Collaborations in Care: Working Together to Give Canadians the Healthcare They Need and Deserve.

Abstract

As the Canadian healthcare system struggles to keep pace with the demand, it is becoming increasingly urgent to find more solutions to ensure that Canadians receive the care they deserve and expect. The author shares perspectives on the value of privately delivered solutions in our publicly funded healthcare system. He draws on the notion of bringing together a mix of knowledge, expertise and talent to help reduce barriers and improve access to care. In addition to virtual care, he examines examples of mobile integrated health programs and partnerships that are working to deliver care to communities.
