PIN Phase 2 Demonstration Sites

PIN Phase 2 officially began September 1, 2008 when the Phase 1 Demonstration sites began their second year of Quality-Based Incentive Funding (QBIF).

At that time, the physician group from PIN’s control site, Steinbach Family Medical Centre, created their work plan for Phase 2 to convert to a full PIN site. They began QBIF January 2009.
