Description
Akm Alamgir and colleagues offer a 2026 analysis of a weak point in Canadian health care: millions of residents have no regular doctor or nurse practitioner for ongoing care. The authors argue that signing people up is not enough. Real attachment to a care provider grows from readiness on both sides, shaped by patients, providers, and the system itself.
The study mixed a broad review of past work with in-depth interviews of experts, providers, and clients. It finds that readiness is a layered process, not a single event or a personal trait. Team-based care and patient navigation help people settle into lasting care relationships. Staff capacity and system design matter just as much as patient effort. The paper urges planners to judge reforms by whether they build real, lasting bonds, not just full rosters.
