\"Six remedies to revolutionize the health system in Quebec,\"<\/a> it suggests changes to doctors' employment and compensation models, investments in preventative and alternative forms of care, and a deprivatization of healthcare in Quebec.<\/p>\nThis last point runs counter to the \"Dub\u00e9 plan,\" which critics have said opens a back door to greater privatization of the sector.<\/p>\n
The minister \"seems very set on increasing the share of the private sector in the provision of healthcare services in Quebec,\" says IRIS researcher Guillaume Tremblay-Boily. He adds that this tendency runs counter to healthcare research, which \"clearly show[s] ... that this is a dead end.\"<\/p>\n
IRIS researchers suggest the government look beyond doctors and \"create an incentive for other professionals, such as physiotherapists or psychologists, to reintegrate into the public sector.\"<\/p>\n
If broadening access to these services doesn't sway Dub\u00e9, Tremblay-Boily says maybe the argument for home care will.<\/p>\n
\"Right now, the focus is really on creating long-term care facilities where people become permanent residents, whereas people in surveys frequently say that they would prefer aging at home.\"<\/p>\n
With an aging population, investing in services to support aging at home isn't just a health issue; it's a smart financial choice for governments too, he adds.<\/p>\n
\"There's a lot of leeway there.\"<\/p>\n
