Primary care networks (PCNs) are interdisciplinary programs in a geographical area that are designed to improve patient care, team collaboration and appropriate resource allocation. They are one of government's approaches to delivering quality healthcare with finite resources. The primary objective of this study was to explore the level of perceived team effectiveness in PCNs within three former health regions in Alberta. A descriptive, cross-sectional, exploratory, semi-structured questionnaire study design was employed. Respondents identified five themes for strategies to improve team effectiveness. Although many factors and strategies were identified, more work is needed to explore the study's findings.
基层医疗网络（PCNs）是在一个地理区域内的跨学科项目，旨在改善患者护理、团队协作和合理的资源分配。它们是政府利用有限资源提供高质量医疗服务的方法之一。本研究的主要目的是探讨艾伯塔省三个前卫生区域内基层医疗网络中团队效能的感知水平。采用了描述性、横断面、探索性、半结构化问卷调查研究设计。受访者确定了提高团队效能策略的五个主题。尽管确定了许多因素和策略，但仍需要更多工作来探索该研究的结果。
