I would echo what's been said before. You can look at crazy definitions of rural as the number of Tim Hortons you have and set a level of that. But I really think it is a moving target and probably not worthwhile trying to pin down.
In terms of your question about teamwork, I think in Ontario there are several models of that. Primary care reform has been in place in Ontario for several years. It offers a blended income model where it can be fee-for-service and capitation, which seems to work quite well. There are several different models physicians can choose from, depending on their style of practice. With that is the opportunity to have a family health team, which allows you to partner with allied health colleagues to provide service. I agree with Dr. Strasser that in the rural area it's used much more effectively just because of necessity, and the reality is that primary care workers, who are the ones who access the family health teams, are having huge demands on them. They don't have the resources, multiple layers of specialists, to refer to. So the family health team helps them deliver very comprehensive care to a larger variety of patients and a larger number of patients.
