This chapter provides an overview of a P3 hospital model as it has been implemented by Ontario, and assesses the potential effects of this scheme on access to publicly funded hospital services. The focus here is on two related aspects of the P3 model.The first has to do with its impact on the management prerogatives and priorities of the public hospital board. The second concerns the opportunity the model provides for integrating privately funded health care services within the P3 hospital facilities.
