Rating: 5.0/5 (2 votes cast)

Source: Clinical Directors Network, Inc.

Type: Audio/video capture (mp4; 14min in duration)

Level: Intermediate

Description: This session aims to capture a real-world example of a collaborative, community-engaged research partnership. We hope that viewers are able to use these examples as a model in developing their own Community-Based Participatory Research (CPBR) projects.

The featured CBPR Project is entitled “Establishing a Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) Surveillance Network”, funded by: The Rockefeller University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS); Pilot Grant and Administrative Supplement (NIH-NCATS Grant # 8-UL1-TR000043). This project is a collaboration between the Rockefeller University, multiple Community Health Centers (Urban health Plan, Manhattan Physicians Group 125th Street, Open Door Family Health Center, Hudson River Health Care, Brookdale Family Care Center, and Manhattan Physicians Group 95th Street), and multiple Practice Based Research Networks (Alliance of Chicago, Clinical Directors Network, Inc. of New York City and STARNet, San Antonio Texas). All members are engaged and participate onsite or virtually.

Dr. Jonathan N. Tobin President and CEO of Clinical Directors Network, Inc. leads a discussion about patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR). He talks about the definition of PCOR, how PCOR relates to clinical outcomes, and engages the group in discussion about how to incorporate patient-centered outcomes into the CA-MRSA research project. CHC are engaged in exploring outcomes to investigate taken directly from their patient’s experiences at the FQHC. This is used to drive the research development process.
