Ontario Community Health Profiles Partnership (OCHPP)-Ontario Physician Networks

Ontario Physician Networks (Physnets)

The Physician Networks (Physnets): Multispecialty Physician Networks refers to virtual multispecialty physician networks comprised of primary care physicians and specialists and the hospital where most of their patients are admitted to. Networks are designed around existing patterns of patient flow and not constrained geographically. Analysis to determine Networks was conducted by ICES researchers using health and administrative data. These networks reflect and respect the health care-seeking-behaviour of residents and describe the linkages among residents, physicians, and hospitals. Ontario residents are not attributed based on where they live, but rather on how they access care which is important to ensure current patient-provider partnerships are maintained.
