In the new era the Alberta premier is ushering in, Alberta’s monolithic superagency is broken into separate organizations by function.

Seems dumb. Care is provided through collaboration of those entities and is generally local. This sounds like it will function fine for the areas of the province without access issues, but throw those with access issues under the bus.

I think a lot of private health care-related companies often revolve around a single function (or just a few). I mean, they can't really do the whole thing because it's public.

Pretty sure this is just making it easier to eventually carve out. Like removing the wish bone from your Thanksgiving turkey before roasting it.

You see this all the time after a buyout.

Reorg to silo-ize, then outsource/sell/shutter by silo

In the states, it's actually usually integrated except for nursing homes(continuing care in this model) and to a lesser extent behavioral and addiction (though that's often integrated with acute care). In many places a single metro organization (like hopkins, frederick health, and meritus in maryland) will have all the other legs.

Being spread out just makes it harder to administer when private because you don't have the whole pipeline to control.
