Description

This report presents findings from the Taking the Pulse initiative, including recommendations for improving patient-client responsiveness, experience and outcomes; the experiences of health providers; as well as ensuring fiscal sustainability. The report noted that Yukon’s health and social services system is one that works in silos and focuses on what works for government and providers. It calls for major system-level changes to facilitate the delivery of services in a person-centred, holistic, preventive, safe, and respectful way. This would involve creating an arms-length agency (Wellness Yukon) which would take over the provision of most health and social services, with a focus on creating a holistic system that focuses on social determinants of health, preventative health, and community involvement.
