The contract includes changes aimed at attracting and retaining family doctors. An updated payment model for family doctors will calculate income based on the number of patients in their practice, the number of hours they work and the services they provide. Under this model, family physicians will have a better idea of what to expect at each paycheque. The provincial government says this is a model that younger doctors are looking for. Funding will also be available for a pilot project allowing family doctors to bill for the services of healthcare providers they hire into their practice, such as NPs, dietitians or pharmacists.
