Integrated Care Team Training

Brought to you in partnership with Southcentral Foundation (SCF), an award-winning medical organization that has developed a “customer-owner” (patient-centred) approach to integrated Primary and Community Care. SCF’s model includes a range of interprofessional team members working together to support community needs.

The training will apply SCF’s learnings to the evolving context within BC.

Why focus on team-based care?

Canada is experiencing a health care crisis, with more than six million people lacking regular access to a primary care provider. Team-based care has been identified as a viable option to support provider satisfaction, decrease burnout and increase patient-centred outcomes.

Why Integrated Care Team Training?

We’re inviting clinical primary care teams to take advantage of this interactive training and support the shift towards a more integrated team-based approach in care delivery.

  • Gain insights from an award-winning medical organization
  • Learn about the “customer-owner” approach to integrated care
  • Apply SCF’s proven strategies to BC’s health care context
  • Improve team collaboration and patient outcomes
  • Access new resources, tools, and practices
  • Enhance provider satisfaction and reduce burnout
