Canada is distilled from one physician’s journey from the traditional
and individual patient orientation of medicine to a broader vision of achieving

The author urges that our health care system adopt the principles of Patient Health Management, in particular developing community-based partnerships, measuring results, and focusing on the optimal access, diagnosis, prescription and compliance. Patients First starts with the premise that no one can take issue with: Things can be better in our health care system, in every way. Dr. Montague’s prescription for improved health care – how patients, practitioners and policy-makers can make incremental improvements that will make things better – is supported by case studies, population-based evidence and first-person testimonials.
