State of Medicine

This is a post about the current state of medicine.

The federal funding and provincial delivery causing fragmentation

fragmentation of data and its ownership

tension at the level of health authoroities

safety net for medically necessary care and elective care and the blurry line that separates this. public funding vs private funding, what can get lost, who can get benefit

risk screening (insurance, GP)

preventative care lost (physio, dentistry, prescription drugs) at the cost of acute care (ERs overloaded)

Different mandates for the different provider levels. Quick wins over long term projects

Update coming
