We need to deliver more services outside hospitals in specialty clinics, whether these are publicly or privately operated. We must accelerate the rate of primary care reform. We need to create more long-term care beds to stop tying up acute care beds with people who do not need acute care services… with an increasingly aging population, we need incentives for families to provide home care for elderly relatives, easing the burden on long-care institutions… And our licensing procedure and rules around scope of practice need to become more flexible and reflect modern reality.
