"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."
