Health Information ManagementUnderstanding the Canadian Health System(s) Course
Change is a constant, especially in healthcare. As a new/aspiring manager you have made a deliberate change in your role in the healthcare environment. As your role has expanded, so too has the need for you to understand the foundations of the current healthcare system. In your management role you will benefit from a broader perspective of the healthcare system than you had before.
The attributes of the Canadian health system define the rules and factors that help you deliver services; or get in the way of delivering services or improving them. Being aware of those factors is fundamental to being able to decide what to do as a manager and how best to do it.
