The Quintuple Aim in Canada

The domains of the Quintuple Aim provide a framework for assessing health system performance. Progress on the Quintuple Aim in Canada has been slow. Dr Wodchis will provide insight into the application of the Quintuple Aim in Ontario, with lessons for all provinces and territories.
