BCM is designed to drive interdisciplinary care; it is also a way to maintain access and continuity. As the BCM payment model takes away the “whites of eyes” rule – you can now shift to deliver care in innovative ways and maximize the team’s capacity without concerns regarding compensation for each service provided.
The positions listed below provide examples of how you can expand the scope of your health team members in your BCM clinic. Please note the following:
- The scope of practice for each position will depend on whether the individual has received additional training/certification. E.g., an LPN cannot undertake footcare unless they have taken a specific course to do this
- Further information on guidelines, standards of practice on restricted activities, advance practice, and supervision for LPNs and are RNs are included below:
THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.
These are examples of health team processes:

Notes: Booking for the interdisciplinary health team
The scope is the same as the family doctor the physician assistant works with. They can carry out procedures, episodic care, complex patient care, forms, counselling etc.
Notes: Physician Assistants can not hold the most responsible provider role (physician only) and cannot carry a panel of patients themselves.
