Developing robust practice-based research network (PBRN) infrastructures is crucial for primary care research. Proper support enhances the success of PBRN studies, leading to valuable, generalizable knowledge.

Area of Science:

  • Primary Care Research
  • Health Services Research
  • Network Science

Background:

  • Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are fundamental to primary care research.
  • PBRN infrastructures exhibit significant variability despite common core elements.
  • This study provides recommendations for developing and supporting PBRN infrastructures to improve research outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline essential and desirable infrastructure components for PBRNs.
  • To discuss the challenges and costs associated with sustaining PBRN infrastructure.
  • To guide PBRNs in configuring infrastructure aligned with their research missions.

Main Methods:

  • Information synthesized from published literature.
  • Data from the 2003 PBRN Resource Center survey.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Insights derived from PBRN experiences and expert discussions.

    • Main Results:

    • PBRN research encompasses observational studies, clinical trials, and large-scale interventions.
    • Essential infrastructure includes rosters, leadership, coordinators, communication, and regulatory compliance.
    • Desirable but costly elements include EMRs, databases, mentoring, and training programs.
    • Estimated annual infrastructure costs range from $69,700 to $287,600.

    Conclusions:

    • Well-supported PBRN infrastructures facilitate diverse, high-impact research.
    • Increased and consistent infrastructure support can accelerate the generation of pragmatic knowledge.
    • This knowledge is vital for understudied populations, settings, and health issues.
