November 12, 2025Jean-Frederic Levesque comments on Jean-Louis Denis' timely critique of centralization endeavours in Canada

RNs in Primary Care: Your Time Is Now
Nursing Leadership presented a special issue on Optimizing Registered Nurses in Primary Care.
Editor-in-Chief, Ruth Martin-Misener introduces the issue - "This special issue of the Canadian Journal of Nursing Leadership (CJNL) has a specific focus on the role of registered nurses (RNs) in primary care.

Except in the North, where they have had a longstanding expanded clinical role in primary care for many years RNs were commonly thought of as administrative support to physicians. However, over the past decade, that is changing, particularly with the expansion of team-based primary care (Bodenheimer and Bauer 2016)."

The governance of publicly funded health systems in Canada has attracted attention for decades. Governance refers to the steering of the whole health system and goes beyond the role of healthcare boards for hospitals or regions. In this article, we analyze the potential of system-level reforms of governance that have been implemented in seven Canadian provinces since 2008.
