About This Opportunity

Nova Scotia Health Authority's innovative Care by Design program provides residents of long-term care facilities access to high-quality and consistent primary care. Care by Design strives to achieve quality of life for our most frail seniors and an appropriate health care approach to meet their health needs. The program ensure comprehensive, collaborative, and resident-centered care.
As a Care by Design physician, you will join dozens of existing family physicians on a collaborative team that strives to improve continuity and quality of resident care in long-term care facilities by ensuring better safety of residents' medication regimens, reducing transfers to emergency departments, and empowering residents to be participants in their care planning.
Physicians are assigned to one geographical network, providing them with minimal travel and improved communication with facilities and residents. The networks allow for robust on call services, more efficient training, and supportive quality improvement opportunities. Physicians are assigned to one floor/wing/unit in a facility and visit no less than once per week at a scheduled time. After hours "on call" is supported by a group of physicians and are centrally managed. call – typically once every 2 months or 8 weeks (including weekends). Physicians are paid for fee-for-service under NS MSI, an additional stipend is paid for on-call shifts and there are no overhead costs to participate in Care by Design. If a physician is working on the Longitudinal Family Medicine model, this can be discussed as well.

There are currently immediate opportunities in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, and West Hants.
