"The case study was commissioned by the GPSC Evaluation Team in consultation with the Sunshine Coast Division of Family Practice, and with the support of the Pender Harbour Health Centre. The case study documented various information including the status and operations of the centre, and the growing partnership between the centre and the division. This is a summary of the overall case study."

"This report presents findings from a case study of the Patient Summaries Pilot, delivered in Victoria, British Columbia, from September 2015 to July 2019. This case study covers the development of the patient summaries pilot over the first four years of operation, describing the pilot implementation, local network of project partners, technical components of the patient summaries’ development, provider perspectives, and project outcomes. A discussion of the conditions for success is included. As part of the General Practice Service Committee’s (GPSC) ongoing evaluation of Patient Medical Home (PMH)initiatives in BC, this case study helps to build a provincial picture of PMH innovation and implementation."

"This document examines the financial impact of the work environment of a Nurse Practitioner (NP) on Vancouver Coastal Health’s (VCH) budget. It evaluates the cost effectiveness of having the NP work from a General Practitioners (GP) clinic compared to the community healthcare clinic in the hospital. NPs are working in many different primary care areas, as a specialist or as generalist in a primary care setting. Compared to physicians, patient satisfaction and quality of care have been equal or higher than care provided by physicians. NPs are effective in the reduction of patient unattachment and reduction of emergency department (ED) visits. Although NPs take often more consultation time and sometimes conduct more preventative actions, their work can be comparable or even more effective compared to other providers.
This study hypothesized that the NP’s direct patient time and accessibility increases in the GP clinic, leading to a reduction of ED cost. ED and hospitalization cost of NP patients one year prior to attachment is compared with one year after attachment. Cost effectiveness is calculated by deducting incremental work environment cost by avoided ED and hospitalization cost."

"Article to raise awareness about Nurse Practitioner (NP) in Powell River.
To support better care for patients, the Powell River Division and Vancouver Coastal Health piloted a new program to refer patients with chronic conditions to a nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners can order and interpret diagnostic tests, make medical diagnoses, prescribe some medications, perform specific procedures, and refer to medical specialists."

"Established in 2014, the GPSC’s residential care initiative enables physicians to develop local
solutions to improve care of patients in residential care facilities. This document summarizes learnings and early results from the first five divisions to engage with the residential care initiative."
