Controlling drug expenditure in Canada: the Ontario experience / by Paul K. Gorecki. : EC22-183/1992E
What factors influence the cost of health care in Canada? Initiated as a background study for the Pharmaceutical Inquiry of Ontario, this paper raises a broad range of drug management issues, from the merits of alternative forms of user fees to the virtues of different drug-pricing systems. The report also looks at the forces that shape provincial drug programs, and discusses the behaviour and motivation of pharmacists, physicians, manufacturers of generic and brand-name drugs, and consumers. Provides insightful background on the effective management and delivery of health care services in times of fiscal restraint.
