National Network Infrastructure Support and Pilor Study

描述（由申请人提供）：获得第一类和第二类资金作为本补助金申请的一部分的长期目标是提高AAFP国家研究网络的能力，在初级保健环境中进行临床重要性的研究，传播和转化研究成果和新的科学知识付诸实践，并评估初级保健实践的过程和结果的变化。 第一类网络基础设施支持资金的具体目标：1.通过招募少数族裔医生和其他为这些患者群体提供服务的医生，将少数族裔和服务不足的患者群体在网络患者群体中的代表性提高到至少40- 50%，并可用于网络研究; 2.开发一个基于网络的调查系统，以提高网络快速收集和分析研究数据的能力;制定培训课程，并培训与国家研究网络中的医生合作的所有研究协调员。 第二类试点研究资助的具体目标：1.描述和估计在一周的密集监测期间，医生和办公室工作人员在家庭诊所检测到的测试处理错误率; 2.调查这些错误的原因和后果，3。生成有关干预措施的假设，以避免初级保健实践中的实验室和成像处理错误，我们将在随后的研究中进行测试。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of obtaining both Category I and Category II funding as part of this grant application is to enhance the capacity of the AAFP National Research Network to conduct research of clinical importance in primary care settings, disseminate and translate research findings and new scientific knowledge into practice, and assess the changes in the processes and outcomes of primary care practice. Specific Aims for Category I Funding for Network Infrastructure Support: 1. To increase the representation of minority and underserved patient populations in Network patient populations and available to Network studies to a minimum of 40-50 percent by recruiting minority physicians and other physicians serving these patient populations; 2. To develop a web-based survey system that will enhance the Network's capabilities to rapidly collect and analyze study data and, 3. To develop a training curriculum and train all study coordinators working with physicians in the National Research Network. Specific Aims for Category II Funding for a pilot study: 1. To describe and estimate rates of Test Processing Errors detected in family practice offices by physicians and office staff during intensive one-week monitoring periods; 2. To investigate the causes and consequences of these errors and, 3. To generate hypotheses about interventions to avert laboratory and imaging processing errors in primary care practices, which we will test in subsequent studies.
