Dr Pippa Hall discusses a model implemented in three distinct geographic catchments in Ottawa and areas west and east of Ottawa as supported by the original Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care Palliative Care Initiative funding, used in part, to support family physician professional development in palliative care.

The work of Dr Hall and her colleagues has important change management innovations and local capacity-building features that are well worth a second look for those tasked with designing initiatives for local and delivery system impact.
