(Edmonton, AB) — Canadian eHealth has been front-and-centre on a variety of media outlets of late -- the result of allegations of a consulting contract scandal in Ontario and a fraud and breach of trust investigation British Columbia. In addition, Alberta Health Services has a new chief executive officer, Australian Stephen Ducket. He has been appointed to rigorously bring health care spending in the province down, following what has been termed a disastrous merger of regionalized health care spending into a single superboard, and has been working to implement a centralized corporatist model in Alberta.
