  • “We must transform the current, traditional, highly ‘prescriptive’ approach to health care into one that places consumers at the centre of service delivery models,” said Dr. Anne Snowdon, Chair of the Centre, and lead author of the study. “This means redesigning health service environments to create consumer choice, and engaging consumers directly in the choice of providers to select health services that meet their personal health and wellness goals.”

  • The white paper draws lessons from seven comparator countries (U.K., Australia, Germany, U.S., France, Switzerland and the Netherlands), which formed the foundation for the Centre’s key recommendations for Canada’s health care system. The Centre’s recommendations include the following: Create financial incentives using insurance programs or personal health budgets that empower consumer decision making to drive competition and innovation among health system stakeholders. Make the case for innovation adoption by empirically measuring and capturing the impact of innovation on health system sustainability and patient outcomes. Transform Canada’s health system from a dominant acute care focus to a community-based system focused on chronic illness management and prevention. Create accountability systems whereby health providers, and physicians in particular, assume 24/7 responsibility for managing health and wellness in communities.
  • arm citizens with the tools and resources to manage their own health and welfare in partnership with health providers
