Team-based care for all: Patient and Public Perspectives on the future of primary care
In 2022, Dr. Kiran launched OurCare, the largest effort to engage the public on the future of primary care in Canadian history. She will present key findings from the OurCare national survey on patient’s experiences, preferences, and priorities for primary care. She will also share findings from in-depth public dialogues in Ontario, sharing values and recommendations that the public agree on, including views on team-based care and specific perspectives of marginalized groups. She looks forward to engaging the audience in a lively discussion about how the primary care system can better meet the needs of people in Ontario and implications for primary care teams.
Learning Objectives:
- To describe patient experiences with primary care in Canada and contrast these with their values, preferences, and priorities for an ideal system.
- To discuss recommendations for a better primary care system that were put forward by informed members of the public in Ontario.
- To reflect on how primary care teams can move forward positive systems change.
