Abstract
Objectives: Every country wants a good health care system for all citizens with minimum expenditure. By comparing health care systems in Canada and Japan, both of which have a universal health care system for all citizens in its own country, an attempt was made to visualize or search for an optimal health care system.
Method: Data and information obtained were tabulated and compared from the standpoint of the effectiveness of the health insurance system and the feasibility of its application so as to propose an optimal health care system.
Results and Conclusions: Some of the suggestions and proposals made for an optimal health care system for all citizens include implementation and/or establishment of minimal user fees, centralized rational decision-making processes, private delivery system of health care, centralized computer-aided patient record system, insurance monitoring system, patient education, and physician guidelines.
Résumé
Objectifs: Chaque pays souhaite l’établissement d’un bon système de soins de santé accessible à tous ses citoyens et ce à un coût minimum. Nous avons établi une comparaison entre les systèmes de soins du Canada et du Japon, deux pays où l’on trouve un système universel des soins de santé afin d’arriver à la visualisation d’un système de soins de santé à rendement optimal.
Méthode: Les renseignements et données obtenus ont été compilés et comparés en tenant compte de l’efficacité du système de santé, de ses possibilités d’implantation, dans le but de proposer le meilleur système de soins de santé.
Résultats et conclusions: Parmi les suggestions et propositions retenues afin de créer le meilleur service de soins de santé pour tous les citoyens, nous avons retenu l’implantation et/ou l’établissement de frais minimums pour les usagers, d’un système rationnel et centralisé de diagnostic, d’un système privé de soins, d’un système d’informatisation des dossiers des patients, d’un système de contrôle des frais d’assurance, d’un système d’éducation des patients et de directives aux médecins.
