"The PMH Most Significant Change Evaluation describes the changes that resulted from Patient Medical Home (PMH) strategies such as the implementation of team-based care with allied health professionals (i.e., pharmacists and social workers), and clarifies the values held by different stakeholders in primary care transformation. The executive summary contains priority next steps for system actors (GPSC, Divisions, and FPs) to address."

"These guidelines are intended to offer clarity about information sharing between GPs and community partners for Mental Health and Substance Use (MHSU) adult patients (non-urgent care).
They were prepared to exist within the context of current legislation, including two privacy laws:
1) The BC Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), which is the ‘private sector’ privacy law that covers the Delta Division of Family Practice, Doctors of BC, A GP for Me, health clinics, psychologists, GPs, counselors, and not-for-profit organizations, etc., and
2) The BC Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), the ‘public sector’ law, which applies to the Ministry of Health and Health Authorities."

"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."
