OTTAWA — The Canadian Medical Association says there should be better tracking of health care spending, following health care agreements the federal government has signed with the provinces and territories.
The doctors’ group has released a new report calling for a greater commitment to tracking improvements in delivery and patient outcomes, citing the complexity of the deals.
The medical association wants to establish a national health accountability officer, who would be focused on tracking progress and reporting on the efficiency of health care spending. Provinces and territories were asked to improve data sharing and measure progress in exchange for funds. In March, Quebec became the last province to sign on.
It says it urges “all levels of governments to embrace proven solutions to ensure this historic-level funding truly transforms our health system.”
