Abstract:
:The recent reform of the health care system in Quebec can be viewed as the result of a continuous process that originated with the first reform launched in the early 70s. The reform focuses on three elements: decentralization, citizen participation, and outcome-centered management. The context in which the reform is being launched contains both favorable conditions and obstacles to its successful implementation.
