Abstract
Is regionalization better because it's cheaper? Or because it provides better outcomes? Or simply because it's different from whatever went before? Those were some of the questions asked during a recent conference cosponsored by the CMA and Queen's University. With each successive speaker, says Charlotte Gray, the message became clearer: there are more muddled theories behind the trend and more pitfalls ahead than planners ever expected when they embarked on the exercise to decentralize health care in Canada and elsewhere.
