A REGIONAL, COMMUNITY-HEALTH CENTER PBRN

研究目的：评估区域实践研究网络的数据收集能力，并计划扩大网络内的研究能力。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进行协作，以实践为基础的研究网络。这些健康中心为大约150万医疗服务不足的人提供服务（75%没有保险或接受医疗补助，80%贫困或接近贫困，56%是有色人种）。该网络的重点是改善与哮喘和高血压等高影响、高差距疾病有关的健康成果。这一规划赠款将使该网络能够评估向更高层次的研究迈进所需的资源和战略，特别是在从各种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.
