The 12 teams were part of the Community-based Primary Health Care (CBPHC) signature initiative, funded by the CIHR Institute of Health Services and Policy Research and the Institute of Population and Public Health. The initiative produced innovation in the delivery of primary care with a specific focus on complex/vulnerable populations and prevention and management of chronic conditions. Evaluation activities included: collecting information on common indicators of primary care performance; and developing logic models to map the pathway to impact for the 12 teams.
