ABSTRACT:
Practice-based research networks (PBRN) seek to improve healthcare
through the use of research, quality improvement, and collaborative learning.
When used by nontraditional models of care such as the nurse managed healthcare
center (NMHC), PBRNs can be incorporated into successful quality improvement
(QI) programs. UT Health Services is a NMHC utilizing a PBRN as one component
of a comprehensive QI program in an effort to deliver high quality healthcare.
