Get ready for more cuts within the health care system.
Vancouver Coastal Health Authority CEO David Ostrow has told a board forum in North Vancouver, because of ever-increasing demands like patient volumes and an aging population, new efficiencies need to be found, "What we're doing is looking at all the care we provide from primary care to acute care, rehab care, community and residential care. We're looking at those elements of care and we're trying to find elements of efficiency in all of those areas."
Ostrow says Coastal Health may have to 'modify' how they continue to provide various services.
