Adam Topp and Raisa Deber Present to Health Canada
HPME PhD student, Adam Topp, and supervisor Dr. Raisa Deber presented "A Survey of Regulatory Frameworks Governing Private Sector Delivery of Health Care in Canada" to Health Canada officials in February 2005. In their talk, they defined public and private healthcare across the dimensions of delivery, financing and allocation. It is often overlooked in public / private debates that Canada already has private delivery of care. Topp and Deber distinguished between three types of private care: not-for-profit, for-profit small business, and for-profit investor-owned corporation. Regulation can have many different goals such as cost efficiency, provision of priority services, accessibility and quality control. Topp and Deber analyzed the impact of regulatory incentive structures on different types of private care, identifying problems with existing regulatory frameworks across Canada.
