Why do sponsored positions for family medicine physicians need to be connected to a Patient’s Medical Home?

The Patient Medical Home model helps to ensure patients receive comprehensive, high-quality care. The College of Family Physicians of Canada defines the Patient’s Medical Home as a medical practise where “family physicians work in teams with other healthcare professionals to provide accessible, high-quality care for their patients.” These other healthcare professionals may include nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists and others who work with the physician to ensure continuity of care.
