OKPRN has recently joined the electronic
Primary Care Research Network (ePCRN) project that allows primary care practices
to link with researchers conducting clinical research anywhere in the United States.
This program is funded by the Roadmap Initiative of the National Institutes of Health,
and administered by the Federation of Practice Based Research Networks (FPBRN).
Integrating basic and clinical research, the ePCRN is one of the most promising
infrastructure developments in primary care. The principal aim of the ePCRN project is to enable the development of an electronic infrastructure that facilitates the recruitment of subjects and the performance of RCTs in primary care practices anywhere in the United States, and that promotes the rapid integration of new research findings into primary care. ePCRN provides a web-portal that enables primary care practices to link with researchers in academic centers or the NIH to facilitate recruitment, entry, and follow-up of multidisciplinary randomized controlled trials; to establish a clinic-based registry in primary care using distributed database technology in order to enhance the process of clinical trials recruitment and the translation of research findings into practice. | |||
