Rethinking the Federal Role in Health: Revisiting the 2015 Naylor Report on Healthcare Innovation
Abstract
Ten years ago, the Advisory Panel on Healthcare Innovation, chaired by C. David Naylor, gave its prescription to strengthen Canada's healthcare systems. Unfortunately, the report fell victim to politics and shifting government priorities. This commentary argues that key barriers to healthcare improvement in Canada – particularly siloed structures that prevent collaboration, a lack of political will to challenge the status quo and a myopic federalism paradigm – continue to bedevil Canada's health systems, and that the recommendations of the Naylor panel, particularly the proposed healthcare innovation fund and federal healthcare innovation agency, are as relevant today as they were in 2015.
