Tools and Resources

QIIP assists Primary Healthcare teams by preparing or disseminating tools and resources to assist them in their work and by facilitating an exchange of information and resources between teams. There are three ways we will do this, in addition to posting the videos of the presentations at LS1 of the QIIP collaborative.

1) Circulating resources prepared by Primary Healthcare Teams

A central tenet of QIIP has been the concept of Primary Healthcare Teams learning from and supporting each other. Your team may have produced materials that may be helpful to another team - such as a form, a patient handout, a list of useful resources, or you have a description of an innovative program you developed that may save colleagues in another team time and energy as they develop a similar initiative. If so, please forward it to Pierrette and we will be happy to post it on our innovation exchange page.

2) Providing links to resources

Resources of interest to FHTs have been grouped under the following headings:

Improvement Methods and Tools

Team Development and Organizational Functioning


Chronic Disease Prevention and Management

Self-Management Support and Education

Health Promotion and Illness Prevention


Improving Access and Office Efficiences

Information Technology and Management / Using your EMR


Evaluation, Measurement and Needs Assessment


Many additional resources for health professionals and patients can be found on the Ontario MD site. This site requires registration, but physicians can register all staff working in their team.

3) Developing toolkits for Primary Healthcare Teams

QIIP has produced a series of toolkits posted here, that cover:

  • Working with community partners
  • Conducting a needs assessment
  • HR and governance
  • Team development
  • Measurement and evaluation
