The Commonwealth Fund's "administrative efficiency" criterion ranks Canada poorly-sixth of the 11 countries compared. On two of the four patient-sourced measure used in this criterion, Canada was below the international average performance. For two of the three physician-sourced measures, Canada performs well but is significantly behind the best performing country. This suggests that Canada has room to improve, despite being better than average. Two opportunities for health leaders to make improvements are in relation to reducing the time physicians spend negotiating patient access to needed medications and reducing other administrative burdens related to claiming.
英联邦基金会的“行政效率”标准将加拿大排名靠后——在所比较的11个国家中位列第六。在该标准所采用的四项患者来源指标中的两项上，加拿大低于国际平均水平。在三项医生来源指标中的两项上，加拿大表现良好，但明显落后于表现最佳的国家。这表明，尽管加拿大高于平均水平，但仍有改进空间。卫生领域领导者可改进的两个机会在于，减少医生为患者获取所需药物进行协商的时间，以及减少与报销相关的其他行政负担。
