Identifying barriers to integrated and equitable care for older adults from minority groups leading to potentially avoidable emergency department visits
Introduction: Emergency departments (ED) around the world are overcrowded and wait times are long. Many ED visits could be avoided if patients’ needs could be met in a more appropriate care setting. Yet, patients, especially older adults from minority linguistic and ethno-cultural groups, continue to experience multiple and intersecting systemic and structural barriers to accessing equitable and culturally safe care. Our team has shown that when …
Exploring Primary Care Physicians' Experiences of Language and Cultural Discordant Care for Linguistic Minority Patients at the End-of-Life
Health disparities exist across different linguistic groups. Language barriers in primary care can negatively affect access to healthcare services and the quality and safety of care at the end-of-life. This study will take a novel, in-depth look at the experience of language- and/or cultural-discordant care for adults from linguistic minority groups through the eyes of primary care physicians providing palliative and/or end-of-life care. Language…
Patient, family member and caregiver engagement in shaping policy for primary health care teams in three Canadian Provinces
INTRODUCTION: Improving health services integration through primary health care (PHC) teams for patients with chronic conditions is essential to address their complex health needs and facilitate better health outcomes. The objective of this study was to explore if and how patients, family members, and caregivers were engaged or wanted to be engaged in developing, implementing and evaluating health policies related to PHC teams. This patient-orien…

Priority measures for publicly reporting primary care performance
OBJECTIVE: While public reporting of hospital-based performance measurement is commonplace, it has lagged in the primary care sector, especially in Canada. Despite the increasing recognition of patients as active partners in the health-care system, little is known about what information about primary care performance is relevant to the Canadian public. We explored patient perspectives and priorities for the public reporting of primary care perfor…
Citizen perspectives on the use of publicly reported primary care performance information
OBJECTIVE: Performance measurement and reporting is proliferating in all sectors of the healthcare system, including primary care, despite a dearth of evidence on how the public uses reports on primary care performance. We explored how the public might use this information, to guide the development of effective reporting systems for primary care. METHODS: We conducted six full-day deliberative dialogue sessions with a purposive sample of 56 citiz…
Challenges with access to healthcare from the perspective of patients living with HIV
Accessing healthcare can be difficult but the barriers multiply for people living with HIV (PLHIV). To improve access and the health of PLHIV, we must consider their perspectives and use them to inform standard practice. A better understanding of the current literature related to healthcare access from the perspective of PLHIV, can help to identify evidence gaps and highlight research priorities and opportunities. To identify relevant peer-review…
