MyPractice Primary Care Physician Report: Frequently Asked Questions

The MyPractice Primary Care Physician Report will provide you with confidential information about your own practice, in relation to peers across the province.

This report provides your opioid prescribing patterns compared with others. In addition, you can see how your patients are doing with their cancer screening and diabetes management, and learn how they are using other health services, like emergency departments.

This means you will be able to take what the data is showing you about your individual practice and use your patients’ electronic medical records to find specific patients in need of attention.

In addition, you will get practice ideas specific to improvement topics, which can mean less effort and time to find solutions that may already exist.

This report is available to physicians and their appointed delegates who have a ONE ID account and have signed up by consenting to the notification to collect personal information. Learn more about how to sign up for the report.

The report is available to non-salaried family physicians who work in a comprehensive family medicine office setting. Unfortunately, the report is not currently available to family physicians who are part of a salaried model of care, such as Community Health Centres, and family physicians who have a focused practice, (e.g., emergency departments or pain management). This is because each physician’s report is based on rostered and ‘virtually rostered’ patients, and those who do not roster/ virtually roster patients are not able to receive a report. Virtual rostering is an algorithm that attributes physicians to patients for whom they have billed or ‘shadow’ billed the largest amount of core primary care services.
