Dear AFHTO member Executive Directors, Lead Clinicians and Board Chairs,
We encourage you to participate in an important study to better understand what aspects of primary care practices in Ontario are associated with better quality of care. The information gained from this study may inform future investments in primary care, and will definitely inform AFHTO’s advocacy work.
This study is led by the Bruyère Research Institute and supported by INSPIRE-PHC, a Primary Care Research Program funded by the Health System Research Fund of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care are conducting a survey of primary health care practice organizations.
Each team is asked to complete the survey once for each practice site. Please pass this survey along to the most appropriate contact for each site to fill in the survey.
See the email and information sheets below for more information about the survey.

Dear colleague,
We would like to invite you to complete an online survey about your practice.
Ontario practices vary not only in their remuneration and team structure, but also in other important organizational attributes such as technical resources, approach to care delivery, tools used to support care delivery, and services offered. Studying this variation can help us understand what structures contribute to better care, in what context and for which group of patients.
The survey takes approximately 45-60 minutes to complete and can be completed by any member of the organization; although a Senior Clinical Staff member, Executive Director or Practice Manager is likely best-suited to answer the questions. A gift card is offered as a token of appreciation for your valuable contribution. The survey will be available in English only as it has not been validated in French.
The study information sheet is attached. The information sheet and online survey can also be accessed by clicking here: Primary Care Practice Organizational Survey.
