Evidence for the CHC model
The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives call for a closer look at the gains to be made in primary health care through the Community Health Centre (CHC) model. The authors argue: "The CHC model is well-positioned to address the primary health care challenges we face in both rural and urban British Columbia, while also helping to reduce health care costs through quality improvement and addressing the social determinants of health.
We have the evidence that Community Health Centres could play a very positive role in BC’s primary care transformation efforts."
