Integrated Care Models Optimizing Scope

Leads: Gayle Halas & Sophia Myles

This theme will synthesize knowledge and provide support to scale up innovations in cross sector interprofessional models of care across settings and provinces that organize health care practice to meet patient needs and expectations; better understanding the barriers, facilitators and enablers for more effective utilization of existing and enabling where appropriate advanced scopes of practice linking these to educational requirements and training models; and better assessing the impact of such models on HWF forecasting (partnering with the modelling hub).
