Canadore College
Our first two lectures on 25 January and 1 February 2018 were engaged in the information based on contemporary issues in healthcare. Overview of Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 and Excellent Care for All Act were also focused together with the various issues currently faced by Ontario Healthcare System.
Including funding, access, legislative responsibilities, there are many issues impacting healthcare in Canada today. Focus is centered on current issues in Ontario. These mainly include the rising costs of healthcare, improving access to family healthcare and reducing wait times. Inflation, medical technology, treatment decisions by physicians and hospitals together with drug coverage all equally point to the rise in the cost. There is less than 10% of family physicians in Ontario who are currently accepting new patients, also newer graduate doctors are moving into specialities, very few go with family practices. Due to lack of more career opportunities, it is difficult to retain doctors in villages. Moreover, the long wait times (issues of getting the timely medical follow up) is another matter which has great impact on the patients as well as the system. Sequel costs exceed billion dollars when patient must wait for the services from the orthopaedic specialities, surgeons, heart bypass, MRI etc. Cumulative costs include people being off work, costs for other associated needs (PSW, Rehab care hospitalisation etc.).
Various controversies and challenges to overcome the contemporary issues in Ontario include health promotion and values; putting health promotion principles into action and individual, community or societal focus etc. Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), Mental Health Act (MHA), Excellent Care for All Act (ECFAA) and Healthcare Consent Act (HCCA) are some of the legislation and organisations in the healthcare.

ECFAA needs to make sure that all Ontario hospitals should have patient relation process which should reflect the content of their patient declaration of values.

ECFAA puts Ontario patients first, strengthening accountability to deliver higher quality patient care. Guidance has been created to help hospitals and healthcare providers with implementing various aspects of ECFAA into their organisation to ensure a strong quality improvement programs.
