What is Primary Care?
Every day, thousands of Canadians receive primary health care (PHC) services, usually through a nurse practitioner, a general practitioner or a family physician. PHC is an important source of chronic disease prevention and management. It may involve health professionals such as nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, dietitians, physiotherapists and social workers.
Health Spending
Canada will spend roughly $6,000 per person on health care this year. Indeed, the country’s expenses in this area are continuing to rise but at a slower pace, according to theCanadian Institute for Health Information.
Spending Declines
Canadians are expected to spend about $35 billion on medications in 2013, up 2.4% from 2012.
Over the last three years, both the public and private sectors have experienced less dramatic rates of growth in drug spending compared with the previous decade, resulting in a decline in drugs’ share of health spending. This slower pace of growth is mainly attributed to
White Coats
The number of physicians in Canada is at an all-time high and payments by government health plans have continued to rise, reaching $22 billion in 2012, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information.
Nurse Workforce
The number of regulated nurses in Canada continues to increase, growing by 7% since 2008, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
This growth outpaced that of both the Canadian labour force and the general population, resulting in 365,422 regulated nurses—or 1,048 per 100,000 people—in 2012.
