title: Canada's top 5 in 5.
abstract: In 2011, the Canadian Nurses Association made a decision to establish and fund a national commission focused on health system transformation, the National Expert Commission. In 2012, the commission presented an action plan, the lead recommendation of which was to ensure that Canada ranks among the top five nations on five key population health status and system performance indicators in the next five years. In this article, the authors outline the selection of the these indicators and the associated goals for improvement.
