Becoming a Home Clinic
Manitoba Health recognizes that primary care is a foundational piece of the health-care system and that supporting primary care providers to deliver comprehensive primary care will strengthen the system and lead to better patient outcomes. The Home Clinic model is being introduced to help support both primary-care providers and their patients.
A Home Clinic is a patient centered primary care clinic that serves as a patient’s home base within the health-care system. Home Clinics are primary care clinics that provide patients with timely access to care, coordinate their health care within the health-care system, and manage their health-care records. Having a home base helps support comprehensive and continuous care throughout a patient's life.
Home Clinics enhance patient care by giving you, their primary health-care provider, access to all resources and information to coordinate patient care more efficiently and effectively while recognizing the added responsibility that you are taking on as their key provider.
Home Clinic registration is now open and clinics can register at any time. To find out more about Home Clinics and the supports to providers, please visit the Digital Health website.
