Bridging Family Medicine and Speciality Practice for Efficiency and Enhanced Outcomes

Dear Colleagues,

Please join your District 2 Executive as we present a unique strategic session of how Family Physicians and Specialists can work together to optimize clear communication, ensure proper documentation, streamline processes, and reduce admin burden for better patient outcomes, while boosting the bottom line.

The session will include an overview of how the Pediatric Otolaryngology team has been utilizing a centralized referral for nearly 5 years in addition to sharing OR cases to help reduce wait times and how this model can be potentially transferred to other specialties.
