VDoFP Speaker Series: BC Population Based Funding System

Vancouver Division of Family Practice Speaker Series: How Family Doctors are Paid and Does it Matter? - BC’s Population Based Funding System

There continues to be much debate about the merits of different ways that health systems choose to pay family doctors. While most GPs in British Columbia work under the fee for service system, there is also a non-FFS funding model called “population-based funding” that has been in existence for 17 years.

Join us for this interactive Speaker Series Panel featuring Eric Bringsli, lead for population funding at the BC Ministry of Health, and Drs. Kuljit Sajjan and Mitchell Fagan, family physicians with extensive experience working under population funding. Together, they will speak to this system: what it is, how it works, what are its strengths/challenges, and what has been done over the recent years to implement this payment approach.

This event is directed to family physicians in the greater Vancouver area, those interested in health policy, and interested members of the public. We urge those interested in this topic to register, and to bring your questions or concerns to the Q&A session following the presentations. This event is free to members and nonmembers, no accreditation. Light refreshments provided.

Date: September 29th 2015 6:00pm - 8:00pm.

Location: Creekside Community Recreation Centre (1 Athletes Way, Vancouver BC)

We look forward to seeing you there!
