Healthcare Excellence Canada launched the Strengthening Primary Care in Northern, Rural and Remote Communities program (Strengthening Primary Care) to strengthen access to team-based primary care in northern, rural and remote communities.

Virtual care is growing rapidly across the country as more primary care providers use technology to deliver healthcare. That’s why Healthcare Excellence Canada has launched an initiative to help care providers and patients work together to ensure virtual care is provided in an appropriate, safe and equitable way.

Healthcare Excellence Canada partnered with Canada Health Infoway, the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada to spread the adoption of two proven innovations that had substantially increased access to primary care specialty services.

The Health Workforce Innovation Challenge supported teams across Canada to strengthen their workforces and deliver safer, higher-quality care. Find out what teams accomplished and how they’re helping make positive changes across health systems.

Virtual Care Together supports healthcare providers with tools and training to deliver safe and high-quality virtual care.
