Показать описание
Watch Dr. David Urbach from the Women’s College Hospital Research Institute discuss how surgical wait times could be improved by focusing on public awareness, and improving the appropriateness, efficiency and productivity of surgical care.
"Improving access to health services in Canada" abstract:
The Commonwealth Fund 2017 report ranked Canada’s healthcare system low in access to care and last among all 11 counties
studied in terms of timeliness of care. While long wait times for certain elective surgical procedures appear to be emblematic of
Canadian Medicare, they are not inevitable. Wait times could be improved by focusing on public awareness and measurement of
wait times and improving the appropriateness, efficiency (eg, with implementation of single-entry models for surgical referrals and
greater use of ambulatory surgery), and productivity of surgical care (eg, by activity-based funding for surgical procedures and by
reducing the cost of perioperative care). Ideas on how physician leaders can build on recent accomplishments are provided.
