PPN Transition Companion

PPN ends September 4, 2026

A planning tool for BC community clinics

Your clinic is losing the Private Physician Network.
Here is your plan to replace it.

Answer a few plain-language questions about how your clinic works today. You will get a tailored report — what to put in place, who to call, and in what order — so the transition off the PPN is calm, not chaotic.

Step 1 of 7

First, tell us about your clinic.

We use this to personalize your report. Skip any question you would rather not answer.

What is your clinic's name?

Your name

Your email

So we can send your report. We will not share this.

Which city are you in?

Which Health Authority covers your area?

Step 2 of 7

How many people work at the clinic?

A rough number is fine. This helps us suggest the right size of internet plan and equipment.

Number of physicians

Number of support staff (MOAs, nurses, admin)

Tell us your numbers and we will gauge your clinic size.

Step 3 of 7

Which systems do you use today?

No technical knowledge needed. If you are unsure, just choose "I am not sure" — we will note it in your report.

What is your Electronic Medical Record (EMR)?

Step 4 of 7

How does your clinic get on the internet today?

If you are not sure, do not worry — pick "I am not sure" and we will help you find out.

Which best describes your current internet?

If your internet goes down for a few hours, do you have a backup connection?

Does your practice have more than one physical location?

Step 5 of 7

How do your staff work?

This helps us decide whether you need remote-access tools and how to design them.

Do any staff (physicians or admin) work from home or from outside the clinic?

Do staff use their own personal laptops or phones for clinic work?

Step 6 of 7

Who handles IT for the clinic today?

After the PPN ends, PHSA will no longer be in the support chain. We want to understand what you have in place already.

Which best describes your current IT support?

Has someone in the clinic been assigned as your Privacy Officer?

Do you use two-step verification (a code from your phone) when logging into work email or the EMR?

e.g. MS Authenticator / Google Authenticator

What matters most to your clinic?

These last questions shape the recommendations.

When you think about the transition, what is most important to you?

How soon can we get started?

The PPN ends September 4, 2026 — starting earlier means a calmer transition.
