The relationship between the family and specialist physicians is fundamental to the delivery of effective health care, especially for more complex patient populations.
Collaborative projects, including Shared Care initiatives, can help improve the flow of patient care from primary to specialist services. By facilitating collaboration between family physicians, specialist physicians, and other health care providers, Shared Care initiatives foster mutual trust, respect and knowledge.
Through Shared Care, the Division can secure funding for special projects that are important to our members, such as Chronic Pain, Polypharmacy Risk Reduction, and Older Adults.
