Evidence for benefits of Primary Care:
“… helps prevent illness and death, regardless of whether
the care is characterized by supply of primary care
physicians, a relationship with a source of primary care,
or the receipt of important features of primary care…
associated with a more equitable distribution of health in
populations.” - Barbara Starfield (2005)
“…available evidence confirms improved population
health outcomes and equity, more appropriate
utilization of services, user satisfaction and lower costs
in health systems with a strong primary care
orientation.”
Atun R (2004) What are the advantages and disadvantages of
restructuring a health care system to be more focused on primary care
services? Copenhagen, WHO Regional Office for Europe
Primary Health Care Charter
“Family physicians are the cornerstone of Primary Health Care.
They are part of a broader community network and professional team…”

“…the more higher-care-needs
patients were attached to a primary
care practice, the lower the costs
were for the overall health care
system (for the total of medical
services, hospital services, and
drugs).
The majority of the cost reductions
stemmed from decreases in the
costs of hospital services.”

Integrate and Navigate Primary and Community Care - Supporting Frail Seniors
1. Creation of meaningful connections between clients’ GPs and case managers.
2. The expansion of the care management team to include a Surveillance Nurse (SN) and a client services assistant (CSA) .
3. Incorporation of the CARE Management approach into daily practice by Case Managers and the SN

Impact of the Surveillance Nurse on Client Outcomes
Clients with the Surveillance Nurse (SN) are 3.2 times more likely to survive in the community than clients not with the SN.
Clients who are with the SN and who are contacted more frequently by the SN, survive for longer in the community.
A CARE Management approach appears to delay death or transition to AL /RC.

Added Value & Impact
1. Case Manager – GP Connections:
“This is the missing link..” Surrey Case Manager
“I met (Case Manager) last week. It was one of the most productive 20 minutes I’ve spent in medicine. She had a list of my patients on her books. We decided on the best way to contact each other quickly…(This initiative) is a wonderful positive example of the new relationship between MOH, BCMA & HA’s. When something is so right for your patients, it’s obvious” Dr. Ralph Jones (Chilliwack Family Physician / President, SGP)
“Very efficient use of my time, a no-brainer.” Dr. Robert Hepburn, Surrey Family Physician
