Abstract
Background: The objectives of this article are: 1. To synthesize peer-reviewed evidence on the outcomes of team-based primary and community care (TBPCC) in Canada on Patient and Provider Experience, Population Health, and Health Care Costs (Quadruple Aim); 2. To introduce the TBPCC Evaluation Framework; and 3. To extend the critical interpretive synthesis to include the additional four domains from the TBPCC Evaluation Framework (i.e., Relationship Centred Care, Care Process and Quality, Team Function and TBC Foundations). Methods: We conducted a review of the following databases: Medline (OVID and PubMed), CINAHL, Embase, SportDiscus, and PsycINFO as well as an advanced search with Google Scholar (Title only) with the words “Canada AND primary AND team”. Review concepts included: population (patients), intervention (team-based primary health care), comparator (usual care, single practitioner delivery mode), outcome (patient and provider experience, population health, and health care costs), time (2000-present), and type (randomized controlled trials, controlled trials, quasi-experimental designs, and implementation studies/evaluations). We excluded reviews, opinion papers, laboratory-based studies, and studies based outside of Canada. Results: Forty-five publications met our inclusion criteria with the majority of these (34) from Central Canada. Results were initially mapped to the domains of the Quadruple Aim, with 51% (23/45) aligning. The additional domains from the TBPCC Evaluation Framework (Team Function, Relationship Centred Care, Care Process and Quality and Team-Based Care Foundations) and the Team-Based Care (TBC) Adoption Model were integrated into the synthesis. 100% of the included articles reported outcomes that aligned with the TBPCC Evaluation Framework. Conclusion: Across Canada, the value of relationships, shared understanding, communication, and coordination across teams are highlighted as is the potential of TBC to result in improvements in patient and provider experience, team function, and the quality of care. By encouraging a focus on formative as well as summative evaluation, the TBPCC Evaluation Framework provides a comprehensive approach to assessing the evidence needed to support actionable improvements for TBPCC in Canada. Trial Registration: To identify peer-reviewed literature, we followed standard review methodology and reporting guidelines as established by PRISMA. We registered our review on PROSPERO (2018 CRD42018091086).
