Health Council of Canada – April 2009

As Canada’s health care system deals with an aging population, collaborative health care teams are an effective way to treat the increasing number of Canadians with chronic health conditions.

 

Collaborative team care is a significant shift in the way Canadians are receiving their primary health care. Many Canadians may not know that this type of health care service is available to them, but they should – both as taxpayers and people who use health care services.
