Medical Access to Service (MAS)

The Departments of Medicine, Family Medicine, Cardiac Sciences, Rural Medicine, Palliative/End of Life Care, Psychiatry, Surgical Services, Clinical Neurosciences, Women's Health, Medical Genetics, Pediatrics and the Tom Baker Cancer Centre have been working with groups of physicians and other healthcare providers to redesign and improve access to care.

The key changes to process as a result of the Medical Access project work are:

• A single standard referral form for all involved specialties
• Increased flexibility in submitting referrals
• Central Intake Clinics introduced in many specialty areas
• Standard processes and target times for these Central Intakes
• Improvements in communication strategies
