Abstract

Aim: Since 2007, a longitudinal evaluation of the Elmore Primary Health Service (EPHS), as a singleentry point, comprehensive, multidisciplinary rural primary health care service, has been undertaken.
This study, the first Australian study of its kind, assesses the extent to which the presence of research activity has fostered a research culture which contributes towards improved service performance, capacity building within its workforce, and health improvements for the community.
