Through Canadian and international perspectives, Bending the Cost
Curve in Health Care explores the management of growing health
costs in an extraordinarily complex arena. The book moves beyond
previous debates, agreeing that while efficiencies and better value
for money may yet be found, more fundamental reforms to the
management and delivery of health services are essential
prerequisites to bending the cost curve in the long run. While
there is considerable controversy over direction and details of
change, there also remains the challenge of getting agreement on
the values or principles that would guide the reshaping of the
policies, the structures, and the regulatory environment of health
care in Canada. Leading experts from around the world representing
a range of disciplines and professional backgrounds come together
to organize and define the problems faced by policy-makers. Case
studies from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, the
Nordic countries, and industrialized Asian countries such as Taiwan
offer useful reform experiences for provincial governments in
Canada. Finally, common Canadian cost factors, such as
pharmaceuticals and technology, and paying the health workforce,
are explored. This book is the first volume in The Johnson-Shoyama
Series on Public Policy, published by the University of Toronto
Press in association with the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of
Public Policy, an interdisciplinary centre for research, teaching,
and executive training with campuses at the Universities of Regina
and Saskatchewan.
