Leveraging partnerships to improve primary care delivery to better meet the healthcare needs of people
Background: The Canadian Primary Care Research Network (CPCRN) aims to facilitate spread and scale of pan-Canadian primary care innovations within 4 pillars of research: access to care, integration of care, Indigenous health and ongoing development of a primary care information system. Approach. The CPCRN, funded by the Strategy for Patient Oriented Research, has invested in research projects and development of a primary care information system (…
The landscape of family medicine in India – A cross-sectional survey study
Family medicine was recognized as a distinct specialty in India in the early 1980s, but it is at an early stage of implementation. There are few training programs, and little is known about family physicians’ training, perceptions, and current practices. This paper describes the findings from the first national survey of family medicine in India. We administered the Landscape of Family Medicine in India survey to members of the Academy of Family …
Pioneering family physicians and the mechanisms for strengthening primary health care in India—A qualitative descriptive study
India has one of the most unequal healthcare systems globally, lagging behind its economic development. Improved primary care and primary health care play an integral role in overcoming health disparities. Family medicine is a subset of primary care—delivered by family physicians, characterized by comprehensive, continuous, coordinated, collaborative, personal, family and community-oriented services—and may be able to fill these gaps. This resear…
The emergence of family medicine in India–A qualitative descriptive study
Countries globally are introducing family medicine to strengthen primary health care; however, for many, that process has been slow. Understanding the implementation of family medicine in a national context is complex but critical to uncovering what worked, the challenges faced, and how the process can be improved. This study explores how family medicine was implemented in India and how early cohort family physicians supported the field’s emergen…
The mismeasurement of complexity
Defining patient complexity as morbidity alone is inadequate; such models neglect syndromes and conditions that are not included in formal disease classifications. Chronic pain should be included among the chronic conditions that are considered to constitute multimorbidity. In order to provide effective patient-centered care, discussions of patient complexity must also attend to the complex social and economic circumstances in which many patients…
Criteria to assess potential reverse innovations
BACKGROUND: Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are developing novel approaches to healthcare that may be relevant to high-income countries (HICs). These include products, services, organizational processes, or policies that improve access, cost, or efficiency of healthcare. However, given the challenge of replication, it is difficult to identify innovations that could be successfully adapted to high-income settings. We present a set of crit…
Assessing health program performance in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Many health service delivery models are adapting health services to meet rising demand and evolving health burdens in low- and middle-income countries. While innovative private sector models provide potential benefits to health care delivery, the evidence base on the characteristics and impact of such approaches is limited. We have developed a performance measurement framework that provides credible (relevant aspects of performance), …
What Is Implementation Research
Despite the growing knowledge base on evidence-based practices in social work and medicine, there is a large gap between what is known and what is consistently done. Implementation research is the study of methods to promote the uptake of research findings into routine practice. In this article, we describe the rationale for implementation research and outline the concepts and effectiveness of its practices. Despite a large number of systematic r…
