 5), and effective organization (Section 7). Section 3 standards aim to ensure products and services that meet patient needs are consistently accessible. Within this section, dispensaries excelled at the core practices, however were less consistent with related value-added practices such as supporting patients to track efficacy and side effects, and providing and logging ancillary services such as advocacy and referrals to heath and social services. Additionally, not all dispensaries had licenses to sell other products which they provided (i.e. paraphernalia). The goal of Section 5 is to ensure a high quality and accountable supply of medical cannabis is consistently available. Some challenges were presented by standards requiring oversight and a level of control over producers and production methods. Finally, Section 7 is focused on effective, efficient and ethical governance and leadership, and positive outcomes for patients, personnel and the community. Dispensaries are excelling at some of the standards in this section, such as good accounting practices and record 21
22 keeping, but are lacking in regards to higher level management practices, such as preparing budgets, insurance, risk and performance management, as well as community contributions and relations. While some areas of difficulties encountered apply to any type of business (e.g. those in Section 7 related to effective organization), others are unique to dispensaries. These may be indicative of the current regulatory framework for medical cannabis distribution in Canada, which does not include dispensaries. For example, dispensaries may be presented with obstacles to obtaining business licenses, which precludes them from obtaining licenses for selling paraphernalia to support patients to safely utilize their medicine. In addition, concerns regarding the privacy and security of producers may be inhibiting some dispensaries from obtaining contracts and performing oversight. It may be worthwhile for CAMCD to review the distribution of standards and number of questions in each section, and that they reflect priorities, since the more questions there are, the more opportunities there are for noncompliance. For example, section 1 (eligibility) had 9 standards assessed by 13 questions, whereas section 7 (effective organization) has 13 standards assessed by 36 questions. This baseline data will provide useful information for CAMCD in developing their certification program. It will also enable them to see where dispensaries need support and to determine what kind of support they need. 22
