@OntarioCollege @rotmanschool Family docs this is a remarkable opportunity! Urgent need for family doctors to lead population health management in OHTs, Primary Care Networks and community clinics.

I’m so proud to be part of the team at Michael Garron Hospital. Our patients are at the centre of everything we do, and hearing back from them means the world to us. https://t.co/B8YwxagNwd

I've been wondering about enablers of primary care, and how quickly health systems transformation seems to be advancing in BC lately. Here's what I found around Primary Care Networks and Patient Medical Homes -

Family practices are dealing with high patient volumes of all ages. They require additional support, not admonition from their governments. Follow us to join the conversation. https://t.co/JMm4jyVJya

[Canadian Family Physician @CFPJournal]

Did family physicians close their doors to patients during the height of COVID-19? 🚪

Contrary to popular belief, 99.7% of FPs had their practices open in Jan 2021, with ~95% providing care in person.

[Tara Kiran @tara_kiran]

NEW: Our study published today @CFPJournal found that 1 in 5 family MDs in TO, surveyed in 2021, were thinking of closing their practice in the next 5 yrs

Our data also affirm that family practices were open and working hard during the pandemic

Here is @RickGlazier1’s summary slide from his @FamilyMedForum 2022 keynote address. Solutions are known - investment in primary care is needed. 66% of health care interactions happen in the primary care setting, but there is still an unbalanced focus on acute care. @CFPC_e

[Dr. Jobin Varughese @OCFP_President]

To my family physician colleagues, I so deeply appreciate all of the many ways that you have been supporting your patients during a very challenging time. You are making a difference💙.

[Allan Grill @allan_k_grillMD]

Long-term, we desperately need more investment in comprehensive, inter-professional team-based primary care. Only 25% of Ontarians have access to this model. The @CFPC_e Patient Medical Home document further outlines this vision: https://t.co/Daz5zkkZpB @CFPC_e 15/17
