New Brunswick’s latest attempt to expand primary care access involves collaborative care clinics, a model that has faced challenges in the past. Collaborative care clinics group physicians, nurses, and other allied health practitioners under one system with central administration support. The idea is to tailor patient visits to their specific needs, freeing up doctors and nurse practitioners to handle more acute cases. Despite past successes, funding issues have caused setbacks. The government has now earmarked $20 million for collaborative care practices, hoping that administrative support will attract physicians. While healthcare professionals have expressed a desire for collaborative settings, the message may not have reached policymakers. The success of this latest attempt remains to be seen, but the potential benefits of improved access and reduced wait times are significant.
