The Bioaccumulation of Toxins in the Canadian Arctic
(8 Pages, 95.6 $ (USD) )
|
|
This is an 8 page paper discussing the bioaccumulation of toxins in the Canadian Arctic. Presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which include pesticides, industrial compounds, and combustion by-products are one of the major environmental and health concerns within the Canadian Arctic regions today. Measurement of POP bioconcentration or bioaccumulation levels within the Arctic have determined that the toxic contaminants primarily do not originate within the Arctic and therefore are transported there through air or water currents or migratory animals. The contaminants are considered persistent because they are able to exist for a great length of time and can tolerate many conditions. POPs are also lipophilic in which they are concentrated in the fats of animals. Because of this, bioaccumulation levels are higher in those animals which are higher on the food chain such as humans and polar bears as the contaminants get passed on through the digestion of the fat of animals with POPs in their system and makes them an extreme health hazard.

Important Periods in the Development of Canadian Society: 1840 to 1870; 1880 to 1920; 1940 to 1970
(6 Pages, 71.7 $ (USD) )
|
|
This is a 6 page paper discussing important periods in the development of Canadian society. The development of Canada as a society has taken place over several stages; perhaps the most important being the period from the 1840s through the 1860s which led to Confederation and the development of the Dominion of Canada by the British North America Act of 1867. At that time, Canada was very much under the influence of Britain as it was considered Britain’s North American colonies and was of interest to the U.S. which had plans in the late 1860s to annex the lands now known as Canada. The process of unity began in 1841 with the Act of Union which united Upper and Lower Canada and continued through until Confederation in 1867. The periods of 1880-1920 and 1940 to 1970 were important in the continued refinement of Canadian identity through national and international developments but neither era could have been as successful without the strength which was formed through the initial stages and Confederation established between the years 1840 and 1870.

The Process of Healthcare Funding in Ontario, Canada
(5 Pages, 59.75 $ (USD) )
|
|
This is a 5 page paper discussing the process of funding healthcare in Ontario, Canada. The process of the healthcare system in Ontario and the other provinces and territories of Canada is multi-level. The citizens of the province of Ontario, Canada enjoy universal healthcare which is considered a right according to the Canada Health Act. People pay for this health care through their income taxes and sometime also pay for additional services through supplementary payments in an employer health care plan. The federal government then transfers a percentage of funds to each province allocated for healthcare. The Ontario government then grants community and teaching hospitals in the province funding based on their annual budgetary reports. This varies according to the percentage received from the federal government. The responsibility for the administration of funds then lies with the individual health care facilities. Individual hospitals use the grant money received from the province and allocate those funds in their institution. Teaching and community hospitals within the same communities often share services in order to be more cost-effective. Hospitals also received some funding from community fund-raising efforts and income from rental properties. Physicians within the province are paid by fee-for-service; fees which are negotiated with and limited by the province each year. As the federal funding decreases each year, so too does the provincial funding for the individual institutions. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Factors Relating to Canadian Dental Service Utilization and Access
(10 Pages, 119.5 $ (USD) )
|
|
This is a 10 page paper discussing factors relating to dental service utilization in Canada. While Canadians enjoy a universal health care system regulated by the Canada Health Act, dental care (except for dental surgery in hospitals) is not covered by the network of territorial and provincial health insurance plans. Because of this lack of free coverage, financial barriers are often those which prevent utilization of dental services in Canada. However, financial barriers are not the only factors preventing access to dental services. Various studies have found that dental care utilization is also affected by health and illness factors especially in the growing senior population, reluctance to seek out new dental professionals, regional access, regional and cultural beliefs regarding dentistry as preventative and not necessary care, in addition to language and cultural barriers. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

The Future of Healthcare in Canada: The Influence and Role of Nurses and Their Professional Groups in the Recommendations in the Romanow Report
(21 Pages, 250.95 $ (USD) )
|
|
This is a 21 page paper discussing how nursing as a professional group may influence the changes and recommendations in the Romanow report for the future of health care in Canada. On November 28, 2002, Roy Romanow and the Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada released its final report. This report highlights recommendations in key areas in health care including Medicare; issues in primary health care; prevention and promotion; key measurement tools through the development of the Health Council of Canada; innovation and delivery through information technology; access for rural and remote communities; homecare; prescription drugs; and, Aboriginal health among many other factors and includes funding commitments for these recommendations. The nursing associations across Canada including representatives from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) and the Canadian Federation of Nurses’ Unions (CFNU) have supported the Romanow Report as a “remarkable blueprint for building Medicare’s second generation and strengthening the public’s access to nurses” as well as the reforms which “will shorten waiting time and improve care” overall. The professional nursing groups have an active interest in all aspects of the Romanow report which not only broadens the roles and responsibilities of the nurses in Canada but increases the number of programs which will be affiliated with nursing. Most important in regards to nurses’ roles in the recommendations of the report are those which relate to measurement outcomes from an administrative and informative approach; those which relate to various commitments to innovations within the industry and primary care access; homecare access; and the new legislation proposed in regards to the entire health human resources. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
