Primary Care Network
We are in year four of a four year implementation of a Primary Care Network (PCN) in White Rock-South Surrey (WRSS) and then onto sustainment for our community. Read our Annual Report for year three.
Our PCN vision is to:
-
increase patient wellness by creating a collaborative and coordinated system of care where patients have access to the right services in the right place
Our guiding principles are to:
- foster a team-based approach
- increase the amount, continuity and/or quality of attachment
- improve ease of service access for patients and providers
- provide patient education on how to appropriately use the services in our community
- connect with the broader community
- increase competency with regards to diversity or health equity
- care is culturally safe and appropriate
- increase passion for our work
- facilitate the sharing and/or accessibility to patient information
By the end of March 2024 we will:
- have all family physician clinics in WRSS involved with our PCN and we will have approximately 27 additional clinicians--nurses, social workers, patient educators, pharmacist, mental health clinicians and additional counselling services
