Canada has a system of health care that is financed through taxation and public funding. As of 2024, the total per capita expenditure in Canada for health care was estimated to be about ******* Canadian dollars. This is an increase from the previous years and a significant increase from the *****, just prior to the implementation of the 1984 Canadian Health Act. The Canadian health system Canada has one of the highest health expenditures as a percentage of GDP among developed countries. The Canadian health care system is funded and administered by the provinces and territories. There are several principles that the system is founded on: public administration of the system is non-profit, plans must be comprehensive, all residents must be able to access the public health care system, health care should be accessible to anyone anywhere in Canada, and there should be few barriers to accessing healthcare. Despite the attempts at making the system equal across Canada, there are still major differences. For example, Nunavut has some of the highest per capita provincial/territorial governmental health care spending in all of Canada. Health financing in Canada Between the public and private sectors of Canada’s health system, the public sector is responsible for a majority of the health expenditures. Provincial governments are responsible for most of the health care funding, followed by direct federal funds. Drug expenditures, however, are primarily financed through private sector resources.

IntroductionHip and knee replacement surgery is one of the most commonly performed elective procedures, accounting for significant healthcare costs and resource utilization. In recent years, the proportion of hip and knee arthroplasties performed in outpatient settings has grown rapidly. Although the safety and effectiveness of outpatient vs. inpatient hip and knee arthroplasty have been documented in the literature, estimates of health system cost-savings in Canada are limited.MethodsWe employed a population-based retrospective cohort study design. We obtained data on patients aged 18–105 years who underwent hip or knee replacement surgery in both inpatient and outpatient settings in Ontario, Canada between 2018/19 and 2022/23. Patients who underwent outpatient hip and knee arthroplasty were matched to inpatient cases using a propensity score based on age, sex, comorbidity, area-level sociodemographic factors, total/partial replacement, and surgery date. We analyzed cost data that included hospitalization and ambulatory care visits, physician billing, home care, and oral medications. We utilized generalized linear models to identify the best fit regression model and estimated the average cost-savings associated with outpatient versus inpatient arthroplasty during the preoperative (30-days before surgery), perioperative (surgery + 30 days), 1–6-month postoperative, 6–12-month postoperative, 12–24-month postoperative, and 24–36-month postoperative periods. The costs were reported in 2023 Canadian dollars.ResultsA total of 35,894 hip arthroplasty patients and 49,597 knee arthroplasty patients were included in our analysis. During the perioperative period, outpatient arthroplasty was less costly than inpatient arthroplasty for hip replacement by $3,859 (95% CI -$4045, -$3745) and for knee replacement by $3,966 ($-4080, $-3851). Over 3 years of follow-up, outpatient arthroplasty was less costly than inpatient arthroplasty for hip replacement by $7058 (-$8086, -$6031) and for knee replacement by $7043 (-$7842, -$6243).ConclusionOutpatient hip and knee arthroplasty is cost-saving both during and beyond the perioperative period in comparison with similar patients who undergo inpatient arthroplasty in Ontario. Policies should be put in place to incentivize continued uptake of outpatient arthroplasty, which we estimate could save the Ontario healthcare system up to $98 million per year.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) have significantly disrupted routine healthcare services, particularly in high TB burden countries. Despite initial expectations that the private health sector would lead in addressing TB, preliminary data suggests that the sector has shrunk or collapsed in many areas. Private facilities struggled to stay open during PSBB, and providers were reluctant to treat people with respiratory symptoms. Private healthcare costs have soared, especially for hospitalizations. Through this project, we were able to measure pre-treatment costs and factors associated with those costs from the perspective of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bandung, Indonesia. It was found that the median total pre-treatment cost was $35.45 with the highest median cost experienced by participants from private hospitals. The rapid antigen and PCR for SARS-CoV-2 emerged as additional medical costs among 26% of participants recruited in private hospitals. Several factors are associated with higher pre-treatment costs including visiting more than 6 providers before diagnosis, presenting first at a private hospital and private practitioners, and being diagnosed in the private health sector. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people with TB faced significant out-of-pocket costs for diagnosis and treatment, highlighting the importance of early detection and identification in reducing pre-diagnostic TB costs.
