This project addresses the importance of determining how an efficient primary healthcare delivery can bex000D
designed and implemented in Ontario, Canada. In the current practice, an individual must search for a familyx000D
physician on their own. If the physician has enough capacity to take a new patient, that individual is assigned tox000D
the physician's list; otherwise, he/she should check with other physicians or stay on the waitlist. This practicex000D
can create different workloads for physicians and also result in a few issues for patients, e.g., patients may bex000D
left searching for a family physician or waiting a few days to be visited by their physician.x000D
This initiative is in accordance to the Ontario Government's decision to implement a new primary care modelx000D
through the establishment of the Patient Care Groups (PCGs). A proper implementation of the PCG model canx000D
improve the primary healthcare delivery to Ontarians. However, there is currently limited guidelines on thex000D
PCG model and its implementation. To provide a better understanding of the PCG model and a clear guidelinex000D
on its implementation, Homecare Intelligence Canada (a technology-based software solution provider) and itsx000D
academic partner (Ryerson University) have collaboratively started work on this project. The main goal of thex000D
proposed research project is to understand the logistical implications of this new model of primary carex000D
delivery.
