May 21 2024Canadian Medical Association Journal More than 1 in 5 adults in Canada did not have access to primary care , with large regional gaps in access, found new research in CMAJ https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.231372.
Dr. Tara Kiran, family physician and researcher at the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto and the University of Toronto "What is most surprising is the provincial variation in access to primary care," says Dr. Kiran. "Primary care is the front door to the health care system -; the first point of access for acute concerns, managing chronic disease, preventing illness, and helping people access other supports. It is simply unconscionable that in some parts of the country, this door is now closed for almost one-third of the population.
Related StoriesPeople with primary care clinicians also reported challenges in accessing care, as most practices did not offer appointments outside of usual weekday 9–5 hours, and more than half of respondents said they could not get an urgent appointment within 3 days of attempting to book. Many turn to walk-in clinics, which do not provide continuity of care, something that patients indicated was important.
