Evidence and Practice-Based Research Network Overview
The mission of the AdventHealth Research Institute is to expedite groundbreaking and globally recognized whole-person health care 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 primary care practice. By linking these questions with rigorous research methods, PBRNs produce research findings immediately relevant to the primary care clinician and more easily translated into everyday, evidence-based practice.
Vision, Mission and Strategy
With AdventHealth as a national leader among health care systems’ primary care practice-based research networks (PBRNs), we will collaborate broadly, executing research studies to advance clinical evidence and improve health care outcomes nationwide.
Our mission is to improve our patients’ health and outcomes by conducting research in primary care settings, leveraging our organization’s volume, diversity and resources and the skills, insights and dedication of our providers.
The AdventHealth PBRN will be a multidisciplinary, collaborative unit supporting the needs of primary care providers, graduate medical education, medical school faculty and external partners as they design, execute, analyze and disseminate research studies. The PBRN will promote continuous learning, academic achievement and scientific research.
