7. Provincial & Federal Responsibility
• Roles and responsibilities for health care services are shared between
provincial and territorial governments and the federal government.
• The provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the
management, organization and delivery of health care services for
their residents.
• The federal government is responsible for:
• setting and administering national standards for the health care system
through the Canada Health Act
• providing funding support for provincial and territorial health care services
• supporting the delivery for health care services to specific groups
• providing other health-related functions

8. Federal Funding for Health Care
• provides health care funding to the provinces and territories
through the Canada Health Transfer.
• Provinces and territories receive additional federal funding
support through other fiscal transfers.
• Delivering health care services to specific groups including:
• First Nations people living on reserves
• Inuit
• serving members of the Canadian Forces
• eligible veterans
• inmates in federal penitentiaries
• some groups of refugee claimants

14. Efficiency
• a relationship between what it costs and what service is received
what outcome is achieved
• efficiency measured as the effectiveness with which health
systems use their resources to reduce potential year of life loss
(PYLL) due to treatable causes of death.
• corresponds to the technical efficiency of the health system. It
refers to maximizing the level of outputs for a given level and
mix of inputs, or minimizing input use for a given level of
outputs.
• Improving health system efficiency is seen as one way to ensure
its sustainability

15. Effectiveness
• Effectiveness of services corresponds to the capacity of the services
delivered to reduce the incidence, duration, intensity and
consequences of health problems.

Editor's Notes
https://twitter.com/HealthWorksBC/
is a term that refers to Canada's publicly funded health care system. Instead of having a single national plan, we have 13 provincial and territorial health care insurance plans. Under this system, all Canadian residents have reasonable access to medically necessary hospital and physician services without paying out-of-pocket.
Roles and responsibilities for health care services are shared between provincial and territorial governments and the federal government.
The provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the management, organization and delivery of health care services for their residents.
The federal government is responsible for:
setting and administering national standards for the health care system through the Canada Health Act
providing funding support for provincial and territorial health care services
supporting the delivery for health care services to specific groups
providing other health-related functions
See the trend here and in the next slide. Other provinces are in a similar state.

“Not all areas of B.C.’s health-care system are expanding at the same rate.” From 2012-13 to 2015-16, acute- care (emergency, post-surgical, critical- care) spending went up 11%; residential care (seniors’ homes, community group homes) went up 5%; community care (in-home nursing care) went up 14%; mental-health and substance-use services went up 3%. Public health and wellness (prevention programs, screening, communicable disease control) went down 1%.
Last year in B.C., the health sector spent $19.2 billion. Of that, the Ministry of Health spent $17.4 billion, or 37% of overall provincial expenses. This is three times more than the next largest ministry (Education). Health spending per person in B.C. is $4,050 annually; the Canadian average is $4,095.

Hospitals fear cost-effectiveness means lower reimbursements. Hospital administrators often resist efforts to reduce hospital occupancy for fear that decreases in revenue will jeopardize their ability to cover large fixed costs.
For this study we used the treatable potential years of life lost (PYLL), an indicator that calculates the number of years of life that are lost prematurely (here, before age 80) to causes of death that are considered to be treatable by healthcare interventions (CIHI 2012b; Nolte and McKee 2004, 2008). The underlying idea is that if Canadians had access to timely care when they need it, no person should die before age 80 of (the small set of ) causes of death that are considered to be treatable. In practice, this means that a person who died at age 65 from a treatable cause of death would have lost 15 potential years of life. These values of the difference between the actual age of death and age 80 are then summed over the population and divided by the population count.
The choice of age 80 as the cut-off for considering a death to be premature was based on stakeholder feedback,
Efficiency reflects the extent to which health system objectives are met, given the resources invested
in the system.2 In the wake of the recent economic downturn, efforts to ensure that resources are
used so they achieve the best possible performance are especially timely, given the tight budget
constraints faced by health system managers. In this study, the health system includes all activities
under the jurisdiction of provincial and territorial ministries of health.
Measuring health system efficiency has been the focus of several high-profile international
studies. In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted a comprehensive analysis
of health system efficiency across all 191 member states.3 This analysis stimulated a flurry of
dialogue around health system performance measurement, including its methodological and
conceptual challenges.4 The WHO analysis looked at the efficiency with which the health
system achieved the aggregate of five performance objectives: average level of health status,
inequalities in health status, responsiveness, inequalities in responsiveness and fairness of
financial contribution.3 Canada ranked 30 out of the 191 countries in this study. Canada was
also part of an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) study that
compared different approaches to measuring efficiency using one common approach in the
literature, data envelopment analysis (DEA). Canada ranked 14 out of 30 OECD countries, a
ranking that suggests life expectancy could be increased by nearly two years and amenable
mortality could be reduced by about 20% if the health system was performing optimally.5
International studies provide insight into the potential gains to be realized with improvements in
efficiency. However, given the provincial and, increasingly, regional responsibilities for health
system delivery and administration in Canada, it is important to examine efficiency at the
regional level within Canada.6
There is great interest in Canada and other countries in ensuring that health system resources are
used effectively. Improving health system efficiency is seen as one way to ensure its sustainability.1
