If Canada had a National Healthcare Strategy...
What form could it take?
Canada does not have a national or pan-Canadian healthcare strategy. Instead, we have thirteen provincial and territorial strategies loosely knit together by the Canada Health Act. Skeptics think the political impediments to an overall strategy are insurmountable. Cynics think ideologically we shouldn’t touch the issue. In this webinar, Professor Scott Carson, Director of The Monieson Centre for Business Research in Healthcare, Queen’s School of Business, explains why Canada’s multi-jurisdictional system actually holds promise for a pan-Canadian strategy and shows what alternative forms a strategy could take.
