- Program Overview -

1. Project/program Purpose
What is the purpose of the project/program?
[List project/program goals/objectives here if applicable]
2. Target Population
Who is/are the target population(s) of this Project/Program? / To develop a comprehensive model of physician support and care to complex residents in residential care. The service delivery model proposes delivery of quality medical care in residential care for Interior Health Authority owned and contracted residential care facilities in the Penticton and Summerland health service areas.
The service delivery model is designed to meet the following specific outcomes:
·  To provide proactive quality medical care for individuals in residential care setting in 7 facilities in Penticton and Summerland
·  To establish longitudinal and relational attachment of family physician to patient in this facilities
·  To ensure provision of the right care at the right time in the right setting for the clients served
The service delivery model covers the Interior Health owned and operated contracted residential facilities in the Summerland and Penticton health service areas
·  Penticton has 5 Facilities with 464 beds & approximately 2.3 admissions per week (120 per year)
·  Summerland has 2 facilities with 155 beds & approximately 1.2 admissions per week (62 per year)
·  Total of 619 beds in 7 facilities
The Service Delivery Model
The proposed model of care will support longitudinal, relational care by South Okanagan primary care physicians for individuals living in seven residential care facilities in Summerland and Penticton communities.
A two phased approach. Was recommended:
Phase 1: This will be a three pronged approach in which the most responsible physician (MRP) is the key to providing the continuity of care but will be supported by the Doctor of the Day Program for urgent care when required after hours. This approach allows family physicians the ability to provide comprehensive/high quality care to patients in residential care. It also includes a Division Residential Care Medical Coordinator role that will be established to work on developing linkages and network with local systems and processes as well as to identify local gaps in care and services, leading practices and quality improvement opportunities.
Phase 2: The second phase will focus on expanding either the Residential Care Medical Coordinator Position or consider a Health Authority Regional Role if the program is to be expanded throughout the Health Authority. The focus would be to promote best practice and standards, implement clinical quality improvement initiatives that will improve the quality of care for all residents as well as promote educational and continuing professional development opportunities. Additional funding would be required.
·  All current residents of the participating 7 residential care homes

- Context & Situational Analysis -

3. Potential Influences on the Program / Evaluation
Are there any contextual factors or risks that might influence the program and/or evaluation? / ·  The success of the initiative is highly dependent on the active participation of family physicians and residential care staff in the residential and urgent care aspects of the program
·  With 7 facilities participating in the program, the capacity for the program coordinator to get timely data to monitor progress is very crucial
·  The capacity to measure some of the key indicators will rely on the capacity of the evaluation working group’s ability to access current data
·  Any change in bed capacity not aligned with the current program compensation structure
·  Changes in bed capacity between communities which may result in transition of residents between communities
·  Change in residential home management
