"Developed by GPSC, the information sheet suggests practical steps that physicians can take to manage liability risks in team-based care settings. According to the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA), the current medico-legal system that currently protects the interests of patients and individual providers can also protect team-based care practices.
The information sheet provides general information and is not meant to be used as legal advice for specific legal situations. For medical legal advice and assistance, please contact the CMPA and/or a lawyer."

"Team-based care is being established by diverse groups such as practices and providers, communities, and health leaders planning primary care networks. This Guide to GPSC TBC Resources is for all audiences interested in developing and implementing TBC. The Guide provides tangible steps and support for all stages throughout the implementation and improvement of TBC, from engaging and exploring, preparing, implementing, and strengthening and sustaining TBC. Resources in the Guide include tools that can be used independently or with training or coaching opportunities described in the Guide."

"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."
