BACKGROUND: Interprofessional primary care teams (IPCTs) work together to enhance care. Despite evidence on the benefits of IPCTs, implementation remains challenging.

METHODS: Healthcare providers and staff of IPCTs were invited to complete an online survey to identify barriers and enablers, and the degree to which each item impacted the functioning of their team. Top ranked items were identified using the sum of frequency x impact for each response. A virtual knowledge sharing event was held to …

Purpose
Current and predicted continued dramatic increases in international migration and ethnocultural diversity of older adult cohorts pose challenges for health care services. Review studies on ethnoculturally diverse older adults and health care show a lack of focus on their service use experiences.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors applied a seven-phase method of meta-ethnography to guide the review. The authors conducted two literature searches (April 2018 and June 2020) in MEDLINE, CINAHL, …

Background
Obesity is a chronic, complex and multifactorial disease with the prevalence increasing in North American adults. Novel AOMs are demonstrating weight loss results comparable to bariatric surgery when used effectively. As the gatekeepers to AOMs, primary care providers can play a key role in obesity management through exploring safe prescribing measures employed in primary care.
Objectives
This review will systematically map the existing literature on prescribing measures for AOMs to determine the extent, range, and nature of literature available on the measures utilized by PCPs when prescribing AOMs in North America.
Methods
One independent reviewer conducted a review using …
