New Approach to primary medical care: Nine Point Plan for family practice
1. Practice registration (patient enrollment)2. A system of blended funding (salary, Capitation,
incentives)3. Primary care through interprofessional teams4. A balance between preventative, curative, and palliative
services5. central health records6. Computerized databases7. Use of health targets8. Local authority with fiscal responsibility for coordinating
care9. A managed system

“The Evidentiary Vacuum” “Discussions of innovations in primary care invariably take
place in an evidentiary vacuum. Strong evidence is lacking to support the superiority of any one model...”Hutchison B et al. Primary care in Canada: so much innovation, so little change.
Health Affairs 2001
Evidence from recent Canadian experience is that primary health care can be transformed through a process that is voluntary and incremental. This emerging vision (Patients Medical Home) offers opportunities to those ready to embrace innovation without imposing changes on the remainder. Hutchison B et al. Primary Care in Canada: Systems in Motion.
The Milbank Quarterly. 2011
The Science of ImprovementThe Evidentiary Vacuum…?
– The RCT-The ‘gold standard’ of Best Evidence in clinical practice – Quality Assurance-The establishment of Best Standards in care– Quality Improvement -A focus on the Best Quality of care
• A ‘new’ science…• Interventions (process, idea) made within a unique social context (clinics,
teams, systems) to produce the multidimensional changes required for improvement
– implementation of guideline based medicine –CPGs– processes of care- timely access, efficiency, patient safety– Integration of care- teams/systems that work
• Multiple models –LEAN, Six Sigma, etc – alone or combined (AlbertaAIM)-all intended to provide us easier and better ways of getting improvement faster.

No one wants to talk M%@$~#*!*^&(Measurement)
Measurement is about improving patient experience and outcomes by changing and refining the health care system rather than judging it.
– At the clinic level, measurement is about identifying problems, and recognizing opportunities for improvement.
– At the PCN level, aggregated data can inform the sharing of successful improvement strategies across clinics within the network.
– At the provincial level, aggregate data monitors the performance of the health system and ensures transparency and accountability to Albertans.
• Multiple supports available to us in our province. – PCNs, PMO, HQCA, AIM, etc
Primary Care News. PCN PMO. Dec 2015
The Concern...While once Canada was seen in middle of
the pack in primary care (Starfield 2002), other countries of similar wealth and health systems have advanced and left us behind. 2015 Commonwealth Fund Survey Naylor Report. Health Canada Oct 2015 (www.healthycanadians.gc.ca)
“Canada seems to have stalled in its commitment to strengthening primary care...In this regard, Canada is probably at least 10 years behind.”
Barbara Starfield, 2008

Performance Measurement
Measuring patient outcomes and experience
Monitoring preventive care
How Canada Compares• Timely access remains the lowest of the OECD countries.• ER visits per capita are the highest of any other country.• Coordination of care between primary care doctors and other home care
and social services is lower.• Use of EMRs to support decisions of care is not standard practice in
Canada. • Canadian primary care doctors are considerably less likely
– To assess/measure performance, and to track progress (17% versus 37%).
– To routinely review surveys on patient satisfaction and experiences (17% versus 47%)
• However, Canadian physicians working in primary care models (PCNs, FHNs, FHTs) had better overall results than their Canadian peers.

Quality Improvement in “small office settings”
• Benefits identified-– More appropriate, effective patient care– Greater practice efficiency and safety – Improved timeliness of care– Improved patient outcomes– Improved revenue – Clinic staff and patient satisfaction/retention– Improved practice reputation with patients and community
Woflson et al. Quality Improvement in small office settings: an examination of successful practices. BMC Family Practice. 2009, 10:14
Quality Improvement in “small office settings” • Internal Facilitators
– Intrinsic professional motivation to provide better care
• a “Physician champion” – an Idea and Improvement champion• (vs. Financial incentives)
– “teamness’ of the practice• An office culture that values and supports improvement work• A sense of empowerment within the team
– “Success breeds success- QI gains momentum with each new effort”
Woflson et al. Quality Improvement in small office settings: an examination of successful practices. BMC Family Practice. 2009, 10:14
The “Physician Champion”• The physician champion:
– is committed to improving care they provide to their patients– willing to change personally in order to do so– Actively supports the team, through encouragement,
empowerment to suggest and make improvements, visibility, participation
– Is a respected physician, a strong listener and negotiator, able and willing to take initiative as needed.
– has the networks necessary to identify experts and consultants with experience in QI to help facilitate the changes.
– acts as a liaison between their practice and the health care system
Quality Improvement in “small office settings”
• Internal Facilitators– Intrinsic professional motivation to provide better care –“teamness” of the practice
• collective values and shared vision• office culture that values and supports improvement work• generates a sense of empowerment within the team• clear delineation of shared responsibilities• routine interaction between doctors and staff. • Cooperation/commitment of physicians and other
clinical/support staff

Quality Improvement in “small office settings”
• External Facilitators– Available external resources, like Learning
Collaboratives, facilitators– committed internal resources, including the staff time
needed to engineer new office practices– Decision support, including systems to initiate
performance assessment and track progress– Support from national and provincial professional
organizationsWoflson et al. Quality Improvement in small office settings: an examination of successful practices. BMC Family Practice. 2009, 10:14
Quality Improvement in “small office settings” • Barriers
– Time constraints– Internal cost (staff time, equipment)– Resistance of clinical staff– External pressure
• loss of autonomy• increasing responsibility with heightened expectations from
patients, payers, insurers, and regulators.• changing remuneration arrangements
Woflson et al. Quality Improvement in small office settings: an examination of successful practices. BMC Family Practice. 2009, 10:14
Time Constraints
• Most physicians report overall career satisfaction, but perceive themselves on a treadmill, with increased expectations and erosion of autonomy. – Suggested Strategies to ease practice burdens and

What we Know Works…“The Medical Home”• The greater the range of services provided by primary care clinic,
along with a family physician providing a continuous care relationship to a defined patient population had one third lower overall costs and were 19% less likely to die
• “Attachment to a practice” was more significant than all other variables, such as age.
• For most aspects of care and health outcomes, identification of a particular practitioner provides even better services than mere identification of a particular place”.

What do we know works in Canada…Practices that provide the best, most effective care...• Enhance capacity through effective patient flow processes, focusing
on eliminating delays for appointments and at appointments.
• have a sound knowledge of patient population, and of their community resources. (Four Principles of Family Medicine)
• Have pre – planned and prepared for patient encounters, using protocols and guidelines to support collaborative team-based care, whether co-located or not
• Have a strong emphasis on self management
• Use and share sophisticated electronic medical records that include clinical decision support, prompts, reminders, registries, communication tools for other providers, etc
• Use continuous measurement and evaluation to inform changeKatz, Glasier et al. “Applying what works in Canada: Closing the Gap”. CHSRF Working Group. Jan 2008
What do our patients value?• The single most important
issue for Canadians is poor access to health services. (p>0.01)– Access to primary care (for appts)– Timeliness at the appointment– Respect and empathy– Time available in the consultation– Medication and Treatment costs
• Delay in seeing a doctor and getting treatment is the longest among the seven developed countries.
(2015 Commonwealth Fund Survey)
• Physicians prioritize:– ER visits– Self efficacy– Multidisciplinary teams– Collaboration between
healthcare organizations– Self care support– Technical quality of Chronic
disease management– Physical activity counselling
