abstract: Posits that Canadian home care services compete with hospitals and other community and public health agencies for scarce financial resources but as yet regional authorities are not responsible for paying physicians. Investigates all the various facets of home care services and concludes that by using joint ventures, there may be the possibility of making informed decisions for the Canadian healthcare system.
