Beyond doctor shortages: Rethinking Canada’s healthcare bottleneck

Read time:

Opher Baron

Canada’s healthcare system is in crisis — doctor and nursing shortages, aging equipment and record wait times are pushing it to the brink. But these problems have been decades in the making, and simply adding more staff or machines won’t fix them. What we need is a more purposeful approach.

Professor Opher Baron joined the Executive Summary podcast to explore how we got into this mess, why we need to start rethinking the types of data hospitals collect, and how AI might help ease the pressure on a taxed system.
