Are you interested in shared care planning with complex patients?

One:carepath, is a provincial research study that takes a proactive and co-managed approach to care planning and symptom management with patients who have advanced COPD, heart failure, cirrhosis, kidney disease, and stage 3 or 4 solid organ cancer to enable informational, relational, and management continuity among all those involved, and reduce hospital admissions and emergency department visits.

We are looking to partner with primary care physicians & clinic teams who use MedAccess, PS Suite, Healthquest, or Accuro EMRs to care plan with up to 10 complex patients over an 18-month period to care plan with up to 10 complex patients over an 18-month period.

My name is Smitha Yaltho and I feel privileged to work as a family physician. Why? I believe that being a family physician has been the best job any physician can hope to have. I have personally grown in my own abilities and skill-sets with diverse opportunities in ambulatory practice, acute care and work in Facility Living.  Working in primary care has been exciting and has also afforded me tremendous opportunities for growth while still remaining stimulating in its complexity.  I believe that Family physicians are trusted partners in patient care –  every step of the way. 

Why are you volunteering to serve on this committee?
I currently have an interest in Physician Leadership and  trauma informed care.  I have served as a director with the Board of Directors with the Edmonton North PCN, Edmonton’s largest PCN. Thereafter, I have worked as the Director of Medical Services with CapitalCare (also based in Edmonton) for almost 6 years. It is my express wish that my contribution on the ACFP board of directors will highlight the excellence of family medicine that exists right here and now within the Alberta health care system. 

What about the ACFP’s work do you find most valuable?
Ability to highlight and further support the excellence of primary care right here in Alberta.
