Two important reports were released in this past week:
- CMAJ published evidence that the combination of physician payment reform and team-based care led to improved diabetes care. “Our study suggests that Ontarians might be healthier if everyone had access to team-based care” said lead author Dr. Tara Kiran of St. Michael’s Hospital Academic FHT.
- The Auditor General’s Special Report on CCACs instructs government to “take a hard look” at CCACs and the delivery of home and community-based care. As health system reforms move forward, AFHTO joins with its colleagues on the Ontario Primary Care Council to call on government and others in Ontario’s health system to ensure primary care is supported to fulfill this central role in coordinating care.
