SRFP013: BC Primary Health Care Research Network Update and Evaluation

Veena Mudaliar, MSN; Nelly Oelke, PhD; Sabrina Wong, PhD, RN

Abstract

Context: The BC Primary Health Care Research Network (BC PHCRN) began operations in 2015 and is one of 11 Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (SPOR) Primary and Integrated Health Care Innovations networks in Canada. It is important to assess the BC PHCRN accomplishments in relation to the ten deliverables outlined by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) that aim to promote primary health care Objectives: (1) assess the BC PHCRN accomplishments in relation to the ten CIHR deliverables and (2) provide an update on research within the BC PHCRN Study Design: Rapid review Data: The BC-PHCRN Strategic Planning Report (2018), Tripartite Leadership Council meetings, Primary Care Research Reports, and the Achievements Report. Population studied: BC PHCRN is related to health priority areas including patients with complex medical conditions and clinician researchers using the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN) Outcome Measures: Stakeholder engagement, Ehealth, knowledge translation, and supporting research training. The network supports research training by contributing funding to the TUTOR-PHC program, an interdisciplinary research capacity building program. BC PHCRN is committed to stakeholder engagement by developing an active Advisory Committee, consisting of diverse clinical, research, and health system leaders and patient-partners. Ehealth initiatives include CPCSSN, a key project that extracts data from EMR systems and assists physicians with managing patient panels and quality improvement Results: BC PHCRN strengthened key relationships with clinical leadership (General Practice Service Committee), Doctors of BC and their programs, had discussions with the Academic Health Sciences Network and BC Ministry of Health. Network members were involved in different working groups or chairing groups (e.g., equity, access), contributing to the development of a patient experience survey. Patients on the BC PHCRN Advisory Committee have gone on to work with the Primary and Community Care Research Advisory Committee and the BC SPOR SUPPORT Unit. The BC PHCRN launched a practice-based research and learning Advisory Committee with the goal of informing high priority research for clinicians and to guide activities that involve EMR data and the direction of CPCSSN Conclusions: BC PHCRN has strengthened partnerships and supported change through evidence, research, and focused evaluation to ensure effective primary health care in BC.

Hi Neena, Sabrina and Nelly It is very interesting to see the key measurement areas of the CA primary health care research network. Just wondering if you were able to collect quantitative data on any of the measurement areas and whether any areas stood out as more successful than others (and why). Nice work! Best, Debora

Attractive poster on an important organizational process. It's easy to summarize a record of uniform success. I'd like to learn more about lessons learned along the way, particularly those that might help the further work of this group or be transferred to other groups working in primary care research. Which goals were easy and which were harder? What strategies were discovered or invented,? Who contributed to the successes? Thanks for sharing your work here at NAPCRG. - Bill Phillips

Agree that this is an attractive poster, nice design.  Were there any citizen/patient/public members involved at this analysis level?  I know that is an important component to the SPOR networks.
