Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are sustained collaborations between healthcare professionals, researchers and members of the community that develop, conduct and report on research relevant to local needs. While PBRNs have traditionally been focused towards primary care practices and their patients, there has been increasing interest in how they may help facilitate healthcare integration. Yet, little is known on the ways in which PBRNs can best integrate with the broader healthcare system, in particular Advanced Health Research and Translation Centres. The overall project aim is to build a sustainable collaboration between a PBRN and an Advanced Health Research and Translation Centre to generate a research platform suitable for planning, undertaking and translating research to improve care across the healthcare continuum.
We will use a developmental evaluation design. Our iterative approach will be informed by a programme logic model and consists of: preparation work (pre-implementation assessment, literature review, community and stakeholder engagement), adaptation and building for a sustainable collaboration (strategy for recruitment and sustainment of members) and planning for network action (designing and implementing priority initiatives, monitoring and follow-up).
This project was approved by the Monash Health ethics committee (ERM Reference Number: 76281; Monash Health Ref: RES-21-0000-392L) and the Monash University Human Research ethics committee (Reference Number: 29786). Dissemination will take place via various channels, including relevant national and international committees and conferences, peer-reviewed journals and social media. Continuous dissemination to and communication with all participants in this project as well as other relevant stakeholders will help strengthen and sustain the network.
实践为基础的研究网络（PBRN）是医疗保健专业人员、研究人员和社区成员之间的持续合作，这些人员开发、进行和报告与当地需求相关的研究。虽然 PBRN 传统上专注于初级保健实践及其患者，但人们越来越关注它们如何帮助促进医疗保健整合。然而，对于 PBRN 如何与更广泛的医疗保健系统（特别是高级健康研究和转化中心）最佳整合，知之甚少。总体项目目标是在 PBRN 和高级健康研究和转化中心之间建立可持续的合作关系，以建立一个适合规划、开展和转化研究以改善整个医疗保健连续体护理的研究平台。
我们将使用发展评估设计。我们的迭代方法将由一个项目逻辑模型提供信息，包括：准备工作（实施前评估、文献综述、社区和利益相关者参与）、适应和建立可持续的合作关系（成员招募和维持战略）以及网络行动规划（设计和实施优先倡议、监测和跟进）。
该项目已获得莫纳什健康伦理委员会（ERM 参考号：76281；莫纳什健康参考号：RES-21-0000-392L）和莫纳什大学人类研究伦理委员会（参考号：29786）的批准。传播将通过各种渠道进行，包括相关的国家和国际委员会和会议、同行评议期刊和社交媒体。向该项目的所有参与者以及其他相关利益攸关方持续传播和沟通，将有助于加强和维持网络。
