INPRACTICE: Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN)

Overview

The mission of the AdventHealth Research Institute (AHRI) is to expedite groundbreaking and globally recognized whole-person healthcare research that leverages the scale and diversity of our population. Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) draw on the experience and insight of practicing clinicians to identify and frame research questions whose answers can improve the practice of primary care. By linking these questions with rigorous research methods, PBRNs produce research findings that are immediately relevant to the primary care clinician and more easily translated into everyday practice.
