FOUNDATIONS LEARNING MODULE
Family Care Teams Foundations: Social Dimensions of Primary Care
About 25 min 14 pages
Module #2 belongs in the Forming Stage of the Foundations program, and follows Module #1 (Intro to Interprofessional Collaborative Practice).
In Module #2 we first describe the foundational role that the Patient’s Medical Home model and Health Accord NL has for the structure and function of Family Care Teams. In these foundational documents, both interprofessional collaboration and social determinants of health feature prominently. This module then defines and explores the dimensions and implications of social determinants of health for team-based primary care and elaborates on how Family Care Teams can integrate social determinants of health into their interprofessional practice. Specifically, we focus on ways to embed social determinants into professional roles, screening, care pathways, and targeted programming in Family Care Teams.Learning objectives
