An Assessment of Ontario's Health Strategy

Author

  • Paul Barker

Abstract

In 1987, the Ontario government introduced its new health strategy, which focuses on shifting the orientation of the province's health system away from hospital and physician care and towards a greater reliance on community-based services, health promotion, and disease prevention. The hope is that the strategy will increase the quality of care and, more important, limit health care expenditures. An analysis of the health strategy suggests, however, that it will fall short of its aims, and that a more prudent approach at this time would be to concentrate less on the development of community-based services and the like and more on making changes in the area of hospital and physician care.
