| Abstract | In Canada, there continues to be large variations in medical practice across provinces and territories as well as across health regions in each province, raising questions about the efficiency and equity of health service delivery. This chapter focusses on the use of nine health care activities and procedures between 2003 and 2010. Hospital medical admissions have generally declined in Canada and are low compared with other OECD countries, but there remain substantial variations across provinces (nearly two-fold difference) and health regions (nearly four-fold difference). Knee replacement surgery has increased in all provinces since 2003, with no reduction in the large variations across provinces and health regions. This contrasts with coronary angioplasty, which has also increased in all provinces, but more so in provinces that started with a low level in 2003, indicating a certain degree of convergence in the treatment of people following heart attack. There has also been a strong rise in the use of MRI and CT scans, but despite some reduction in the variation in MRI exams across provinces, substantial variation remains (nearly two-fold difference). In 2013, the Canadian Medical Association, in co-operation with some universities and patient groups, adapted the Choosing Wisely campaign initially developed in the United States to promote more informed discussions between doctors and patients and to reduce unnecessary diagnostic tests and procedures. The impact of this new initiative should be closely monitored. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
