A REGIONAL, COMMUNITY-HEALTH CENTER PBRN

研究目的：评估一个基于实践的区域研究网络的数据收集能力，并规划在该网络内扩大研究能力。项目描述：东南地区临床医生网络在美国东南部的社区卫生中心开展协作、基于实践的研究网络。这些医疗中心为大约150万医疗服务不足的人提供服务（75%没有保险或有医疗补助，80%是穷人或接近穷人，56%是有色人种）。该网络的重点是改善与哮喘和高血压等影响大、差异大的疾病有关的健康结果。这项规划赠款将使该网络能够评估提高研究水平所需的资源和战略，特别是在从广泛不同的信息系统收集数据方面。

Research Aim: To assess the data collection capabilities of a regional practice-based research network, and to plan for expanding research capacity within the network. Project Description: The Southeast Regional Clinicians' Network undertakes collaborative, practice-based research network in the community health centers of the southeastern United States. These health centers serve roughly 1.5 million persons who are medically underserved (75% either uninsured or on Medicaid, 80% poor or near-poor, and 56% are persons of color). The network has concentrated on improving health outcomes related to high- impact, high-disparity conditions such as asthma and hypertension. This planning grant will allow the network to assess the resources and strategies needed to move to a more sophisticated level of research, particularly in the area of data collection from widely varying information systems.
