There are about 25,000 people without access to a primary care provider in New Brunswick and only about a third of those who do can see their provider quickly.
In order to begin tackling that list and matching people with more permanent primary care arrangements, Beaulieu says the province will emphasize collaborative care practices, or offices where multiple different practitioners work under the same roof to provide services to a large pool of patients. He says that will hopefully begin to boost the number of people who have timely access to primary care.
“Depending on what the patient is presenting with, they may not need to see the physician, they may see the nurse within the facility, a dietitian, or whatever other allied health professional is part of the collaborative practice.”Story continues below advertisement
