ABSTRACT
In Canada, there is no single source of data describing the number, distribution and work of family physicians (FPs). This study examines the state of national and provincial/territorial data sources for FPs in comparison with the College of Family Physicians of Canada's Family Medicine Professional Profile. Data sources were assessed through key informant interviews and document analysis. Findings indicate that there is significant variability on what is measured across jurisdictions, resulting in comparability challenges. A measurement framework that accurately describes the number, distribution and work of FPs with a pan-Canadian data collection strategy is urgently needed for effective health human resource planning.
