Within the overall goals of the program, FPNs will be able to decide their priorities and which initiatives will best suit their Network and patient population.
Examples of priority areas currently being worked on:
Improving working relationships amongst family physicians, and between family physicians and other providers
Team-based approaches to care & sharing of resources
Cross-referral to other family physicians with different skill sets
Improving physician recruitment and retention, as well as locum coverage
Access to, and knowledge of, community resources
Better communication and collaboration with the Regional Health Authorities
A collective voice in decisions involving community family practice
We will be sharing more about the plans of FPNs as we work through the development process.
