You may have seen or heard that due to a grant from AHRQ, we are excited to be hosting the 8th annual Practice Based Research Network Conference.
We’re busy putting together two days of sessions that not only address the science of research and operation of PBRNs, but also provide for the presentation of studies focusing on practice improvement, behavioral health, diagnosis and treatment issues encountered in primary care practice, and the efficacy of interventions and prevention modalities.
Joe V. Selby, MD, MPH, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute’s (PCORI) Executive Director will be the first plenary speaker. He’ll discuss primary care quality improvement via collaborative partnerships and conducting research that not only informs service delivery but also facilitates sustainable quality improvement at the practice and systems level.
We have also put together an exciting plenary panel featuring Larry Green, MD, Jon Kerner, PhD, Jack Westfall, MD, MPH, and James W. Mold, MD, MPH. The panelists will give a brief overview of the IOM Report on the intersection between Public Health and Primary Care with each panelist presenting examples on how to make the interface.
We hope you’ll join us. Registration is open at www.napcrg.org.
