What does it mean to be rostered with a blue sky physician?
Our physicians and the Blue Sky staff work together to provide a high standard of interprofessional primary care. We use an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) to coordinate your health information and organize our schedules to offer same day appointments and After Hours care, as well as appointments with our team of Internal Healthcare Providers.
What Is A Family Health Team (FHT)?
Family Health Teams are health care organizations staffed by a team of family physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, dietitians, and other professionals who work together to provide health care for their community.
The function of a Family Health Team is to provide a wide range of services and care options to rostered patients. Family Health Teams ensure that people receive the care they need in their communities, as each team is set up based on local needs. They focus on chronic disease management, disease prevention, and health promotion, and work with other community-based health care organizations such as the Health Unit and Ontario Health at Home.
