Health-care workers and health sector organizations say the high rate of burnout and staff shortages in hospitals across the country has become “endemic” — and they’re calling on the federal government to sit down with provinces and territories to find solutions.
Paul-Émile Cloutier [CEO of HealthCareCAN], said there are 13 different health-care systems in provinces and territories across the country and no central body collecting and analyzing data. His organization wants to see a new nationwide body that can deal with capacity issues and address the problem of vacancies caused by burnout.
