The first seven chapters of this book reviews the history of health care in Canada and the problems and band-aid solutions of siloed healthcare. The final ten chapters reviews the solutions.
With the knowledge as a social scientist, medical historian, educator, board-certified podiatric surgeon, healthcare leader, and certificate holder in AI in healthcare from Harvard Medical School, Dr. Yu systematically explains how and why Canada’s healthcare system has slowly eroded into one with bias and inequality.
He illustrates how much overspending on local political band-aid solutions has resulted in further wasted resources and inequality among Canadians. He examines why 6.5 million Canadians are without a family doctor and despite spending the 2nd most per capita compared to other universal health care systems in the world, Canadians have the longest wait times for emergency room visits, elective surgery, seeing a specialist, getting advanced imaging, and receiving treatment. He reviews why the current siloed provincial medical systems make fulfilling the Canada Health Act impossible.
He describes the benefits for all stakeholders in National Health Reconciliation into one centralized AI assisted system for healthcare delivery which would allow true universality ,portability of care and equal access to healthcare for all Canadians regardless of income.
He offers solutions for the opioid crisis and military spending that would help our healthcare system at home as well as a national drug and medical supply plan that would equally benefit all the health and wellbeing of Canadians, national scientific advances, and the Canadian economy.
This timely book is a must-read for all Canadian taxpayers, government officials, health policymakers, leaders, health care professionals, students, AI technology specialists, and Canadians concerned about the future of healthcare for generations to come. It is timely and transformative with the potential to have a societal impact.
