Burnaby DoFP Neighbourhood Networks Case Study - Full Report

Published Date: 2022-02

Link to File: /media/divresources/BurnabyDoFP_NeighborhoodNetworksCaseStudy_Full_Report.pdf

Description: "This document details the full case study on the Burnaby DoFP Neighborhood Networks. As part of GPSC commitment to the development of physician networks as a key component of primary care system change, the Burnaby DoFP Neighborhood Network case study explores the development and implementation of three neighborhood networks in Burnaby. The creation of neighborhood networks in Burnaby was prompted by family physicians who recognized the need to bring together family physicians from across local communities to increase their interconnectedness, provide opportunities for local Primary Care Network planning, and enable methods for sharing care with each other with the goal of improving patient access to medical care across Burnaby. Burnaby’s neighborhood networks have supported family physicians to connect socially, learn from each other, identify options for locum coverage and after-hours care, and support referrals to specialist care throughout the networks. Key outcomes: family physicians were able to increase patients’ access to care by referring patients to their family physician peers, expanding their use of locums, working on the development of an Urgent and Primary Care Clinic, and procuring additional healthcare resources for the neighborhood networks. A discussion of the neighborhood network's future goals and next steps is included."

Description: "This is the full case study report for the Sunshine Coast Data Integration Case Study. The Sunshine Coast Data Integration Case Study explores work done to advance data integration across five primary care clinics using Med Access EMR. The project involved 38 family physicians on the Sunshine Coast who desired a technical solution to lacking information continuity for their patients, who they often see across multiple primary care settings with separate EMRs. While the project work stalled due to technical problems that emerged during the vendor engagement step, the case study offers previously unavailable insight into the expected project phases for large-scale data integration work, and typical challenges and enablers that might impede or maintain such initiatives."
