Regionalization of Cardiac Surgery in the United States and Canada: Geographic Access, Choice, and Outcomes

Regionalization of facilities performing cardiac surgery is one of the most contentious regulatory policies currently restricting the supply of specialized health services and technology. This article compares the regionalization policies of the United States (New York and California) and Canada (Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia) in terms of geographic access to coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) and surgical outcomes.
