REC Webinar – Practice Based Research Networks: What are they? How can they be useful? Lessons Learned

Identifying ways to collect data from multiple clinics is essential to efforts to learn about best evidence-based practices across settings and disseminate the findings. This talk will describe what Practice Based Research Networks are and how they assist providers and researchers in their efforts to identify best evidence-based practices. We will share our lessons learned from being a member of a PBRN and experiences within CFHA when a research network existed. We will also identify issues to address if such a network is to be sustainable. Finally, we will discuss interest and opportunities for the CFHA’s REC members to support members’ engagement with a PBRN or other ideas on how we can collectively join our efforts to identify best practices.
