What is the Patient’s Medical Home (PMH) model?
PCN evolution is laying the groundwork for every Albertan to have a medical or health “home” anchored by a physician with the support of a broader health care team for improved access, increased services, and ultimately better care.

What is Practice Facilitation?
Practice Facilitators are specially trained individuals who work with community care practices to enable meaningful changes design to improve patients’ outcomes and clinic processes. They help physicians and quality improvement teams to develop the skills they need to implement and adapt evidence-based practices to the specific circumstance of their practice environment. They are a key resource in the transformation toward the Patient’s Medical Home and Health Neighbourhood. Practice Facilitator resources (albertadoctors.org).

Why does change matter?
The health and social needs of patients and communities are changing. The health system itself also continually evolves to meet new demands. The health workforce, including professional and support staff have changing responsibilities and capabilities. Physicians themselves have changing expectations of their role in providing care to patients. Why PMH and Getting Started (albertadoctors.org)
