Developing a practice-based research network (PBRN) requires a shared vision, strong leadership, clinician engagement, and effective data management. Future success depends on adapting partnerships and securing innovative funding to bridge research and practice gaps.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Primary Care Research
- Practice-Based Research Networks
Background:
- A 5-year-old practice-based research network (PBRN) underwent strategic planning to assess development and identify vision-reality gaps.
- Reflections offer insights for PBRN development in evolving healthcare landscapes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the progress of a PBRN against its original vision.
- To identify key factors and challenges in PBRN development and operation.
Main Methods:
- Strategic planning process involving self-reflection and assessment of the PBRN's trajectory.
- Analysis of experiences in leadership, clinician engagement, and data management.
Main Results:
- Essential elements for success include a shared vision, strong leadership, clinician engagement, and robust data handling (EHRs, data protection).
- Gaps persist between the PBRN's vision and current achievements, necessitating creative solutions.
Conclusions:
- Future PBRN development requires emphasis on timely, relevant research integrated into practice.
- Broader partnerships involving clinicians, researchers, and quality improvement experts are crucial.
- Addressing remaining gaps may involve novel partnerships and non-traditional funding strategies.
