Health Care in Canada Report (HCIC 2008)



Health Care in Canada 2008 (HCIC 2008) is the ninth in a series of annual reports on Canada's health care system by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI.)

The Health Care in Canada (HCIC 2008) Report provides a review of key analytic work undertaken at CIHI that highlights CIHI's health care research priorities (access, quality of care, health human resources, funding/costs, etc.). Also included in this report is a review of seminal national and international health care research as it maps onto these health care priorities. HCIC 2008 is a tool for health care researchers, persons involved in strategic decision-making in health care, the media and Canadians in general to identify current priorities in health care.
