![Page 5: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The research project
Results from a research project: A Cross-Provincial Comparison of Health Care Policy Reform in Canada (H. Lazar, PI)
6 case studies of policy reform undertaken in 5 provinces (AB, SK, ON, QC, NFL)
One case study on regionalization of health services
![Page 6: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Research objectives
Describe the policy-making process Analyze the factors that explain why the
public policy-making process unfolded the way it did
To identify patterns in the distribution of these factors across policies within a province and across provinces
To derive policy implications for federal and provincial policy-makers

Theoretical framework
Theoretical framework rooted in John Kingdon’s public policy work (2002, 2nd edition):– Governemental agenda– Decision agenda– Policy choice
Variables:– Institutions– Interests– Ideas– External events
![Page 8: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Methodology
Data gathered through 10 semi-structured interviews with key actors and decision-makers involved in the reform process
Interviews were transcribed, coded (NVivo) and analysed
Analysis of relevant literature:– Grey and scientific literature on regionalization– Governmental publications & reports

3 key moments in the history of regionalization in Quebec

BILL 25: A new reform of regionalization
![Page 12: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bill 25: Transformation of the regional governance structures
Transformation of the Health Boards into Agencies:– Former mandates and powers remain for at least
2 years– New mandate: development of Local Services
Networks
![Page 13: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

GOVERNMENTAL AGENDA: 1980s-2002
![Page 16: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How the problem emerged?
Health reforms of the 1990s– Mergers & service integration
Clair Commission of 2000– Criticizes regional boards
Introduction of Bill 28 in 2001– Brings changes to governance (boards)
![Page 17: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
DECISION AGENDA: 2002
![Page 18: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Quebec Liberal Party electoral platform
At the end of 2002, the Liberal Party presented their electoral platform for the 2003 elections
Content of the platform:– Regional Health Boards were to be abolished – Service coordination was to be transfered to the local health
care institutions– Creation of a 2 tiers system: provincial and local levels
April 2003: Liberal Party wins the elections
![Page 19: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
POLICY CHOICE: 2003
![Page 20: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Elaboration of the project: June – October 2003
June 2003: Ministry of Health starts to work on the elaboration of a reform proposal for the Minister– Influence of Alberta’s regionalization model– Conclusion: regional level is necessary
The Ministry’s proposition was not totally in line with the content of the Liberal Party political platform– Regional authorities remain but are transformed– But → integration of services at the local level
![Page 21: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The parliamentary commission: November and December 2003
Few actors supporting the project entirely:– Medical and hospitals associations
Consensus on the objectives of the reform– Service integration– Responsibility for the health of the population
Division and opposition on the means to achieve the objectives
– Transformation of the Boards into Agencies– Institutions mergers (inclusion of hospitals)
![Page 22: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The remodeled proposition
Bill 25 was modified following the parliamentary commission
Hospitals can be excluded from the mergers because of: – The absence of such services on a territory– The complexity involved in integrating those
services particularly considering: The size of the territory served by the institution The number or the capacity of the facilities Sociocultural, ethnocultural or linguistic characteristics
of the population served.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REFORM
![Page 24: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Implementation of the reform: January – June 2004
The Ministry of Health implementation strategy:– No standardized model, no precise instructions – Agencies and the local institutions to come up with
proposals on how to configure their local services networks
– Propositions could differ from one territory to another with respect to size of networks, territorial delimitations and type of institutions merged.
Agencies had to submit their regional organizational plans by the end of April.
![Page 25: The Reform to Regionalization in Quebec: Towards a New Model of Local Governance in Health Care Elisabeth MARTIN, Ph.D candidate Marie-Pascale POMEY, M.D.,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649eb65503460f94bbf0e7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Implementation of the reform: January – June 2004
The proposals were studied by the Minister of Health between April and June
A few changes were made to the initial proposals submitted by the Agencies

were created and more than 700 new board members were appointed.
