Dr. David Zitner (Halifax, Novia Scotia, Canada)
Dr. David Zitner is a physician and the director of Medical Informatics at Dalhousie University. Zitner is a recognized and critical voice for Canadian health care reform.
According to Dr. Zitner, “one of the main problems in Canada’s health care system is that ultimately everyone in the industry is responsible to the one paying the bills - the government. As such, doctors, clinics and administrators are accountable to the government instead of to patients.” He argues that if we want better health care, we have to measure patient satisfaction as well as costs.
