The OurCare project surveyed people on their access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner and asked what matters most when reforming primary care.
Amid a nationwide health-care crisis, a group of Toronto-led researchers has criss-crossed the country to hear how Canadians would fix primary care, the front door of the health system.
The OurCare project — the largest initiative of its kind — surveyed close to 10,000 people from across Canada to see whether they had access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner and ask what matters most when reforming primary care.
The researchers met with more than 150 people in five provinces for in-depth discussions on the challenges facing primary care, each panel coming up with patient-led solutions.
