The research was supported by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. In 1993, administration accounted for 57 percent of health sector job growth and all of the growth in hospital employment. The study also found that the U.S. allocates far more of its health budget to paper-pushing and administration than does Canada. While total health care employment per capita is 7 percent higher in the U.S. than in Canada, all of the extra U.S. employment is due to administration. Canada actually employs more nurses per capita despite spending one third less on health care per capita.
Hospitals employ more clinical staff in Canada, while nursing home staffing is strikingly better.
We have chapters across the United States.
