The GPSC works with doctors, divisions, and partners to support the evaluation of projects and innovations within the integrated system of care being created through patient medical homes (PMH) and primary care networks (PCN). The evaluation process takes place at the local, regional, and provincial levels.

The goal of evaluation is to give divisions, doctors, and partners the opportunity to learn from experiences, adopt innovations, and make strategic decisions. The process supports knowledge sharing and health system improvement, and helps the GPSC to support the spread of success and identify and address needs in practices, communities, and the system.

PMH Asessement
The voluntary self-assessment supports family doctors to reflect on their practice in relation to the 12 PMH attributes. Doctors can complete the assessment independently, one-on-one with support from PSP, or in a group division event.
Work to date: 2,000+ GPs (34% of all GPs) have completed the electronic PMH self-assessment at least once.
(Updated: August 2019)
Case studies

Work to date: 12 mixed-method evaluations completed or underway
