Single and group practices among primary health care physicians in British Columbia McKendry, Rachael; Watson, Diane E.; Goertzen, David; Reid, Robert J.; Mooney, Dawn; Peterson, Sandra

Abstract

This report offers an important glimpse into the organization of single-physician and group practices that deliver primary health care (PHC) in British Columbia. It identifies actively practicing PHC physicians and pinpoints their work locations in order to classify single and multiple-physician practices, and assesses temporal shifts in the organization of these practices. Perhaps even more significantly, the methods outlined in this report will enable policy-relevant research designed to enhance our understanding of the organization and delivery of PHC across the province.
