The commissioners welcome written briefs containing opinions and examples of research, innovations, best practices and lessons learned. The briefs should address any of the topic areas related to the Commission’s mandate and objectives, including: better health (e.g., improving individual, community and population health); better care (e.g., innovative models of care delivery, care in non-traditional settings, technology, experiences with the health-care system); better value (e.g., system financing, funding, quality and performance); care or system innovations led by or involving nurses and teams; and effective actions to address the social and environmental determinants of health. Better health, better value and better care for Canadians and the nation as a whole are incredibly expansive topics. Consider framing your feedback or submission using the following questions: What are the most pressing health challenges facing Canadians today? What do we need from nurses, other health professionals, governments and the public to address the challenges we’re facing? What can nurses do to have the greatest impact on the health outcomes of all Canadians? If you could make one change to improve the health of Canadians, what would it be?
