Approaches to and measures for evaluating interdisciplinary team-based primary care

Interdisciplinary primary-care teams offer a promising approach to provide improved access to comprehensive patient-centred care. Existing literature supports the effectiveness of interdisciplinary team-based primary care approaches; however, to succeed at a systems level, regular evaluation of the implementation process and outcome indicators are needed. This rapid evidence profile provides a high-level summary of the evidence identified in existing evidence syntheses and experiences within Canada and internationally related to approaches and measures that may be used to evaluate team-based care models.
