title: A healthcare revolution: Quebec's new model of healthcare.
abstract: Over the past two years as CEO of the Montreal Health Authority I have participated in the preparation and now the implementation of what I consider the first real reform in healthcare since the beginning of Medicare in 1970. In my opinion Quebec is undergoing a second "quiet revolution" in healthcare as important as the first one, a revolution not in structure but in the philosophy of how healthcare is provided to its population.
