Adopting an integrated approach to chronic disease prevention and management: recommendations, issues and implications is the appraisal report on the performance of the health and social services system for 2010.
The appraisal report consists of four volumes. This final volume concludes the performance appraisal exercise. It presents the Commissioner’s recommendations, which emerged from his appraisal process, and analyzes some of their implications.
First, the commissioner’s comprehensive and integrated analysis of monitoring indicators and surveys and his status report on the topic brought out the nature and magnitude of the problems affecting care and services. Second, the consultation process identified actions considered necessary to improve the system’s performance. These various sources of information were analyzed in consideration of a vast body of Québec and international scientific evaluation studies to document the potential effectiveness and benefits of these actions. The stakeholders consulted, including decision makers, provided insight into their appropriateness and feasibility.
Lastly, the consultation forum’s deliberations on the issues and implications associated with these actions were taken into account.
