"This case study employed four broad approaches to understand how PSP and the DoFP are working together to support the creation of networks. These approaches included:
1. A review of local documentation that focused on the relationship structure and current work taking place to support the development of FP networks.
2. A literature review which reviewed over 50 research articles, policy and position documents, guidelines, and best practices to focus on understanding how other groups across Canada and the developed world have worked together in primary care to create networks within primary care. These findings are available in Appendix 3.
3. Interviews with key stakeholders at a local, regional and provincial level to understand the various factors (i.e. political, environmental, technological, legal) influencing the development of FP networks in the Thompson Region and BC more broadly. The list of individuals interviewed is included in Appendix 1.
4. A survey of the members of the Thompson Region DoFP which asked questions on their current levels of networking and areas for which they see opportunities to network."

Principles and Approaches to Best Practice Team Based Care and Organizational Excellence – Reflections from the Nuka Symposium, August 2019 - Presentation
" Southcentral Foundation has had tremendous success in improving primary care from a quadruple aim perspective. In August 2019 a cohort of 19 attended a symposium created for BC participants to learn about their Nuka Model of Care.The webinar, hosted by Dr Dan Horvat along with a panel of Physicians who also attended, presented on the key learnings and how they can be applied in BC. This is the slide deck used during the Principles and Approaches to Best Practice Team Based Care and Organizational Excellence – Reflections from the Nuka Symposium, August 2019 webinar held on January 22, 2020."

"The report provides valuable lessons about the process of onboarding and integrating nurses into family practices (e.g. preparation prior to onboarding, building trust with team members). Initial outcomes related to attachment, access, and patient and provider experience are explored. While the findings in the report are primarily focused on the Nurse in Primary Care Practice program in Central Okanagan, the findings can be applied to any team-based care environment, regardless of funding model."

"The PMH Most Significant Change Evaluation describes the changes that resulted from Patient Medical Home (PMH) strategies such as the implementation of team-based care with allied health professionals (i.e., pharmacists and social workers). By collecting, sharing, and reflecting on PMH stories from across BC, this project identifies common and different values held by different stakeholder groups in the BC health system."

"This is the Central Okanagan Division of Family Practice’s PMH Engagement Journey. The PMH Engagement Journeys were designed to capture eight divisions' early implementation of the patient medical home (PMH) model of health care. The stories offer a look at the challenges and successes the divisions experienced along their journeys, and the resources they created to engage members and partners around primary care. It is the hope that these stories will act as a resource, support, and source of inspiration for other divisions beginning their journeys to an integrated system of care via the PMH."

"This document details the full case study on the Burnaby DoFP Neighborhood Networks. As part of GPSC commitment to the development of physician networks as a key component of primary care system change, the Burnaby DoFP Neighborhood Network case study explores the development and implementation of three neighborhood networks in Burnaby. The creation of neighborhood networks in Burnaby was prompted by family physicians who recognized the need to bring together family physicians from across local communities to increase their interconnectedness, provide opportunities for local Primary Care Network planning, and enable methods for sharing care with each other with the goal of improving patient access to medical care across Burnaby. Burnaby’s neighborhood networks have supported family physicians to connect socially, learn from each other, identify options for locum coverage and after-hours care, and support referrals to specialist care throughout the networks. Key outcomes: family physicians were able to increase patients’ access to care by referring patients to their family physician peers, expanding their use of locums, working on the development of an Urgent and Primary Care Clinic, and procuring additional healthcare resources for the neighborhood networks. A discussion of the neighborhood network's future goals and next steps is included."

"This is the full case study report for the Sunshine Coast Data Integration Case Study. The Sunshine Coast Data Integration Case Study explores work done to advance data integration across five primary care clinics using Med Access EMR. The project involved 38 family physicians on the Sunshine Coast who desired a technical solution to lacking information continuity for their patients, who they often see across multiple primary care settings with separate EMRs. While the project work stalled due to technical problems that emerged during the vendor engagement step, the case study offers previously unavailable insight into the expected project phases for large-scale data integration work, and typical challenges and enablers that might impede or maintain such initiatives."
