Evaluation Form
We are delighted to welcome you to the beautiful town of Banff and to the
Accelerating Primary Care 2012 Conference, hosted by Primary Care Initiative, a
trilateral partnership of Alberta Health, Alberta Health Services and Alberta Medical
Association, in collaboration with the University of Alberta and University of Calgary.
The conference begins with three excellent workshops that capture key elements of
the conference themes – team work, measurement and evaluation. These workshops
are followed by two days filled with sessions chaired by primary care experts who
will focus closely on the conference themes. Much of the information being shared
is practical knowledge that participants will be able to apply in their daily working
environments. We’re confident you will be inspired and motivated by the speakers
and discussions of the next few days.
It’s no secret that positive, long‑term health outcomes result from an effective
and accessible primary care system. Research and practical application prove
that consistent, available care by a dedicated team of multi‑disciplinary health
professionals, as evidenced in Alberta’s Primary Care Networks, means patients get
the best care from the most appropriate care provider at the optimal time.
Over the course of this conference, you will hear about the efforts to target, measure
and account for these health system improvements. You will have the opportunity
to hear examples of how teams meet and overcome challenges through innovative
service delivery and real community engagement, and you will gain a greater
understanding of the role of the patient in team‑based primary care.
Alberta continues to be a leader in primary care innovation in Canada; the sharing
of ideas, information and solutions paves the way for an even brighter future for our
health system. We hope you enjoy the conference and once again, welcome to Banff!
Sincerely,
Lee Hall

About the Alberta Primary Care Initiative
Alberta Health (formerly Alberta Health and Wellness), Alberta Health Services
(formerly Alberta’s Regional Health Authorities) and the Alberta Medical
Association created the Primary Care Initiative (PCI) in 2003 for the purpose of
improving patient access to family physicians and other frontline health care
providers. The PCI Program Management Office supports the development of
Primary Care Networks (PCNs) meeting the objectives of the program.
In the 2003 PCI Master Agreement, the three partners set a number of key
objectives to:
• Increase the number of Albertans with access
to primary care services
• Manage access to appropriate
round‑the‑clock primary care services
•
• Increase the emphasis on:
- Health promotion
- Disease and injury prevention
•
For more information
about the Alberta
Primary Care Initiative
and Primary Care
Networks, visit: www.albertapci.ca.
- Care of patients with medically
complex problems
- Care of patients with chronic disease
Improve coordination of primary health
services with other health care services
including hospitals, long‑term care and
specialty care services
Foster a team approach to providing
primary health care.
Each network determines how to best meet the needs of patients in a geographical area while working
within the provincial PCI framework. In PCNs, health care professionals such as pharmacists, dieticians,
exercise specialists, mental health professionals and others work closely with family doctors to enhance
primary health services for patients.
Currently, there are 40 PCNs operating throughout Alberta and more in development.
Over 2,500 Alberta family physicians and hundreds of allied healthcare professionals are
now working in PCNs.

ROOM 1968
Presenters:
Gabrielle Zimmermann, Alberta Liaison Officer, Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH)
Paule Poulin, Research Scientist, Local HTA Decision Support Program, Alberta Health Services
“Clinical trials show…”
“Data suggests…”
“A clinical practice guideline recommends…”
“Statistically significant results demonstrate…”
Health care professionals and decision‑makers are bombarded with information and statements like this on a daily
basis. Without a research background, how can we make sense of it all? Do you turn to others’ interpretations of
the literature, but wonder if they are truly relevant to your setting? Do you wish you could assess clinical papers
for yourself, but don’t know where to start or what questions to ask?
Workshop Objectives
This introductory hands‑on workshop will enhance your knowledge and confidence to critically appraise a few
of the most common types of research found in published journals. Geared to clinicians, policy‑makers and
decision‑makers needing quick‑assessment skills to evaluate scientific papers, this workshop will highlight the
most important things to look for in:
• a systematic review or health technology assessment;
• a clinical practice guideline;
• a randomized controlled trial;
• a qualitative research article.
Who will this Workshop Benefit?
This session will appeal to policy‑ and decision‑makers, health care professionals, patient advocates, or anyone
who wants to gain introductory comfort in interpreting medical literature.

D.C. COLEMAN
Presenters:
Neil Houston, General Practitioner and National Clinical Lead, Safety Improvement in Primary Care,
Healthcare Improvement Scotland
David Moores, Family Physician, Quality Health Services Lead, Department of Family Medicine, University of Alberta
Maeve O’Beirne, Family Physician, Chair QI Committee, Department of Family Medicine, University of Calgary
Mirella Chiodo, Informatics Coordinator and Administrative Quality Lead, Department of Family Medicine,
University of Alberta
Quality and safety initiatives in health service delivery are dominated by the experiences of the institutional
secondary and tertiary care sectors, while the vast majority of clinical encounters occur in the primary care sector.
A focus on primary care quality and safety is the emerging initiative for primary care networks, family health
teams / groups / organizations / networks, divisions of family practice and like organizations.
Workshop Objectives
• Identify common efficiency / inefficiency challenges facing primary care practitioners;
• Identify system and systemic barriers to more efficient primary care practice;
• Identify common and uncommon quality and safety issues in primary care;
• Identify theoretical and successfully applied solutions;
• Provide participants with a summary document of identified issues, solutions and reference materials.

Neil Drummond, Professor and Capital Health Research Chair in Primary Care, Department of
Family Medicine, University of Alberta
Lee Green, Professor and Chair, Department of Family Medicine, University of Alberta
Donna Manca, Associate Professor, Director of Research, Department of Family Medicine,
University of Alberta
Scott Oddie, Rural Health Research Chair, Red Deer College and Alberta Health Services
Practice‑based Primary Care Research Networks are a growing phenomenon in Canada with around
10 known to exist across the country. Currently, two such networks are active in Alberta, the Southern
Alberta Primary Care Research Network (SAPCRN) and the Alberta Family Practice Research Network
(AFPRN). Both are relatively small in scope and limited in resources.
Following current trends in the US, Scotland and elsewhere, we propose to create a large provincial
research network which will incorporate SAPCRN and AFPRN as semi‑autonomous regional network
nodes and extend their work across Alberta. This would lead to the development of an interprofessional,
multidisciplinary, primary care research infrastructure capable of undertaking many large studies and
involving the full range of health services research methodologies. Examples of these studies include
literature reviews and meta analyses, qualitative research, public health surveillance, longitudinal designs
and various clinical trials designs (such as cluster randomised trials).
Impact and Expected Outcomes
• Sign up of network members from disciplines constituting or relevant to the ‘broad church’ of
community based primary care practice, management and policy development in Alberta. This would
include, for example: family physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical
nurses, pharmacists, social workers, psychologists, behavioural medicine specialists, physiotherapists,
dentists, dieticians and nutritionists, public health specialists and nurses, PCN and family care centre
executive directors and directors of research and evaluation, Alberta Health Services and Alberta Health
policy makers;
• Decision in principle concerning the expansion of CPCSSN sentinel family physicians throughout Alberta;
• Discussion concerning network organizational structure and processes;
• Decision concerning potential funding sources for network development over an initial five‑year term;
• Decision concerning the relationship between and Alberta practice‑based primary care network and
the Canadian Primary Health Care Research and Innovation Network.
Who will this Workshop Benefit?
This session will appeal to network members from disciplines constituting or relevant to the ‘broad church’
of community‑based primary care practice, management and policy development in Alberta (i.e., family
physicians, nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, pharmacists, social workers, psychologists,
behavioural medicine specialists, physiotherapists, dentists, dieticians and nutritionists, public health
specialists and nurses, PCN and family care centre executive directors of research and evaluation, AHS
and AH policy makers, etc.)

Michael Evans, Associate Professor, Family Medicine and Public Health, University of Toronto
In this talk Michael Evans draws on the breadth of his experience, from seeing patients in a busy urban practice,
to founding the Mini‑Med School at the University of Toronto, to his role as chief editor of the provincial health
portal, health columnist for the Globe and Mail newspaper and health advocate, influencing federal and
provincial policy and research initiatives. These experiences are now fusing with the launch of the Health Media &
Innovation Lab (HMIL) at the new Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute where Michael is leading a “collaboratory”
to revolutionize the way people make health decisions. By bringing together media companies, designers,
filmmakers, expert patients, policy makers, researchers, marketers and clinicians, the HMIL will create and evaluate
knowledge therapy. Participants will learn how web 2.0 makes a difference, how stories trump data AND how
relationships trump stories.

Lisa Cook, Information Specialist, Chinook Primary Care Network
The developing architecture of neural networks in the young brain is shaped and strengthened by relationships
with parents who are actively attuned to the needs of infants and young children. Changing practices in Primary
Care Networks to include early identification of and intervention with at risk parents and their young children will
have a lasting impact on the children’s developing brains and their future mental and physical health.
The participation of Bev Stich and Lisa Cook is supported through a grant from the Norlien Foundation.

Tim Lenartowych, Nursing Policy Analyst, Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario
Pam Delgaty, Nurse Practitioner, Lakehead Nurse Practitioner‑Led Clinic
In this presentation, the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) will discuss two cost‑effective models
to advance timely access to quality primary care services. The first focuses on Ontario’s Nurse Practitioner‑led
Clinics (NPLCs); the first in Canada. With 26 NPLCs already operational and providing cost‑effective primary care
to thousands of Ontarians, the time for national discussion is ripe. The second innovation highlights the urgent
need to maximize and expand the role of Registered Nurses (RNs) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs / LPNs)
in primary care. With both an RNAO Policy Analyst and a NPLC Clinical Lead as presenters, participants will
receive a systematic overview of the two innovations and the on‑the‑ground insight of developing a NPLC from
conception to full operation at maximum capacity, including NP, RN and RPN role maximization.
Do Physician Compensation Reforms Affect Patient Care and Outcomes?
Lessons from the Ontario primary care experience
Rick Glazier, Senior Scientist and Primary Care Program Leader, Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences
Over the past decade, the majority of Ontario primary care physicians have voluntarily moved into group
patient enrolment models and half of those physicians are now paid predominantly through capitation.
These models have included financial incentives for enrolling unattached patients, preventive health care,
retaining patients within the group and chronic disease management. This presentation will examine the
relationship between physician payment and patient care as well as outcomes with a focus on lessons learned.

safety; and physicians’ working relationships. Her present research focus is on chronic disease prevention,
screening and management in primary care. She is a Co‑Principal Investigator on the BETTER project
(Building on Existing Tools to Improve Chronic Disease Prevention and Screening in Family Practice), a
project that aims to improve chronic disease prevention and screening by transforming practice through
the use of internal and external practice facilitation. As a network director in the CPCSSN project Donna
also works with sentinel practices to improve the meaningful use of the Electronic Medical Record in
chronic disease prevention, screening and management. Donna is in a unique position as a clinician and
a researcher to translate findings between research and practice, transforming both in the process.
