Health care expenditures in Canada were expected to reach $192 billion in 2010. To respond to funding pressure, some provinces are examining alternative methods for funding hospital and other health care services. This website is a central source for research and news about health care funding policies in Canada and internationally. The implications of using new funding mechanisms in health care are different for different players in the health care system, so key issues and findings are highlighted from three perspectives:
- The policy maker (such as a health authority or provincial/territorial ministry),
- The health care administrator
- The researcher
