An exploratory study of the incentives and disincentives influencing quality of care for depression and anxiety in Ontario Family Health Teams - physicians' perspectives

FY 2014-15

Summary
This poster presents findings from a pilot study that examines barriers and facilitators to the treatment of depression and anxiety in Ontario's Family Health Teams. Family Health Teams are one model of primary health care that brings together family physicians and an interdisciplinary team to provide comprehensive patient care. A framework of incentives and disincentives is used to explore ways that the barriers and facilitators may influence quality treatment of depression and anxiety. Incentives encourage treatment of depression and anxiety; whereas, disincentives deter the treatment of depression and anxiety. Individual interviews were conducted with ten family physicians from Family Health Teams located in Toronto, Ontario from June-August 2013. This research was conducted during a postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health in Toronto, Ontario.
