Description

This session reviews the evolution of the "Canadian" Collaborative Care Model and the forces that have shaped it. It describes the key components of the model including team-based care, support for self-management, building capacity within primary care and changing service delivery design to support collaboration as well as the core activities of Integrated Care. Finally it describes the ways in which integrated can assist in addressing wider problems facing many health care systems including improving access, family physician burnout, reducing the mortality gap and changing the trajectory of children at risk, with examples from different Canadian projects.
