Description: Ministry of Health Service (MHS) did fair and open competitive selection process which was the best example of procurement management in my opinion. For better procurement, MHS involved the private sector in order to reduce public-sector costs and risk. From this infrastructure project, I understood the “Finance – Design – Build – Operate – Maintain” model required to practice procurement services. To fulfill the objectives, project team considered traditional procurement and three public-private partnership procurement options. i. Traditional Capital Project: In this section, public sector takes care of all the finances, operations and maintenance of the facility. Whereas, private partner takes responsibility for design and construction under separate contracts. ii. Design – Build – Maintain: Public sector operates and finances the project and the private partner’s roll is to design, construct and maintain the facility for a specified time

The Saskatchewan heath care system is made up of several provincial, regional and local organizations, which provide the people their basic right to reasonable health care (“Health Systems,” 2014). Not having enough health care providers seem to be a problem, which Canada as a whole has struggled with (“College of Family,” 2014). The shortages of medical providers have lead to major discrepancies in the level of patient care between major urban centers and rural areas (Howlett, 2013). In the case of Saskatchewan many communities are facing this challenge, not only rural areas but also the capital city of the province (“Saskatchewan ER,” 2013). Stats Canada has showed that the number of physicians is at a historic high, yet Saskatchewan still face shortages (Howlett, 2013).
It is obvious that there is a large gap between where Coastal Medical Center is and where they need and want to be. When comparing CMC’s competitors, Johnson Medical Center and Lutheran Medical Center, CMC needs to provide more efficient, high quality care and focus on more profitable priorities instead of funding multiple unsuccessful projects such as the fifty-three unfinished developments.
Canadian Government has created The Canada Health Act and developed it in all provinces and territories to provide better health care for its country residence. There are thirteen provinces and territories in Canada that works according to The Canada Health Act. Those health care services described by health Canada are as following: Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Health and Community Services, Prince Edward Island Department of Health and Wellness, Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness, New Brunswick Department of Health, Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Manitoba Health, Saskatchewan Health, Alberta Health, British Columbia Ministry of Health ,Yukon Department of Health and Social Services, Northwest Territories Department of Health and Social Services, Nunavut Department of Health. Health Canada provided annual reports to keep Canadian resident updated for overall view of year (Health Canada, 2013). The Canada Health Act works based on its five main principles which include Public Administration, Comprehensiveness, Universality, Portability, Accessibility. Public administration requires that only public authority with non-profit basis have are allowed to carry out the admiration of provincial health insurance. Comprehensiveness conforms that very important needed health services such as hospital, physician and surgical dentists must be fully insured. Universality looks over all insured residents to provide them all with equal level of health care. Portability cover residents for health care when the...
As a way of fulfilling its mission, it conducts and supports research in health services within AHRQ and in the following sectors: institutions of academic; in healthcare systems; in offices of physicians and in hospitals. Weinstock (2009) argues that the agency’s portfolio of research is very broad and addresses all aspects of the healthcare system. The HHS’s strategies and goals act as a guide to the Agency’s operations. The Agency fully supports the strategic goals of HHS.

All parties of construction project will benefit from IPD. The integrated process required more participants' involvement at early stage, because the IPD structure will recognize the compensation and reward at early involvement. The compensation will be based on adding value to the project and it will rewards what's the best for the project instead of individual benefit. For example providing incentives tied to achieving project objectives and goals. The concept is to use innovative business models to enhance collaboration and efficiency.

The physical- financial entity is a balance of two different components working towards the same common goal. Each one has their areas of focus and attributes to contribute to the project. If one has more influence than the other, an imbalance could occur and result in problems with the development and its success. The physical side must work with the architects, engineers, and construction team to create the schematic design and budget possibilities for the project in the predevelopment stage. This will include alternatives and rough preliminary designs. When the development moves over to the document development stage, they become responsible for the construction documents, budgeting, and schedules for the actual construction of the project. The financial side of the development involves the business side of the project. This is where the market and marketability studies will be conducted and various feasibility and investment analysis reports will be submitted. The financial entity of the development will continue to work through the predevelopment and document development stages to put forth the best suited analysis for the market, feasibility, and marketability studies.

Public procurement also has an important impact on micro and macroeconomic aspects of the national economy and public finances. Proper public procurement system provides important end results, such as: a) ‘better value for money’ for the contracting authorities who thus create a climate of greater volume and better quality public services, b) a healthier public finances, which contributes to the quality of public provision of financial services, c) promotion of the preconditions for economic growth through the creation of a competitive public procurement markets and d) improvement of accountability for the use of public funds in particular through the promotion of the ability of contracting authorities for the quality implementation public procurement procedures (Mujevic, 2012, pp.
