Reports, Guidelines, and Projects

  • A Snapshot of Medical Student Education in the United States and Canada: Reports from 128 Schools
    According to Steven L. Kanter, who wrote the forward in this collection of articles, “this collection of reports has value for both contemporary readers and future historians. First, the reports are structured to facilitate comparison between the medical student education programs described in the present collection and those described in the 2000 collection, and also to compare the current programs with one another. Second, both this collection and the one published in 2000 are comprehensive. They include reports from almost every accredited medical education program leading to the MD degree in the United States and Canada. Third, the reports offer an important picture of advances, innovations, and initiatives in these medical student education programs that can help contemporary readers understand the status of medical student education today, and that can help current and future historians gauge progress over the last decade and century. Fourth, the reports reveal important similarities and differences among medical student education programs. For example, some schools have specially-designed experiences in research (often called “scholarly concentrations”), while other schools offer students key clinical experiences in rural settings. Some schools have traditional clerkships, while others have longitudinal ones. Several schools have added buildings devoted to medical student education, and many have integrated ethics into the curriculum as a required component. Many schools are expanding their educational programs to additional campuses, and new medical schools are establishing their own innovative educational programs. This set of reports provides ready access to this information. Fifth, the reports include information on the governance and management structure of educational programs, which situates the curriculum within the context of a school and provides key insights about how decisions are made.” [Academic Medicine, Vol. 85, Iss. 9, p.S1-S648 (September 2010)]
  • Canada - Health Indicators 2008
    “This year’s report [published by The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI and Statistics Canada in May 2008] includes results for more health regions with a population greater than 50,000 (encompassing about 98% of Canada’s population) and for provinces and territories. This enhancement [from previous year] increases the number of regions included in this report from 71 up to 80. Health Indicators 2008 also provides an in-depth analysis of one indicator — hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC). This indicator includes seven chronic conditions that can potentially be effectively managed in the community but may result in hospitalization in an acute care facility. They are: angina; asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); diabetes; grand mal status and other epileptic convulsions; heart failure and pulmonary edema; and hypertension.”
  • Canada's Rural Communities: Understanding Rural Health and its Determinants
    The report focuses on the analyses of several pan-Canadian data sources in order to examine whether there are differences in health between rural and urban Canadians. The overarching objective of the report is to create a broader understanding of rural health needs and to inform and support policy and program development. This report is a collaborative effort of the Canadian Population Health Initiative (CPHI) at the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Centre for Rural and Northern Health Research (CRaNHR) at Laurentian University.
  • CHSRF Synthesis: Interprofessional Collaboration and Quality Primary Healthcare
    “…This synthesis was initiated to help the gain a better understanding of the evidence surrounding interprofessional collaboration in Canadian primary healthcare, and the potential benefits for patients and healthcare providers. It focuses on existing evaluations of interprofessional collaboration initiatives in the literature and projects funded through the Primary Health Care Transition Fund. The synthesis report incorporates: findings from initiatives or projects that involved primary healthcare provision; a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature regarding outcomes of interprofessional collaboration in primary healthcare; and a Canadian environmental scan to obtain stakeholder feedback.”

  • Distribution and Internal Migration of Canada’s Health Care Workforce
    This 2007 report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information states that, "The distribution of health care providers is constantly changing. It is influenced by many factors such as both internal and external migration. Understanding and measuring where exactly these health professionals are located and how they move within the country is critical to the proper planning and management of the health care system. This series of reports uses a combination of Statistics Canada Census of Population and Scott's Medical Database data to examine internal migration - the movement of health care workers within provinces or territories or from one province or territory to another."
  • Drug Expenditure in Canada, 1985 to 2007
    "Since 1985 drug expenditure has consumed an increasing share of Canada's health care dollar. In 2007, spending on drugs is expected to have reached $26.9 billion, representing 16.8% of total health care spending. Among major categories of health expenditure, drugs account for the second largest share, after hospitals. This report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, in the series of National Health Expenditure Database Reports, updates trends in drug spending in Canada between 1985 and 2007, primarily from retail establishments, in total, by public and private payers, and by type of drug (prescribed and non-prescribed). Provincial and territorial comparisons are included. International trends are updated based on data from the OECD."
  • Equity in the use of health services in Canada and its provinces
    "Responsibility for the administration and delivery of most public health care services is devolved to the provinces and territories in Canada. There is variation across provinces and territories in the level and sources of health care financing, resource allocation and payment mechanisms, benefits packages, supply of health services and personnel, and level of further decentralization to regional and local level. This paper quantifies the extent of provincial/territorial variation in utilization by income and determines its impact on equity. Specifically, income-related inequity in utilization of any physician, GP, specialist, hospital (inpatient) and dentist visit is measured...."
  • Exploring the 70/30 Split: How Canada's Health Care System is Financed
    Today, about 70% of total Canadian health expenditures comes from the public purse. The remainder (about 30%) comes from private sources. In this report, the authors look at trends in financing and at variations in this 70/30 split across provinces and territories.
  • Forgotten Families: Globalization and the Health of Canadians
    "This monograph presents a selection of papers from Forgotten Families: Globalization and the Health of Canadians, a conference held February 6-8 2007 at the Lister Conference Centre in the University of Alberta. This was the Inaugural Conference of the Globalization and the Health of Canadians (GHC) project, funded by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Interdisciplinary Capacity Enhancement grant1. The GHC project is a transdisciplinary study involving a diverse team of researchers from universities and civil society organizations in Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia." Chapters are in either French or English. [Transdisciplinary Studies in Population Health Series, Vol. 2(2), 2010]
  • Health Care Transformation in Canada: Change that Works, Care that Lasts
    "Medicare has enjoyed the resounding support of Canadians for nearly half a century. But new times bring new challenges to the health care system and so it has been forced from time to time to adapt and evolve. This document is predicated on the belief of the CMA [Canadian Medical Association] that new demands for adaptation must be addressed starting now, and in a manner consistent with the spirit and principles that have guided Medicare from the beginning. This report is divided into three Parts. The first lays out the underlying problem confronting the system; the second outlines a vision for Canada’s health system by modernizing the guiding principles of Medicare, and the third provides the CMA’s prescription for improving the system within and beyond the five original principles that are set out in the Canada Health Act (universality, accessibility, comprehensiveness, portability and public administration)." [The Canadian Medical Association (CMA), 2010]
  • Health in the Americas 2007: Canada
    As a health agency, the Pan American Health Organization’s core discipline is epidemiology, which enables the measurement, definition, and comparison of health problems and conditions and their distribution from the perspectives of population, geography, and time. This publication on Canada addresses the issue of health as a human right, taking into account both the individual and community contexts, and examines various critical determinants of health, including those of a biological, social, cultural, economic, and political nature. That examination reveals the existence of gaps, disparities, and inequities that persist in Canada, especially those related to access to basic services, health, nutrition, housing, and adequate living conditions as well as to the lack of opportunities for human development—all of which contribute to the greater vulnerability to diseases and health risks of some population groups. [Adapted from the preface of Health in the Americas 2007]

  • How Good is Canada's Health Care?
    This report by Esmail Nadeem and Michael Walker is published by the Fraser Institute, an independent Canadian, economic and social research and educational organisation. It compares the effectiveness of Canada's health care system in comparison to other countries that also have universal access, publicly funded, health care systems.
  • Improving the Health of Canadians: Mental Health, Delinquency and Criminal Activity
    "The pathways linking mental health, delinquency and criminal activity are interrelated. Mental health can be influenced by various individual, social, cultural, physical and socio-economic determinants. These factors can, in isolation or combination, be related to delinquency and criminal activity. Among youth, for example, research shows that various factors related to mental health within the individual, family, school/peer and community setting are linked to youth's risk of engaging in aggressive behaviour and delinquency. Research also shows that youth involved with the criminal justice system are at high risk for compromised mental health, mental illness, suicide and addictions. A similar pattern is seen among incarcerated adults. Further, in some cases, mental health issues can precede criminal activity; in others, they may develop or worsen with continued criminal involvement and for some, with incarceration. The Improving the Health of Canadians: Mental Health, Delinquency and Criminal Activity report provides an overview of the latest research, analyses and policy initiatives related to mental health, delinquency and criminal activity. It also presents data on the characteristics of and issues facing individuals with a mental illness who were or are involved with the criminal justice system."
  • Improving the Health of Canadians: Promoting Healthy Weights
    Promoting healthy weights and treating obesity is a complex issue that involves a variety of factors including genetics and personal choices as well as our social, cultural, physical and economic environments. Improving the Health of Canadians: Promoting Healthy Weights, the second individual report in the Improving the Health of Canadians 2005-2006 Report Series, looks at the features of the environments in which we live, learn, work and play that make it easier - or harder - for Canadians to make choices that promote healthy weights.
  • Population Health Policy: Issues and Options
    This report purpose is to: outline the major issues facing the development of population health policy in Canada; present policy options to a) improve overall health status, and b) reduce health disparities; and launch a public debate on the role of the federal government in the development and implementation of population health policy.
  • Primary Care Economics
    Primary care is a patient’s first and continuing contact with the health care system, with clinical providers, who are usually family doctors. In 2008, Alberta spent $975 million on primary care for its residents, which amounts to about $277 per resident. Primary care, as a substantial driver of health care costs, is routinely highlighted as an area which has the potential to greatly improve the health of the population while promoting cost containment. It also has recently been highlighted as an area in need of reorganization, both in Alberta and across Canada. Reforms are underway in many provinces. In Alberta, reforms costing hundreds of millions of dollars – almost half of what we spend – have been proposed or initiated, but whose ultimate achievement,– as in other emerging areas of healthcare,– is encountering fiscal challenges. Reforms of primary care hold promise in influencing health outcomes, especially among the chronically ill, but there is little supporting evidence about what these initiatives will cost. This paper addresses how our primary care resources are currently utilized and what they cost, what are the current funding systems established to support these resources, and what are the economic aspects of suggested reforms. Despite the widespread attention given to primary care, the primary care discussion can benefit from a clearer demarcation between the goals of primary care and the alternative means that can be used to achieve them. The paper builds upon a workshop on primary care economics held at the Institute for Health Economics in June, 2010, which brought together key leaders, experts, and policy makers in primary care.

  • Primer to Action: Social Determinants of Health
    Primer to Action: Social Determinants of Health is an electronic resource that helps us understand and influence how the social determinants of health impact chronic disease. Set in an electronic format, with hundreds of links and resources, it is a practical resource for busy health and community workers, activists, in their capacity as staff, volunteers or community members. Primer to Action provides a point of entry to understand and take action on six health determinants: Income, Employment, Housing, Food Security, Education and Inclusion. It offers concrete suggestions for change in the community, the workplace and the broader society. This new, improved and expanded second edition of the Primer (May 2008) provides: expanded content on all six determinants of health; new sections on how each determinant links to chronic disease; and updated and wide-ranging links and resources from Canada and around the world.
  • Promising Practices in Research Use
    Many healthcare organisations would like to ensure they are routinely making better use of research as they develop policies or make day-to-day decisions. Promising Practices in Research Use highlights organizations that have invested their time, energy and resources to try and improve their ability to use research. Each story in this series highlights the experience of one organisation in identifying an area to improve, developing a strategy to do so, and experiencing the benefits.
  • A Results Based Logical Model for Primary Health Care: Laying an evidenced based foundation to guide performance, measurement, monitoring and evaluation
    "This Canadian project analyzed the stated goals and objectives of primary health care outlined in federal and provincial legislation, and by primary health care stakeholder groups, to understand the expected outcomes of investments. Existing conceptual models of health, health care and primary health care were reviewed, as well as literature on linkages between the structure, process and outcomes of primary health care. Key stakeholder input on a draft logic model was sought in a multi-stage iterative feedback and revision process. Stakeholder consultations included approximately 650 individuals across British Columbia "
  • State of the Evidence Review on Urban Health and Healthy Weights
    "The relationship between urban environments and obesity has received little systematic attention. Our purpose was to review and synthesize the evidence on: a) structural and community level characteristics of urban environments that promote or inhibit the achievement of healthy weights; and b) the effectiveness of interventions to assist urban populations in achieving healthy weights. Research findings were categorized and tabulated within a framework that examines social determinants of health and multiple levels of the environment (i.e. community-level vs. structural). Four outcome areas were considered: obesity/healthy weights, food/diet/nutrition, physical activity and sedentary behaviour. The resulting analyses provide a high-level overview of the strengths of and gaps in the research on associations between urban environments and healthy weights. The report also identifies priorities for future policy-relevant research and presents the author suggestions for promising interventions that may help to reduce population obesity levels in urban places."
  • Systematic Review of Environmental Burden of Disease in Canada
    "In Canada, efforts are currently underway to assess the population burden of disease attributed to environmental risk factors using novel approaches and country-specific data. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also developed a country-specific EBD [environmental burden of disease] profile for Canada, and several published studies have estimated the EBD for specific disease categories and/or risk factors across Canada or for selected Canadian regions. Other global, regional, and national studies provide additional data that could be used to derive Canada-specific EBD estimates. Despite important data gaps and research needs, available studies provide relevant information for policymakers and health practitioners who are responsible for allocating scarce resources and designing or implementing environmental health policies to directly address specific sources of disease. This information can also be used as a teaching tool to better educate and inform the public about opportunities to reduce exposures that have been associated with particular health outcomes. The current report presents a systematic review of EBD studies that have been conducted in Canada or are potentially relevant for the Canadian context. It is important to recognize that the available EBD studies have defined environmental risk factors in different ways, with some studies focused exclusively on those factors that lead to population exposures in the environment (e.g., air pollution, water pollution), and other studies focused on these factors in addition to exposures in the personal environment (e.g., smoking, obesity) that are more related to lifestyle choices or that include occupational exposures. Although we include all of these studies in our review for sake of completeness, we attempt to limit our discussion to EBD estimates that pertain specifically to environmental risk factors that lead to population-level exposures. Not only does this approach allow for a more "apples-to-apples" comparison among different EBD studies, but it may be more useful from a public policy perspective with respect to designing effective and targeted health intervention programs." [National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health, Vancouver, Canada – 2010]
  • Teams in Action: Primary Health Care Teams for Canadians
    As Canada’s health care system deals with an aging population, collaborative health care teams are an effective way to treat the increasing number of Canadians with chronic health conditions. Collaborative team care is a significant shift in the way Canadians are receiving their primary health care. Many Canadians may not know that this type of health care service is available to them, but they should – both as taxpayers and people who use health care services.
  • Tides of Change: Addressing Inequity and Chronic Disease in Atlantic Canada
    Published by Health Canada, the purpose of this discussion paper is to explore the relationships between inequity and chronic disease in Atlantic Canada in the context of the particular social and economic patterns that may influence health in this region.
  • Towards Reducing Health Inequities: A Health System Approach to Chronic Disease Prevention: A Discussion Paper
    "The increasing prevalence of chronic health conditions among British Columbians has been identified as a key threat to the sustainability of the health care system. Evidence shows ‘at-risk’ or ‘vulnerable’ groups have a higher rate of chronic disease due to their social and economic circumstances; however, the impacts of chronic diseases can be significantly reduced through chronic disease prevention and management efforts. While in the past, many chronic disease prevention strategies have focused on interventions aimed at modifying individual lifestyle and behavioural risk factors associated with increased risk of chronic disease (such as smoking, diet, and physical activity), there is growing evidence that such approaches will have limited success. Research shows that community- and systems-level approaches that target the social, economic, and environmental root causes of poor health can be more effective at preventing chronic disease and can greatly improve the overall health of the population. Although British Columbians in general rank among the healthiest in the world, health is not evenly distributed across British Columbia’s population. There are a significant number of British Columbians who have poorer health than others in the province, including: Children and families living in poverty; People with mental health and substance use issues; Aboriginal people; Immigrants; and Refugees." [Population & Public Health, Provincial Health Services Authority, Vancouver, Canada (2011)]
  • Understanding and Improving Aboriginal Maternal and Child Health in Canada
    "Our goal was to capture on-the-ground information about what’s working from people in the field. A summary of all proceedings follows in the second part of this report, and an online compendium of promising practices is available at www.healthcouncilcanada.ca. In this commentary, we offer a window into the experiences and insights of many people who provide care to Aboriginal women and their children. What they said complemented and sometimes questioned current thinking about the best way to approach Aboriginal maternal and child health issues across Canada." [Health Council Canada, 2011]
