Mississauga Health SCOPE

SCOPE is a virtual interprofessional program that connects primary care providers through a single point of access. Family physicians and nurse practitioners registered with SCOPE can quickly connect to internists, outpatient services & diagnostic imaging.

The goal of SCOPE is to:

  • Reduce emergency department visits
  • Provide patients with more equitable and pragmatic access to team based care and specialists
  • Establish an effective channel to deliver best practices and emerging standards of care
  • Provide an opportunity for ongoing physician engagement
