Part of a series on the health systems of Canada's provinces and territories, \u003ci\u003eNewfoundland and Labrador: A Health System Profile\u003c\/i\u003e provides a critical analysis of how the single-payer health care system has been implemented in the country's youngest province.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining the way the province's health services are organized, funded, and delivered, the authors focus on the challenges involved in providing effective health care in a setting characterized by a large, decentralized territory; a small population, much of which is widely distributed in a large number of rural communities and small towns; and comparatively limited fiscal capacity and health human resources. Drawing on maps, figures, and collected data, this book documents the hesitant and limited ways in which Newfoundland and Labrador has sought to deal with the challenges and difficulties that the system has experienced in responding to recent changes in demography, economics, and medical technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Bornstein,John Abbott,Victor Maddalena\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487525850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487525859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"Stephen Bornstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442285719807,"sku":"9781487525859","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bd2fb46-6dd5-4c45-86a7-e1b981eea101.jpg?v=1777196367","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/newfoundland-and-labrador-stephen-bornstein-9781487525859","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
