Every day, primary healthcare providers and teams work hard to provide safe, effective and efficient care and support individuals and communities to live well. This can be challenging in our increasingly complex and changing environment. It's easy to spot areas for improvement, but often it seems daunting to understand the issue, identify solutions and put new ways into practice.
Practice Support helps primary care providers and teams optimize the way care is delivered, allowing busy teams time to focus on what they do best – deliver care. Practice Support focuses on supports to help practice teams achieve evidence-based pillars of health homes.
Our practice support and quality improvement resources, tools and initiatives are available to support primary healthcare providers and teams, foster a culture of shared learning, advance quality and safety, and ultimately enable quality care for patients and families.
To support primary health care providers and teams in Nova Scotia, the Primary Health Care and Chronic Disease Management Network offers a range of practice support tools, resources and initiatives aimed at supporting primary health care providers and teams in your practice, fostering a culture of shared learning, quality and safety, and ultimately enabling quality care for patients and families.
To learn more about the tailored practice level supports and provincial capacity building initiatives that we offer, please contact us at PHCPracticeSupport@nshealth.ca or view our brochure.
