Public health in Canada: a comparative study of six provinces. Abstract Text:

P A Sutcliffe,R B Deber,G Pasut,

PURPOSE: To describe the public health systems and their projected futures in six provinces in the context of two developments: 1) the emerging discourse on population health and 2) the trend toward regionalization of the health care system. METHODS: Telephone interviews with key informants and key document review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Communicable disease control and health protection are currently the "core businesses" of public health; the population health discourse has not resulted in mandated programming. The reality is a retrenchment of public health scope during a time that should be considered conducive to expansion. Only Ontario has not regionalized its health care system, although public health is already delivered regionally. Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have either evolved or are evolving toward an integrated health system. There were concerns about the potential impact on public health identity and funding of this "vertical integration". Regionalization of public health may result in units that are too small to support adequate local expertise and may jeopardize development and enforcement of province-wide programs.
