Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Canada's system of universal access to healthcare, although ethical in intent, is complex, non-transparent and multi-faceted and lacks efficiency in design. The inability to fluidly seam the many "players" in the value chain from bench to bedside imparts resource wasting that compromises the universal access of Canadians to healthcare provision - a dire consequence in the face of the looming and rapid shift to an aging demographic. In this article, these players, each of whom represents an essential access point in our healthcare continuum, are introduced and briefly discussed.
