We have provided a detailed evaluation of how collaboration between an Ontario public health unit and its primary care providers facilitated an optimal response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. Family health teams (integrated, interdisciplinary teams that provide a range of care options) provided flu assessment centers, with public health as a partner providing infection control advice, funding, coordination, antiviral medication, clinical care guidelines, supplemental nurse staffing, and arrangement of communication strategies with the public. The family health team structure offers a new capacity for timely, coordinated, and comprehensive response to public health emergencies, in partnership with public health, and provides a promising new direction for healthcare organization.
我们详细评估了安大略省公共卫生部门与其初级保健提供者之间的合作如何促进了对 2009 年 H1N1 流感大流行的最佳应对。家庭健康团队(提供一系列护理选择的综合、跨学科团队)提供了流感评估中心,公共卫生部门作为合作伙伴提供感染控制建议、资金、协调、抗病毒药物、临床护理指南、补充护士人员配备以及与公众沟通策略的安排。家庭健康团队结构为与公共卫生部门合作及时、协调和全面应对公共卫生紧急情况提供了新的能力,并为医疗保健组织提供了一个有前途的新方向。
