Health Policy in Canada

Staying Alive: Critical Perspectives on Health, Illness, and Health Care

An Introduction to Health Policy

With a strong comparative and international element, this engaging book analyses the process, implementation, and outcomes of health policy in Canada. The author critically compares Canadian health policy to other systems such as the United States, Sweden, the UK, and Cuba. Case studies include the capacity of various health systems to respond to natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005. Of interest to a variety of disciplines including nursing, social work, health sciences, medical, and health policy, it is written for those who are studying or working in the health sector. This title examines how public policy - including health policy - is developed and implemented, by providing examples of current health policy issues in Canada; provides various models of the policy-development and implementation process; explores case studies of health policy issues in Canada, the US, Sweden, and the UK and policy changes developed to address these issues in order to illustrate key concepts; and, identifies key themes in health policy and direct attention to the forces that shape health policy in Canada and in other western nations.
