In response to the challenges faced by people in Ontario accessing primary health care, the Ontario Government has made a historic investment in Interprofessional Primary Care Team (IPCT) expansion. Under the leadership of Dr. Jane Philpott, teams have been funded to expand with a goal of increasing attachment for people in Ontario. An additional call for expressions of interest will be issued this fall.
The Alliance for Healthier Communities has created an online IPCT Expansion toolkit to support organizations who received this funding, as well as any IPCTs looking to increase their operational capacity and advance primary care access and attachment in their communities.
This toolkit consists of resources, case examples, and change ideas organized across nine key themes. It is available for free on our website, in English and French, for anyone who wishes to access it.
We hope that that primary health care providers, teams, and decision-makers across all models and serving communities all over Ontario will find it valuable.
Join us on Monday, October 6, from 12-1 pm, for the official launch of our IPCT Expansion Toolkit. We'll provide a brief overview of the Toolkit's contents, followed by a demonstration of how it might help you make the strategic and operational decisions necessary to implement your organization's expansion plans. We'll conclude with a Q&A session for anyone wanting to know more.
We hope you can join us live; however, the webinar will be recorded and shared with anyone who is unable to attend.
This webinar will be presented in English with simultaneous French-language interpretation.
