Many Canadians want to connect virtually with their doctor in an Amazon-like experience, but the country's health-care system first needs to modernize, according to a new report.
The Canadian Medical Association released a report Thursday — titled The Future of Connected Health Care — with a focus on how people feel about health-care technology, such as virtual visits and robot-assisted surgery. It was based on an online poll conducted by Ipsos of 2,005 Canadian respondents aged 18 and older between June 26 and July 2. According to CMA president Dr. Gigi Osler, the health-care system still relies on pagers and fax machines and needs an upgrade to reflect how much of our lives connect through technology; she pointed to the widespread use of smartphones apps for banking, social media and online shopping.
"It is time for the health-care system to modernize," Osler said. But despite overall optimism, respondents also expressed some concerns.

How sustainable is healthcare spending in Canada?
The debate over whether Canada's healthcare system is sustainable grows louder. Unfortunately, this debate has become entangled with opposing ideological positions on how our healthcare should be paid for and delivered. The right argues that healthcare costs are progressively being pushed to levels that cannot be sustained, and uses this as a premise for proposing reforms that involve more privatized delivery of services and options for people to pay for their own care. The left argues that we can pay for the health system we want. They say we need to be careful, lest sustainability concerns undo our long-standing commitment to an equitable healthcare system, one where personal means do not determine access to services.

But sometimes, in politics as in sports, Cinderella stories do happen. As David Naylor, chair of the advisory panel on federal support for scientific research, which tabled its report in 2017, has put it, Canada’s system “isn’t in crisis so much as in stasis.”
