Is Public Health Ready to Participate in the Transformation of the Healthcare System?

John Millar, Ted Bruce, Siu Mee Cheng, Richard Masse and David McKeown

Abstract

The healthcare system in Canada is undergoing significant transformation in response to three major interrelated pressures: the overall burden of illness is rising, patients are getting poor quality of care and healthcare costs are inexorably rising. One idea to guide this change is to transform the primary care system into a community-based primary healthcare (CBPH) system. This paper discusses, in particular, the readiness of public health to participate in the transformation to a CBPH system.
