OTTAWA, June 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The National Health Leadership Conference (NHLC) will release new and unprecedented survey research of health care leaders and the Canadian public on four important issues confronting the healthcare system on Monday, June 12, 2017. The survey was conducted by Ipsos and commissioned by HealthCareCAN and the Canadian College of Health Leaders, co-hosts of NHLC.
These health leaders were surveyed on a range of critical issues within the four areas, including the extent to which discrimination is present in the provision of care for indigenous people, the adequacy of government strategies in response to the opioid crisis, their ability to respond to cyberthreats like ransomware, and the degree to which they use patient input in weighing whether they’re providing quality care.
Results reveal surprising insights on how health leaders and Canadians rate and perceive these important aspects of the healthcare system.
