Main Results:

  • A CIDS would coordinate a continuum of care for 100,000 to 2 million people.
  • Financial incentives would encourage cost reduction among providers.
  • Quality of care and patient choice of primary care practitioners would be preserved.

Conclusions:

  • The CIDS model offers a potential solution for managing healthcare costs in Canada.
  • Physician benefits include potential income stability and autonomy.
  • Pilot projects are recommended to assess the feasibility of CIDS in the Canadian healthcare context.
