Primary care physicians will be responsible for delivery of outpatient primary care to patients enrolled in CTVHCS. The physician and Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) will manage a panel of patients. Panel size is determined by VHA guidelines which take into consideration the complexity of the patient panel, available support staff, number of treatment rooms, etc. Each physician's panel size is specific to their practice and setting.
The PACT Model is a patient-driven, team-based approach that delivers efficient, comprehensive, and continuous care through active communication and coordination of healthcare services through an interdisciplinary team that includes the PCP, RN care manager, LVN, clerical associate as well as other clinical services necessary to meet the health goals and needs of the Veteran patient including specialists. While the primary care physician's relationship with the Veteran patient will remain key, that bond will be augmented and strengthened by involving other health care staff as part of an integrated team. Together the team takes responsibility for the Veteran patient's ongoing care through a cooperative effort among all members.
As a member of the team, the Veteran patient is an active participant in decisions while being provided information and encouragement to exercise ownership of his/her health. The Veteran patient, with support from other members of the team, becomes engaged in his or her health care, ensuring the health care system best serves his/her individual needs.
Alternative or collateral duties may include management of a subsection of primary care patients, the subsection may be defined either by a disease status, or demographic status (e.g., women veterans, OIF/OEF veterans, employees, etc.). Typically, these duties are designated at the time of joining but occasionally during employment, participation in special projects pertinent to assigned section may be necessary as the projects become available through strategic or other initiatives.
Physicians may be assigned duty as a supervising or collaborating physician for one or more mid-level providers. Physicians are expected to provide clinical oversight and review the care provided by mid-level practitioners.
