Canada’s healthcare system is very complex. Many parts link together to form somewhat of a system.
Not a true system. But a collection of resources that function to deliver healthcare services.
If any part of the system is missing or fails, then the whole system will fail. That is irreducible complexity.
It is now being recognized that Canada’s healthcare system ( collection of resources) is failing.
The question as to why it is failing relates to which part of the system is missing or has failed.
I am proposing that the decrease in primary care capacity ( 20% of Canadians do not have a primary care provider
and many more with a primary care provider can not get service) is the part that is missing or has failed.
Ergo ( therefore), to get the system back into somewhat of a state of equilibrium, new capacity in primary care has to be created.
But family doctors want to leave their practices and they are.
They are unhappy, overworked, and not supported by a team.
And with inflating costs, their real incomes have eroded.
So, a transformative process that builds primary care capacity is urgently needed.
And that is the mission of Healtheon.ca
