Carson, A. Scott, (editor.). Nossal, Kim Richard, (editor.). Queen's University (Kingston, Ont.), (host institution.). Queen's University (Kingston, Ont.). School of Policy Studies, (issuing body.). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary: "This collection features original chapters from academics and healthcare leaders that address a range of policy issues: the meaning of healthcare innovation; how a national healthcare agency and investment fund could be governed; the nature of implications of big data and evidence; how to add value through Canadian supply-chain management; how to overcome regulatory barriers to innovation; policy innovation for indigenous, military and elderly populations; the role of the medical professions in promoting innovation, education and the development of healthcare innovators. While the Canadian healthcare system is so fragmented that many analysts argue that a system-wide strategy for healthcare innovation is a distant ideal, this book presents a contrary view by showing that Canadians do indeed have the building blocks for innovation."--
