The Practice Support Program (PSP) has a team of regional coaches that provide 1:1 support to GPs and teams to enable and optimize the use of virtual care technology in family practice.

Panel management
Understanding your patient panel can help you manage the chronic and preventative care needs of your patients. The concept is simple: better information about patients leads to better care for patients.
Panel management can help you:
- Easily track billings.
- Improve efficiency of practice workflows.
- Identify and clarify roles and responsibilities of practice teams.
- Maintain a better work-life balance.
- Improve communications and relationships with patients.
The Practice Support Program has an online Panel Management workbook to help family doctors achieve the benefits of panel management. There is a Panel Development Incentive, valued at $6000, to recognize the time and effort required to complete the workbook. MainPro+ credits are also available.
