Nova Scotia Health Authority's innovative Care by Design program provides residents of long-term care facilities access to high-quality and consistent primary care. This program strives to achieve quality of life for our most frail seniors and an appropriate healthcare approach to meet their health needs. The program ensures comprehensive, collaborative, and resident-centered care.
As a Care by Design physician, you will join dozens of existing family physicians on a collaborative team that strives to improve continuity and quality of resident care in long-term care facilities by ensuring better safety of residents' medication regimens, reducing transfers to emergency departments, and empowering residents to be participants in their care planning.
The program offers a range of benefits, including:
- Minimal travel and improved communication with facilities and residents
- Robust on-call services
- More efficient training
- Supportive quality improvement opportunities
Physicians are assigned to one geographical network, providing them with a stable and predictable schedule. They will visit no less than once per week at a scheduled time and will be supported by a group of physicians during after-hours on-call shifts.
The program is open to physicians who are working on the Longitudinal Family Medicine model, and additional stipends are paid for on-call shifts. There are no overhead costs to participate in Care by Design.
There are currently immediate opportunities available in various locations.
