Focusing on Canada\u0026amp;#x2019;s health care system, Raisa B.

This book provides background information to clarify such concepts as: determinants of health; how health systems are organized and financed (including international comparisons); health economics; health ethics; and roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, including government, providers, and patients. It then addresses some key issues, including equity, efficiency, access and wait times, quality improvement and patient safety, and coverage and payment models. Using analysis rather than advocacy, Deber provides a toolkit to help understand health care and health policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eIntroduction: Health Care in Canada: What Works?
