Dr Janice Wong is committed to ensuring health and safety in her clinic. A family physician at Vancouver’s Woodland Family Practice, she received help through the Community Physician Health and Safety Program, a new initiative funded in partnership between Doctors of BC and the Ministry of Health and managed by SWITCH BC, which stands for Safety, Wellbeing, Innovation, Training and Collaboration in Healthcare.
The Ministry of Health, Doctors of BC, and BC Family Doctors through the Primary Care Compensation Working Group (PCCWG) are responsible for the LFP Payment Model and the new Comprehensive Care Payment (CCP). FPSC has been notified that the PCCWG needs more time to finalize the design and implementation of the CCP. As a result, the CCP launch will be delayed beyond the previously announced April date.
The Joint Collaborative Committees (JCCs), in partnership with Len Pierre Consulting and First Nation communities, will be hosting an interactive session to encourage ongoing learning and relationship building between participants and Indigenous communities.
