Collaborative Care Clinic
A collaborative family practice team includes family doctors, nurse practitioners, family practice nurses, and other health professionals working together to provide comprehensive care for patients.
A collaborative family practice team provides:
- Comprehensive care – the team provides a full range of health care, from basic wellness check-ups to managing complex conditions.
- Accessible care – the team works to offer appointments at various times that best meet the needs of patients.
- Coordinated care – patients see the right health care provider for their needs.
- Continuity of care – patients see the same team of providers throughout their life, building a medical history and trusting relationship over time.
- Community-oriented care – the team works to meet the specific health needs of patients, and of the community.
Primary Health Care is working to create more and strengthen existing collaborative family practice teams across the province. Having access to a primary care provider, such as a family doctor or nurse practitioner, is important to all of us for our health and wellness.
