Team-based Care Evaluation and Metrics: A Common Canadian Framework
March 3 | 9:00 am to 12:00 pm PST | UBC Alumni Centre | $100 in-person or $50 virtual
Objectives
- Provide input on the domains that ought to be used in evaluating the implementation and outcomes of team based primary care.
- Discuss evaluation strategies to measure the impact and outcomes of team based primary care, according to fidelity to core principles, guidelines or standards, and equity considerations (e.g. LGBTQ+, racialized groups, language minorities).
More than six million people lacking regular access to a primary care provider who is either a family physician or nurse practitioner to address their health needs. Solutions for addressing primary care access challenges require fostering collaborative dialogues, strategies and associated coordinated activities, as no single provider or solution can meet all individual or jurisdictional needs. The development of team-based, interprofessional primary care supports a comprehensive, coordinated, person-centred care approach with a focus on ensuring continuity of care and health equity. It is characterized by interprofessional collaboration wherein all health care providers are working to optimal scope of practice and enabled by digital technology, continuous quality improvement and other professional practice supports required to meet diverse population health needs and healthcare disparities. While evaluation of team-based, interprofessional primary care has not yet begun in many provinces, program leads have been onboarded and there are early conversations about evaluating the implementation of team-based, interprofessional primary care. Each province and territory with bilateral agreements may be required to consider evaluation metrics for implementation of team-based care.

This workshop will bring together BC Primary Health Care Research Network, Canadian Primary Care Research Network, and Canadian Primary Care Trials Network patient advisories to co-design publicly available knowledge products that could arise from the CHSPR conference (e.g. investigator/patient blog, podcast) in addition to kicking off discussions about strategies to increase underrepresented populations’ participation in primary care clinical trials. This second discussion item is expected to carry on past the CHSPR conference through a series of discussions through 2025.
