Learning Resources to Support Specialists Practice

Community-based Specialists are vital to our BC healthcare system. It is well known that many of these physicians run complex independent practices without the same infrastructure and resources that are typically available in larger clinics, hospitals, or other public institutions. In recent years, appreciated inquiry into these challenges have reiterated converging themes, including the following:
  • High administrative load and paperwork backlog
  • Staff turnover and team recruitment difficulties
  • Inefficient clinical workflows that increase delays
  • Outdated or under-utilized health technologies
  • Lack of business and practical operations training
  • Rising physician burnout and limited peer connection
