Patient's Medical Home (PMH): identified by its patients as the place that serves as the home base or central hub for the timely provision and/or coordination of all their health and medical care needs. Implementation of PMH is desired across Canada, including appropriate integration of virtual care and its application as a part of longitudinal relationship-based care in alignment with the PMH vision.

Health Human Resources: encourage support for the College of Family Physician's goal of every Canadian having their own family physician. The College of Family Physicians of Canada is also recommending increased federal support for a pan-Canadian health human resources plan to strengthen primary care. Investment into Primary Health Care Transition Fund would help improve Canada-wide access to family practices and allied primary care.
