Change package and training available for Primary Care
The RIFS Change Package and practice tools co-designed by AMA and the RIFS PCNs aims to helps physicians and team members implement practice changes that improve care for patients living with financial strain.
Training on Learn@AMA offers curriculum designed to help primary care physicians, clinical team members, and practice facilitators implement practice changes that improve care for patients living with financial strain. It will take approximately 3-hours to complete.
Thank you for your interest in and involvement with the RIFS project. This project was a ground-breaking collaboration between primary care, public health and communities utilizing a collaborative approach to address income as a determinant of health within the Patient’s Medical Home, Health Neighbourhood, and the community, resulting in a stronger, more integrated health ecosystem for patients. We are grateful to the many teams who made the work such a success and continue to collaborate and take action to reduce financial strain.
With the formal RIFS project now complete, focus has shifted to enabling this work to grow and evolve in other clinics and communities. Visit the Alberta Health Services – Healthier Together website to learn more and stay up to date on the initiatives that result from this project.
