The program was funded in October 2021, launched in January 2022 during the Omicron wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, and funding concluded in January 2023. [...] Hence a team-based approach both in- person and virtual was proposed to serve the non-team-based primary care providers in the community. [...] A pilot called the Refugee Health Integrated Care Team (RH ICT) was developed that supported the transition and attachment of complex but stable refugees to non-team-based primary care providers. [...] IMPACT: Within the first 6 months of the RH ICT over 400 patients were transitioned and successfully attached to new non-team-based primary care providers. [...] TRAJECTORY: Multiple community, settlement, and health clinics including non-team- based primary care providers and their staff, have been continuing to co- design, and support the developments of the RH ICT program.
