Narrative Reports to Monitor and Evaluate the Integration of Pharmacists Into Family Practice Settings
Kevin Pottie, MD, CCFP, MClSc, FCFP , and colleagues
Background This article describes a practical method for qualitative research-the narrative report-and its role in evaluating a project involving the integration of pharmacists into group family practices.
What This Study Found Pharmacists' monthly narrative reports allowed the research team to document early learning from the project and make adjustments as needed. The reports helped the research team stay in tune with challenges that developed, helped build a sense of shared experience among participants, and facilitated the sharing of innovations.
Implications
- Narrative reports can serve as a qualitative tool to track and evaluate the early stages of a project in an evolving primary health care team.
