Team-based care Evaluation and Adoption Model (TEAM) Framework: Supporting the comprehensive evaluation of primary care transformation over time.

Objective: To introduce the new Team-based care Evaluation and Adoption Model (TEAM) Framework.

Quality Of Evidence: The initial TEAM Framework was derived from a series of reviews and consultations with academic and clinical experts. In a parallel process, team-based primary and community care evaluation in Canada was assessed through a structured review of academic literature, followed by a review of policy literature of existing primary care evaluation frameworks.

Main Message: The review of academic articles alongside an analysis of policy documents and existing evaluation frameworks in primary care resulted in the development of the 10-dimension TEAM Framework.

Conclusion: Primary care transformation requires evaluation over time. The TEAM Framework provides a comprehensive framework for assessing evidence needed to support short- and long-term actionable improvements for team-based primary and community care in Canada. This framework will inform the development of an evaluation tool kit for primary care teams.
