Knowledge Processes within Saskatchewan's Multi-Disciplinary

Primary Health Care Teams

​

The evolving order of Saskatchewan’s health care system involves a set of concurrent reforms to service delivery, one being the development of multi-disciplinary teams and the other, the introduction of a new professional group, Nurse Practitioners. In this project, I explored how knowledge exchange of the multi-disciplinary teams is actually done within the context of their collective clinical decision-making.  From this research, I bring a theoretical understanding from other projects of the knowledge exchange as a social process mediated by material conditions, norms, and values.
