title: Timely and appropriate access to healthcare. The way forward--the roles of the players.
abstract: Through the leadership of a number of Canadian healthcare organizations and the Canadian Policy Research Networks, invitational conferences focused on the "wait-time problem" have been held in Ottawa over the past three years. This paper, utilizing both the views and information presented at the most recent conference and the author's own experience and views, seeks to outline directions that could help us achieve timely and appropriate access to care in Canada.
