Changing primary care capacity in Canada: protocol for a cross-provincial mixed methods study
Research ethics board (REB) approval for the qualitative study has been provided by Research Ethics BC, with subsequent approvals from Horizon Health Network, Nova Scotia Health, University of Manitoba and University of Ottawa. REB approval for analysis of linked administrative data was obtained from the Nova Scotia Health REB, Research Ethics BC, University of Manitoba and University of New Brunswick. Our findings will support primary care capacity planning to equitably meet the needs of a growing and ageing population.
