Health Care in Canada Survey

The Health Care in Canada (HCIC) survey is the most comprehensive annual survey of Canadian public and health care providers’ opinions on health care issues. 2007 marks the tenth anniversary of the Survey. It has been developed to provide direction for governments as they work to manage health care reform.

The intent and spirit of the survey is not to provide a report card on the current status of the health system, rather to gauge the need for change, and to provide strong direction to government on where change is needed, and the options supported by stakeholders of the system. The results from this survey can help guide decision makers, serving as a roadmap to health system reform.

Results for the survey are based on telephone interviews with nationally representative samples of 1,223 members of the Canadian public, 202 doctors, 201 nurses, 202 pharmacists and 201 health managers. The questions were developed by POLLARA Research working in consultation with the Survey partner organizations.

This survey is developed in partnership with a number of key stakeholders in the healthcare system, working together to provide their experience and perspective on the system. The goal of the partnership is to develop a resource that provides strong direction to decision makers in this time of health care review and reform.

The partners in this year’s survey include - Association of Canadian Academic Healthcare Organizations, Canadian Healthcare Association, Canadian Home Care Association, Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Nurses Association, Health Charities Coalition of Canada, Université de Montréal - Groupe de recherche en gestion thérapeutique, Merck Frosst Canada Ltd., POLLARA Research, and Rogers Media. The partnership has grown from three partners in 1998, to ten in this tenth year. The partnership now represents a broad base of stakeholders in the system, including health care providers, health organizations and institutions, university institutes, the community and homecare sectors, and the innovative pharmaceutical industry.

A number of features make this survey unique. The first is the partnership as previously mentioned. Secondly, the experiences of the public and health care providers are captured. This provides the ability to compare and contrast the reflections of these groups. Third, this is an annual survey, allowing for the tracking of trends over time, highlighting evolving appetites for change, priorities, and preferences.
