Community pharmacy practice-based research networks (CP PBRNs) are a relatively new arena for pharmacists. While some lessons may be gleaned from primary care PBRNs, the experiences of CP PBRNs have much to offer the profession in terms of organization and practice. In 2012, we reported on our early experiences developing the Medication Safety Research Network of Indiana (Rx-SafeNet) after establishing the Network in 2010. Over the past 3 years, our CP PBRN of approximately 180 members has managed further growth by revisiting policies and procedures, maintaining CP PBRN member relationships, and preparing for financial sustainability. We look forward to furthering our CP PBRN projects in the coming years and collaborating with other CP PBRNs to enhance medication safety in Indiana and beyond.
基于社区药房实践的研究网络(CP PBRNs)对药剂师来说是一个相对较新的领域。虽然可以从初级保健PBRNs中吸取一些经验教训,但CP PBRNs的经验在组织和实践方面为该行业提供了很多。2012年,我们在2010年建立印第安纳州药物安全研究网络(Rx-SafeNet)后报告了我们早期的发展经验。在过去的3年里,我们这个约有180名成员的CP PBRN通过重新审视政策和程序、维护CP PBRN成员关系以及为财务可持续性做准备,实现了进一步的发展。我们期待在未来几年推进我们的CP PBRN项目,并与其他CP PBRNs合作,以提高印第安纳州及其他地区的用药安全性。
