Primary Care Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN)

Overview

Primary 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.
