Abstract:
For collaborative patient-centered practice models to develop, improved collaboration in the workplace is needed. In this project we aimed to create a model of continuing professional development (CPD) using a case based approach that would allow the exchange of information between primary health care providers in the community. Over 60 participants from community care sectors including physicians, nurses and administrators participated in a planning group and two consultation workshops. Using participatory action research methods, themes contributing to and inhibiting communication, collaboration and coordination of care in the community were identified. Recommendations for solutions were prioritized and implemented. Evaluations suggest that the case scenario and consultation approach successfully focused participants to address relevant local issues to improve collaboration among community providers.
