Grant: SPOR PIHCI Network: Management & Operations Grant

The Quebec Knowledge Network in Integrated Primary Health Care (Réseau-1 Québec) is a network of researchers, clinicians, patient-partners and decision-makers who collaborate closely to generate and apply knowledge on best practices in primary healthcare. Our goal is to improve the primary care system's ability to provide accessible, comprehensive, and coordinated care, especially for patients with complex needs. Réseau-1 Québec connects researchers, practitioners and patient-partners to undertake timely, small-scale research projects, as well as large-scale pan-Canadian research collaborations, in order to spread and scale-up best practices in integrated primary health care. We create dynamic learning opportunities, and facilitate exchange between our members, through our web-based collaborative platform and regular webinars, monthly newsletters, and methodological workshops. By participating in the pan-Canadian SPOR Network in Integrated Primary Health Care Innovations, our goal is to create a critical mass of researchers, practitioners and patient-partners engaged in the generation and application of knowledge for high quality, integrated primary health care that benefits patients.
