"This document is the executive summary of the Burnaby DoFP Neighbourhood Networks case study. 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."

"The Doctors Technology Office (DTO) and Practice Support Program (PSP) in collaboration with the electronic medical record (EMR) vendor have developed EMR orientation guides that outline how to submit encounter, attachment and shift records using a step-by-step approach. Encounter reporting is the principal mechanism for contracted Family Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and PCN funded Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses required to report on services provided to patients. Activity reporting using encounter records are initiated through the clinic EMR and collected by the Ministry through Teleplan."

"Vancouver Coastal Health Integrated Primary and Community Care (IPCC) and the Powell River Division of Family Practice (DoFP) partnered together on a one year pilot project to determine the feasibility and value of a Resource Navigator (R-N) serving family physicians. The goal of the position was to assist physicians in identifying available health and social support services and linking their patients to these services.
This report evaluates the Resource Navigator pilot."

"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."

"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."
