Care coordination is a critical component of a strong primary care system. The Commonwealth Fund (CMWF) 2019 International Health Policy Survey of Primary Care Physicians polled physicians in 11 countries, allowing international and pan-Canadian comparisons of physicians' perspectives in this area. Canadian physicians indicated that there was room for improvement in coordinating care with those outside their practice, particularly specialists, home-based care providers and social services. Opportunities may arise in learning from higher-performing CMWF countries and in adopting new information technologies that are growing methods of facilitating communication across care settings.
医疗协调是强大的初级保健系统的关键组成部分。2019 年联邦基金会(CMWF)对初级保健医生的国际卫生政策调查对 11 个国家的医生进行了调查,使我们能够对该领域医生的观点进行国际和全加拿大的比较。加拿大医生表示,他们在与自己诊所之外的人协调护理方面还有改进的空间,特别是专家、家庭护理提供者和社会服务。从表现更好的 CMWF 国家学习以及采用新的信息技术可能会带来机会,这些技术是促进跨护理环境的沟通的日益增长的方法。
