What is Primary Health Care?

Primary Health Care is a model of health service delivery. Much of health services to date have focused on provision of medical services - services to treat acute illness after it occurs. This is often referred to as primary care or curative care. It is a philosophy and approach in which a team of health professionals provide everyday health services focused on working with patients, clients, families and communities.

Primary Health Care builds on primary care by focusing the delivery of service to include a holistic approach, a continuum of services, a range of health providers, the involvement of the public and recognition that health is influenced by many factors.

 What does this mean to you? Let's break it down:

Holistic approach: respecting the whole person by recognizing the relationship between physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being.

Continuum of services: Primary Health Care includes preventative, promotive, curative, supportive and rehabilitation services. So it involves the entire spectrum of health services and basic health programs: home care, public health, mental health, addiction and drug abuse services, primary medical care, long term care, emergency services, end of life care, laboratory and X-ray services, therapy services.

 Range of health providers: Interdisciplinary Teams of health care providers have a long history of working together to deliver quality care. More and more, these Teams are moving into a model which is based on a greater degree of inter-professional collaboration thus allowing a more optimal use of the team members by ensuring coordinated, comprehensive care that is provided by the "right care provider at the right time".

There is growing evidence that this interdisciplinary collaborative model of care can produce better health outcomes and improved over-all system efficiency.

Involvement of the public: Community participation is essential in identifying the broader health needs of each community. It is also essential in the planning of services that are responsive to those needs. In addition, Primary Health Care works to strengthen linkages with agencies and organizations that directly impact the determinants of health - agencies such as social services, learning, recreational facilities and groups, police, municipal government and others.

Health is influenced by many factors: Your health and that of your community is affected by many factors besides provision of health services. In fact, health services really play a minor part in how healthy a community or it's members are. These other factors are referred to as the "Determinants of Health" which includes your income, employment, education, housing, genetics, environment and social support systems.

What are the benefits of primary health care?

This primary health care model is based on the premise that health professionals, together with clients and communities, work to provide the integrated and accessible health care services.

Some of the most immediate benefits of strengthening primary health care include:

• increased access to primary health care resources and essential services
• interdisciplinary approaches to care and better use of highly qualified health professionals
• health care that emphasizes health promotion, disease prevention and the ongoing management of chronic diseases; expanded access to essential service, and improved integration with other health services, such as hospitals, home care and specialists.

Primary Health Care Teams work together to provide patient centered care.  The teams are interdisciplinary in order to meet the needs of patients, families and communities.  SCHR presently have 7 Primary Health Care Teams across the region:
