Once Primary Care Networks are established they should:

• Help individuals find access to a family physician.
• Coordinate care between the physician’s office and other health care services so it is more efficient and effective for patients.
• Help individuals find care outside of usual clinic hours.
• Assist physicians in working closer with other health care professionals so patients have access to a wide range of services.
• Increase focus on health promotion, chronic disease prevention and care of those with chronic disease.
