MacEwan University Health Centre
Overview
MacEwan University Health Centre is purpose-built and staffed with the Medical Home in mind. Situated on the northern edge of the MacEwan University campus in downtown Edmonton, this academic teaching site is a unique collaboration between the University of Alberta's Department of Family Medicine and MacEwan University championing the Patient's Medical Home. In 2023, the clinic received the Patient’s Medical Home Outstanding Family Practice Award from the the Alberta College of Family Physicians (ACFP).
To optimize care for each patient, the primary care provider works together with the clinic’s nurses, medical office assistants, social workers, pharmacists, and occupational therapist. To optimize the clinic’s already exemplary processes, a quality improvement lens resulting in “continuous improvement initiatives to lead and innovate in the primary care setting” is coordinated by a designated team. The data consistently collected by this team is used to assess performance so adjustments may be made if necessary.
