We are too, of course. Recruitment of providers is essential, but in Nova Scotia we’re tackling the issue from all angles. When a new provider sets up or an established practice has capacity, we want to make it as easy as possible for them to take on new patients and does not take any time away from their seeing existing patients. On this episode, Tara Sampalli from our Research and Innovation team and Grayson Fulmer with Physician Services, join me to explain how we are partnering with Dalhousie Family Medicine to pilot an approach to patient “onboarding” that will see those Dalhousie practices add 3,500 patients from the Need a Family Practice registry over four months. It’s a peak behind the scenes and explores exciting possibilities. As Tara says, “some of the things that we’re offering up here are very simple notions, but they need to be happening everywhere.” To that end, practices who are curious about what our teams can do to help can contact [email protected] or [email protected].
