Initiatives

The Primary Health Care’s strategic plan is to address:

• Improved access to primary care services,
• Development of comprehensive multi-disciplinary collaborative teams,
• Establishment of improved linkages amongst the different levels of care,
• Skill building in the areas of quality improvement/leadership,
• Access to and use of information systems,
• Improved working environment for all primary care providers, and
• Demonstration of high quality care with a specific focus on chronic disease management.

Key initiatives to meet the objectives include the implementation of Advanced Access, sponsorship of Physician Manager Institutes, support for the use of Electronic Medical Records, the development of a Peer to Peer Network, the introduction of Registered Nurses (Extended Practice) (RN-EPs) and midwives, the expansion of the Physician Integrated Network, hosting customer care workshops and establishing a provincial Maternal and Child HealthCare Services Task Force (MACHS).
