Saskatchewan! Healthy people. A healthy province.

Health care is a service industry. When health providers can adopt this transformative idea, patient-centred care becomes possible.

Long-time health researcher and analyst Steven Lewis describes the basics of patient-centred care in two discussion papers written for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health. They are intended to be conversation starters for anyone involved in health care: professionals, support staff, managers, suppliers, and -- most of all -- patients.
