The foundation of our current care system is an outdated funding model -- fee-for-service where typically, when a family doctor provides care for a patient, they bill Alberta Health a fee for that visit, and for each time they see that patient. There is a broad consensus that this funding foundation can no longer support primary care. Because of the way the fee-for-service model works, family medicine clinics across Alberta are struggling to stay open: this model ignores rising costs and additional administrative responsibilities that are not funded. There is also broad consensus that fee-for-service funding is unable to support new and more effective models of community care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/781710b8-8429-448c-9978-6b841995fd11/2.png Blog - Transforming Alberta Primary Care - This clinic (CVFP) provides team-based care to almost 25,000 Albertans – 30% more patients per family doctor than ‘traditional’ practices. https://www.cvfp.com/blog/series-qa-with-your-cvfp-health-team-joelle-pa monthly 0.5 2024-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/e71c32ad-7684-4067-bd5d-0cb81e6d13ed/Joelle+Blog+post.png Blog - Series: Q & A with Your CVFP Health Team - Get to know your CVFP Health Team – they are making a positive impact on the health of our community and beyond.

Joelle: A PA is a healthcare professional who works in collaboration with a physician to deliver high-quality patient care.

This means that we come out of school with a solid foundational knowledge, and the ability to enter any specialty for further training under our supervising physicians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/8bbc1131-4f86-476b-9658-b6cacf1f8a77/Untitled+design+%2821%29.png Blog - Series: Q & A with Your CVFP Health Team - How do you hope to impact patient care at CVFP?

Team-based care is foundational to the physician assistant role, and I am glad to represent my profession in a clinic that also values this approach to medical practice.

Hypertension is the medical term used to describe blood pressure that is higher than normal. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pumped from the heart against the blood vessels. This force makes blood flow possible, delivering nutrients and oxygen to organs and tissues throughout the body. Hypertension occurs when there is too much pressure in your blood vessels. This can damage your blood vessels and cause health problems. Anyone can develop high blood pressure, but it becomes more common as you get older. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/83979245-c38b-4afb-b2e9-316a3f2114c9/What+is+Hypertension+%281%29.png Blog - A CVFP Health Quality Improvement Initiative - How Can You Take Action? 1) Check your blood pressure at home with a blood pressure monitor (use the Blood Pressure Screening Guide linked below) or have your health care provider do it for you at your doctor’s office or pharmacy 2) Know what blood pressure readings mean for you. 3) Work with your doctor to develop a plan to control your blood pressure to help you stay healthy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/13c1cbcc-9a64-463b-a5a0-d2210d9d61b0/Your+Blood+Pressure+Screening+Guide+long+version+%285%29+copy.png Blog - A CVFP Health Quality Improvement Initiative Download CVFP’s Blood Pressure Screening Guide https://www.cvfp.com/blog/alzheimers-awareness-month monthly 0.5 2023-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/daa533ca-a27f-4a84-b90a-c4df97c3ee6c/Alzheimer%27s+awareness+copy.png Blog - January Marks Alzheimer’s Awareness Month In Canada - It’s estimated that by 2038, about one in 10 Albertans over the age of 65 and nearly half over the age of 90 will be living with some form of dementia.

One factor in this is raising awareness of disabilities which may not be immediately apparent but can still have an impact on people's lives, and even more profoundly so during this prolonged pandemic. Invisible disabilities can include learning differences, chronic pain, and sight or hearing impairments among others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/f4b8395b-b7dc-4bdc-851e-a57b430d045d/Screen+Shot+2021-11-30+at+11.30.55+AM.png Blog - Not all Disabilities are Visible photo credit: UNICEF/Uganda/Barbeyrac/un.org https://www.cvfp.com/blog/reflections-from-cvfp-health-team-celebrating-ten-years monthly 0.5 2024-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/77701d07-18c4-4d2e-9323-86fa36c48ef9/10-yr+team+%284%29.png Blog - Series: CVFP Health Team - Reflections from CVFP Team Members Bright natural dining room nook with vases plates and fruits on the table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/0762c8b0-f8ae-4f60-be98-20206c8112a3/Untitled+design+%288%29.jpg Blog - Series: CVFP Health Team - Strong teamwork and communication in a collaborative and compassionate environment are the very foundation of delivering a high standard of patient care.

This new care model positions CVFP to navigate the family doctor shortage by integrating health providers including registered nurses and physician assistants working to their full scope. By empowering these health providers as key contributors in team-based care, CVFP family doctors are able to focus their time as mentors, consultants and guides for complex cases.

Studies show that by integrating PAs into primary care, clinics can improve wait times, efficiency and workflow, as well as increase patient satisfaction and reduce overall costs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/8eb7a8bc-00f8-4507-97c0-08e62c5dcb0c/Colorful+Pastel+Things+To+Remember+-+Facebook+Post.png Health Home Services - Physician assistants function very much like a family doctor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/227ce1f1-72f3-4b98-92da-59bf772c3326/Dr.+Rick+Ward Health Home Services - “Seeing your CVFP doctor for targeted preventive screening is important.

Physicians here manage patient panels about 30 percent larger than their peers, thanks to a model where 35–40 percent of care is delivered by non-physicians. Executive Director Shauna Thome gives us a tour of the clinic, and then she and medical director Dr. Janet Reynolds join Tara in conversation. They talk about how: the role of the physician on the team is different the team is piloting new ways to attach patients without a family doctor continuous quality improvement—with patients as partners—shapes the clinic’s culture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614ddefd9dd6a12f1a93dfda/aafebedf-e9a3-4845-b698-7b1322118dc6/Untitled+design+%2839%29.png About Us -
