These are illustrated by concrete examples drawn from across the Canadian health sector, with a particular spotlight on health entities at three different levels of government: the Government of Canada’s Health Portfolio (federal); Alberta Health Services (provincial); and the Saskatoon Health Region (regional). The lessons learned include a number of enabling factors, as well as how to address common challenges that may arise.

Show description [+]Ten years ago, the federal, provincial, and territorial governments created an agenda for health care reform in the 2003 First Ministers’ Accord on Health Care Renewal and the 2004 10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care.This report looks back on the last decade of health care reform, identifies what worked and what didn’t, and outlines a better path to achieve a high-performing health system for Canada into the future. Attaining this vision will require a shared and clearly articulated approach, strong and sustained leadership, and a commitment by all stakeholders to support the ongoing change that is necessary - all of which have been found wanting in Canada over the last decade.
