"People want timely care, close to home, delivered by a primary-care clinician who knows them, stands up for them, coordinates their care and helps them meet their health goals. Let’s design care around those priorities." @MaggieKeresteci @tara_kiran https://t.co/pt2fuEOnGx

Primary care is not just about timely access to your primary provider but it is also timely and coordinated access to team members who are able to assist your primary care provider. Two quick stories to illustrate

A spokesperson for Health Minister Christine Elliott says the circuit breaker proposed by Ontario's Science Table "focused on the assumption that #Omicron had the same severity as Delta and that as a result, ICU occupancy would rise substantially."

It can be scary finding out that you were exposed to #COVID19.

If you’re fully vaccinated, asymptomatic & the case is outside your household, self-monitor for 10 days. Do not visit anyone at high-risk of severe illness for 10 days from your last exposure. https://t.co/eKiUIhCRoV

Shared purpose has been a key pillar of success in the spread and scale of the #BestCareCOPD program in primary care in Ontario. More than 400 primary care physicians improving the quality of patients lives and health system performance in collaboration with certified educators.

[Gordon Schacter @GSchacter]

1 year ago I sat at the table and successfully advocated for funding this program to the leadership @SouthWestLHIN. The evidence is their. This meets all the criteria of Quadruple Aim. Its built into OHT planning. @brucelauckner @celliottability time to make a decision.

[Daniel Pepe @dpepe88]

Why integrated care matters - because #familyphysicians cannot know everything. We need help to learn, keep up to date, know best practices. Integrated RT in clinic as part of @CLicskai's #bestcareCOPD program offers to review PFT with me

[Christopher Licskai @CLicskai]

The primary care physician manages their patient in their practice with program support. The program has a peer to peer spread and scale approach across team members of all professional designations. docs know they deliver high quality care, we measure it at every visit

@fauldsca @dr_lorraine @LFairclo @ChooseWiselyCA @snewbery1 @JonJohnsen1 @SaultAreaHosp @HQOntario @bitontirn We have completed an RCT currently under review by Primary Care Respiratory Medicine where we have demonstrated a 46% reduction in hospitalization and 2/3 reduction in ED visits with team management in primary care. Transformative innovation!! Meets HQO program standards
