Abstract:
As Canada's population ages, understanding older adults' experiences with the healthcare system is essential to ensuring high-quality, equitable care. The 2024 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey of Older Adults (age 65+) offers a unique opportunity to learn from other countries. Among 10 high-income countries surveyed, older adults in Canada were the least likely to feel satisfied with the quality of care they had received over the past year. This may reflect other challenges they reported, like limited access to timely primary care, long wait times, declining care coordination and out-of-pocket costs.
