Is substantive transformation of healthcare delivery in canada a fool's paradise? Since this idiom refers to a state of happiness unconnected to underlying truths, it may be an apt descriptor given the many problems with the provinces' and territories' delivery of healthcare. Some of these problems cause harm, such as hospital-acquired infections, while others are simply wasteful, such as unnecessary tests or imaging. Moreover, meaningful transformation of healthcare delivery has been elusive and divisive in provinces and territories for decades (Martin et al. 2018; McIntosh et al. 2010; Ontario Ministry of Finance 2012).
加拿大的医疗服务实质性转型是否是镜花水月？由于这个习语指的是一种与潜在事实无关的幸福状态，考虑到各省和地区在医疗服务提供方面存在诸多问题，它可能是一个恰当的描述。其中一些问题会造成伤害，例如医院获得性感染，而另一些则纯粹是浪费，例如不必要的检查或成像。此外，几十年来，医疗服务的实质性转型在各省和地区一直难以实现且存在分歧（Martin 等人，2018 年；McIntosh 等人，2010 年；安大略省财政部，2012 年）。
