The Patient First Paradox: Why Saskatchewan’s 2026 Health Plan Is a Total Let Down

from Shift: Conversations on Innovation and Improvement in Canadian Health Care · host Kyla Avis

In this episode, Kyla offers a critique of Saskatchewan's newly released "Patient's First Healthcare Plan" and questions why health care systems insist on repeating the same failed approached decade after decade.  Drawing on comparisons to Denmark and Nova Scotia, she challenges the incremental approach to health care reform and calls for genuine system transformation.  Kyla challenges listeners to demand more from health care leaders - not just incremental improvements but bold system redesigns that measures outcomes, prioritizes prevention and ensures everyone has access to a Medical Home.For Patient's Sake (2009)Patient's First Health Care Plan (2026)
