Findings Gathered at the Patient Reported Indicator Surveys (PaRIS) OECD Strategic Planning Meeting 2024
The report, Patient-Reported Indicators Methods of Data Collection and Strategies to Support Data Gathering, summarizes the proceedings of the PaRIS OECD strategic meeting representing diverse perspectives from patients, providers, policymakers and researchers with the aims:
- Provide insights into the current state of primary care to support the use of patient-reported measures
- Provide recommendations to support the implementation of patient reported measures into practice
- Offer a roadmap and next steps to improve the use of patient reported measures in primary care settings
Lessons learned about engagement from the PaRIS OECD project
Developed by the PaRIS Research Project team, this infographic highlights lessons learned throughout recruitment and provider and patient engagement.
Certificate Program in Practice-Based Research Methods
A practice-based research network (PBRN) is a group of ambulatory practices devoted principally to the primary care of patients and affiliated in their mission to investigate questions related to community-based practice and to improve the quality of primary care. PBRNs draw on the experience and insight of practicing clinicians to identify and frame research questions whose answers can improve the practice of primary care. By linking these questions with rigorous methods, PBRNs produce research and quality improvement findings that are relevant to clinicians and readily translated into everyday practice.
The Certificate Program in Practice-Based Research Methods seeks to develop a new generation of independent investigators within the PBRN community. The program will provide training in concepts, skills, and methods for conducting practice-based research and building PBRNs. Click here to learn more.

Toolkit from the College of Family Physicians of Canada
This advocacy toolkit supports Chapters, family medicine departments, and regional partners to advocate for practice facilitation support and foster collaboration with provincial governments and organizations.
Guide from the Unité de soutien SRAP du Québec
This practical guide addresses many aspects of participatory research that are specific to organizational participatory research (OPR). It can be used by the various partners and groups in an organizational participatory research project to assess their partnership and continually improve it.
