Membership model
The CWC PCN’s membership model is designed to align with and provide sustainable support to you as you build Patient’s Medical Homes.
The College of Family Physicians of Canada advocates the Patient’s Medical Home (PMH) model as a “vision for family practice across Canada.” Their goals for it include:
- Team-based care
- Timely access
- EMR use
- Continuous evaluation and improvement work
PMH is also a provincial objective.
Membership is inclusive with core programs and services available to all. The nature of your practice determines your membership or service access type.
Information on which programs and services are available for each type can be found in the Programs & Services Guide, on related web pages, and outlined in the Mutual Accountability Agreement, which is updated annually.
