Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada

Building on Values: The Future of Health Care in Canada
Roy Romanow, head of the Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada, has recommended sweeping changes to ensure the longterm sustainability of Canada’s health care system. The proposed changes were outlined in the Commission’s Final Report, Building on Values: The Future of Health Care in Canada, which was tabled in the House of Commons November 28, 2002
The Commission’s final report comprises 47 detailed, costed recommendations that include implementation time frames. “My recommendations are premised on three overarching themes. First, that we require strong leadership and improved governance to keep Medicare a national asset. Second, that we need to make the system more responsive and efficient as well as more accountable to Canadians. And third, that we need to make strategic investments over the short-term to address priority concerns, as well as over the long-term to place the system on a more sustainable footing.” Commissioner Romanow explained. Building on Values

Report highlights include:
  • Renewing the foundations of the health care system by establishing a Canadian Health Covenant to express Canadians’ collective vision for health care and updating the Canada Health Act
  • Fostering collaboration among governments, providers and citizens through a new Health Council of Canada
  • Achieving the goal of adequate, stable and predictable funding
  • Making the system more comprehensive by integrating priority home care services
  • Improving timely access to quality care for all Canadians through special initiatives to improve waitlist management, by removing obstacles to primary care reform, and by increasing the supply of advanced diagnostic services and of health care providers across Canada
  • Encouraging a national personal electronic health record system and protecting the security and privacy of Canadians’ personal health information through amendments to the Criminal Code of Canada

About the Commission:

The Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada will make recommendations on sustaining a publicly-funded health system that balances investments in prevention and health maintenance with those directed to care and treatment. In accepting to head the commission, Roy Romanow said,
"The task before us is to draw upon the ingenuity of all Canadians to ensure . . . that our health system meets the challenges of the 21st century."

Interim Report: Shape the Future on Health Care
The Commission conducted the work of its inquiry in two stages, the first focusing on fact-finding and synthesis, resulting in this interim report. The second stage emphasized a dialogue with the Canadian public and interested stakeholders.

The Commission’s Interim Report was intended as a framework for the forthcoming consultations.
