Feb 25, 2021 - Routine Cancer Screening Outreach

Westgrove Clinic is expanding on its services to patients. During the pandemic we’ve realized that we can provide some healthcare needs and preventative screening initiatives through our secure email systems.

We will be sending out notices and requisitions to patients who are due for regular preventative screening tests (ie: mammogram, papsmear, Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) testing) through our secure email system (Medeo Health).  If you recieve a message from Medeo Health please follow the link to get to the message and download your requisition (if applicable).  Once you've reviewed your message you will need to book an appointment with the lab, imaging site or Westgrove Clinic to complete your screening. 

 

As always you're welcome to call the clinic with any questions!

Starting today, Albertans who are over 75 can use the AHS online booking tool to schedule an appointment to be vaccinated with options for a time, date, as well as a window to book the second dose within the recommended 32 to 42 days.

 

Those over 75 may also call Health Link at 811 to book an appointment through a Health Link nurse. Appointments can be booked for both the first and second doses.

 

Seniors must return to the same clinic to receive their second dose of the vaccine to ensure appropriate timing between doses and to help manage vaccine supply.

Feb 1, 2021 - Continuity of Care

Did you know that when a patient consistently sees the same family doctor and team, it can lead to better health? In fact, there is evidence-based literature that shows increased continuity or care, reported by patients, is associated with decreased mortality.

What is Continuity of Care? Continuity of care is about improving Albertans’ health through stronger, ongoing relationships with their family physician/nurse practitioner and team, increased information sharing and enhanced care coordination.

Continuity is Better for Patients.  When Albertans have a continuous, trusting relationship with a family physician and team, providers gets to know their patient’s story and become their medical home throughout their life.

The benefits of this strong relationship include:

  • Increased access to appropriate care when it is needed
  • Better health
  • Better quality of care
  • Improved care coordination
  • Improved sharing of information between care providers
  • Increased patient satisfaction

Important messages about continuity:

  • Visit your regular family doctor when you have a health-related concern or question
  • If your regular provider is unavailable, seek care from other members of the team or clinic who will then share information with your regular provider
  • If you need urgent medical attention from the emergency department, follow-up with your family doctor to continue any communication or treatment given in the emergency department
  • If your medical status changes, book an appointment with your medical home. They will help manage any changes and treatments that may be needed to help you get as healthy as possible quickly
  • Don’t have a family doctor? For tools on how to find one, visit Find a Doctor.

Though we have returned to in-person patient care, it won't be business as usual, so we wanted to outline changes that you will experience during your visit:

 

  • Arrive at your appointment time, not before or after.
    • This allows us to limit the amount of people in our waiting room, and provide time to properly clean treatments rooms between appointments.
  • Everyone entering the clinic must wear a mask.  
  • Do not bring anyone with you into the clinic for your appointment. If you have a family member or friend drive you to the appointment they will need to remain in their vehicle during the appointment. 
    Exceptions include:
    • Those with mobility or memory issues, needing assistance (limited to one caregiver).
    • Guardians accompanying a minor (limited to one guardian).

 

  • You will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms multiple times:
    • COVID symptom screening will occur when you book your appointment and when you arrive at the clinic.
    • Patients who answer “yes” to any COVID symptom screening questions will not be allowed to enter the clinic, and will be directed to contact Alberta Health at 811.
    • Staff members are also subject to COVID symptom screening daily, and will not be allowed to enter the clinic if they answer “yes” to any of the screening questions
    • If you have had any of the following flu-like symptoms within the last 10 days, do not come into the clinic, call 811 or visit www.alberta.com/covid19:
      • Fever
      • runny nose
      • shortness of breath
      • difficulty breathing
      • cough
      • sore throat
  • We are doing everything we can to ensure a clean environment which includes regularly disinfecting high traffic areas.

 

We want to thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.
