The Lakeshore Community NPLC is proud to share that we received strong community support of our Expression of Interest to expand team-based primary care services in the Municipality of Lakeshore.
The funding announced in Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, includes a plan to connect more people with primary care closer to home, in communities across the province. The funding will:
- Enable multidisciplinary care teams to provide direct care to vulnerable and marginalized people as well as those without a primary care provider across Ontario
- Help connect people to care when they need it and avoid unnecessary emergency department visits
- Improve health outcomes by increasing preventive care and screening procedures
Our EOI demonstrated alignment with the following principles:
- Increasing access to care for unattached patients, patients with poorer health outcomes/health status.
- Ability to provide care to equity deserving populations with a demonstrated focus on reaching patients with poorer health outcomes.
- Efficient, effective and skills-based governance.
- Team based models of interprofessional primary care that maximize efficacy, scope of practice and how the team works together.
- Integration and collaboration with the broader health care system, including through Ontario Health Teams, as well as a commitment to participate in population-based planning for health service delivery.
- A commitment to using available data and evaluation for continuous quality improvement.
- The use of digital health to support care delivery and provide Ontarians with choice in how they interact with the health care system.
Funding announcements are expected Fall 2023.
