PBRNs engage clinicians in quality improvement activities and an evidence-based culture in primary care practice to improve the health of all Americans. OverviewPrimary care practice-based research networks (PBRNs) involve practicing clinicians in asking and answering clinical and organizational questions about primary health care. Recognizing the importance of this work, its ability to improve the health of all Americans, and the potential of these networks to engage clinicians in quality improvement activities and an evidence-based culture in primary care practice, AHRQ has developed its PBRN initiative.Introduction to AHRQ's PBRN initiativeFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Visit the Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) Web siteFor More InformationFor more information about AHRQ's Primary Care PBRN initiative, contact:David Meyers, MDCenter for Primary Care, Prevention, and Clinical Partnerships (CP3)Agency for Healthcare Research and QualityPhone: (301) 427-1500E-mail: david.meyers@ahrq.hhs.gov Current as of September 2012 Internet Citation: Primary Care Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN): An AHRQ Initiative.
