Objective:
To ensure the sustainability and affordability of Saskatchewan's primary health care system.
Activities:
Within the context of the Action Plan for Saskatchewan Health Care, Saskatchewan Health is:
- Building capacity within the Department to define core services, develop and set standards, and establish performance indicators for primary health care services;
- Building capacity of Regional Health Authorities to manage regional implementation and change management;
- Undertaking program development in community development and team training; and
- Establishing a telephone advice line to provide assessment and referral services 24/7.
Expected Results:
- Increased proportion (to 25 per cent) of the population having access to primary health care organizations;
- Established 24/7 access to primary health care services;
- Increased focus on early detection and intervention, chronic disease management, and primary injury and disease prevention;
- Established and implemented access standards for primary health care services;
- Enhanced interdisciplinary team approach to delivery of services; and
- Enhanced co-ordination and integration with other health services.
Saskatchewan's plan for primary health care renewal is based on a 10-year time-line. PHCTF funds are supporting some of the province's transitional activities in the first four years.
