Funding system incentives and the restructuring of health care.
The 1970s and 1980s were decades of rapid growth in health care services and expenditures in Canada. Numerous government sponsored reports laid our principles for restructured health services delivery. These principles included directions such as community orientation, continuity of care and health promotion. The principles were similar, and so were the results: throughout Canada there has been limited action on these principles.
