Dear John,
You may remember a study we released about six weeks ago showing that Canada remains one of only a handful of countries that funds hospitals primarily with lump sum payments, regardless of how many patients they treat.
Virtually every other developed country with universal healthcare has moved to funding hospitals based on services provided to patients – also known as activity-based funding.
A new study out today confirms that moving to activity-based funding in Canada could improve the quantity and quality of health care services while reducing wait times for Canadians.
Check out the full study here, and be sure to share it on social media!
Stay safe,
Niels Veldhuis
President
