The social and healthcare system faces numerous challenges, with primary care playing a key role in achieving universal and equitable health coverage. However, the primary care field often struggles with limited research capacity, activity, and funding.
To address these gaps, the Primary Care Academy (PCA) - a large-scale, innovative, interdisciplinary research and networking organization, encompassing then organization in the primary care field, was established and funded in 2019 by the Fund Dr. Daniel De Coninck, a charity foundation, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation, attempted to fil this gap.
The aim of this study was identifying lessons learned on the implementation and achievements of a large-scale, innovative research and network organization, specifically the PCA.
This study evaluates the PCA's development process, focusing on its key achievements and critical elements by using a mixed-method data collection approach. After 5 years of rigorous collaboration, several lessons can be drawn regarding accomplishments and process flow, particularly in terms of a shared and clear vision, governance, leadership, and organizational culture.
These lessons can inform future adaptations in the continuation of the PCA and serve as a guide for other caritative large-scale innovative initiatives.
社会和医疗保健系统面临诸多挑战，初级保健在实现全民公平的医疗覆盖方面发挥着关键作用。然而，初级保健领域常常在研究能力、活动和资金方面面临限制。
为填补这些空白，初级保健学院（PCA）——一个大规模、创新的跨学科研究与网络组织，涵盖了初级保健领域的相关组织——于2019年由慈善基金会丹尼尔·德科宁克博士基金设立并提供资金，该基金会由博杜安国王基金会管理，试图填补这一空白。
本研究的目的是总结关于一个大规模、创新的研究与网络组织，特别是PCA的实施和成就的经验教训。
本研究通过混合方法数据收集途径评估PCA的发展过程，重点关注其关键成就和关键要素。经过5年的紧密合作，可以得出一些关于成就和流程的经验教训，特别是在共同且明确的愿景、治理、领导力和组织文化方面。
这些经验教训可为PCA后续的调整提供参考，并为其他慈善性质的大规模创新举措提供指导。
