About the Recipient
Dr. Jordan Miller
Jordan Miller, PT, PhD is an Associate Professor in the School of Rehabilitation Therapy, member of the Health Services and Policy Research Institute, and Lead of the Strengthening Primary Care Research Excellence Cluster at Queen’s University. He is also a Scientist in Integrated Primary Care at Providence Care. Jordan is a health services researcher and implementation scientist whose research program has two aims: 1) To advance team-based primary care models to meet the needs of individuals and communities; and 2) To improve care for people experiencing musculoskeletal conditions and pain. Foundational to each of these aims is a commitment to partnering with patients, health professionals, and health system knowledge users to produce research that provides meaningful research evidence and implementation strategies to improve health service delivery, education, and policy.
Dr. Miller’s CIHR-awarded research, “Evaluating the implementation of team-based primary care across Canada: A multiple case study and deliberative dialogues” involves partnering with patients, primary care providers, policy makers, and other health system leaders to produce evidence that informs interprofessional primary care policy and practice. The project will provide rigorous, actionable evidence on how team-based primary care is being implemented, how different contexts influence implementation, and a set of co-developed policy options to inform the expansion and evolution of team-based primary care across Canada.
