“…We evaluated 37 PBRNs from the USA, 15 from the UK, 10 from Australia, 4 from Belgium (of which 2 were pilot projects), 6 from the Netherlands, 3 from Ireland, 2 from Switzerland, 2 from New Zealand, 2 from Canada, and 1 PBRN from Finland, Germany, Italy, Singapore, South Africa, and Sweden. ASPN and e-PCRN were binational and were established with contributors from the USA/Canada, [35][36][37] and USA/UK, 23,[38][39][40] respectively and 4 were international networks. [41][42][43][44][45] PBRNs could be characterized as local, regional, statewide, interstate, national, or international.…”

Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) have developed dynamically across the world, paralleling the emergence of the primary care discipline. While this review focuses on the internal environment of PBRNs, the complete framework will be presented incrementally in future publications.Methods: We conducted a scoping review of the published and gray literature. Electronic databases, including MEDLINE (PubMed), OVID, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Scopus, and SAGE Premier, were searched for publications between January 1, 1965 and December 31, 2020 for English-language articles. Rigorous inclusion/exclusion criteria were implemented to identify relevant publications, and inductive thematic analysis was applied to elucidate key elements, subthemes, and themes. Social network theory was used to synthesize findings.Results: A total of 229 publications described the establishment of 93 PBRNs in 15 countries that met the inclusion criteria. The overall framework yielded 3 main themes, 12 subthemes, and 57 key elements. Key PBRN activities included relationship building between academia and practitioners and development of a learning environment through multidirectional communication.Conclusions: PBRNs across many countries contributed significantly to shaping the landscape of primary health care and became an integral part of it. Many common features within the sphere of PBRNs can be identified that seem to promote their establishment across the world.

“…Some researchers have considered the electronic data capture as the most valuable form for technology to provide significant benefits over existing manual methods in relation to data quality, performance, productivity and costs in clinical trial management [Wang et al, 2003;Marks, 2004]. Electronic data capture has been replacing more and more the conventional handwritten capture in clinical trials [Fontaine et al, 2007;Eisenstein et al, 2008;Nahm et al, 2008;Ene-Iordache et al, 2009].…”

The Belgian National Institute of Health Insurance is implementing an oral health data registration and surveillance system. This study aimed to develop and validate a system of electronic data capture for oral health surveys at a national level – Oral Survey-B – and to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the electronic system in comparison with the traditional handwritten data capture. Six series of full-mouth recordings simulating the clinical examination of 6 patients were set up in a Powerpoint presentation. The validation was undertaken by 52 general practitioners. A randomized one-period crossover design was used with two formats of data capture, i.e. electronic followed by handwritten or handwritten followed by electronic system. Further, 6 benchmarked handwritten forms were transferred to the electronic format. For the electronic data capture, 86.5% of the practitioners had a correct completion rate of ≧95%. The corresponding value for the handwritten data capture and transfer was 78.8% (p = 0.25, McNemar test). The overall accuracy of forms without any error was 73.4% for the electronic and 62.5% for the handwritten data capture (p < 0.001, signed-rank test). Significantly lower percentages of errors and less time were observed for the electronic data capture (p < 0.001, signed-rank test). Practitioners considered the electronic data capture as being much more difficult to carry out (p < 0.001). As information technology has turned into an ever more necessary working tool in epidemiology, there should be an important potential for uptake of further improvements in electronic data capture in the future.

PURPOSEThe principal goal of the electronic Primary Care Research Network (ePCRN) is to enable the development of an electronic infrastructure to support clinical research activities in primary care practice-based research networks (PBRNs). We describe the model that the ePCRN developed to enhance the growth and to expand the reach of PBRN research.METHODS Use cases and activity diagrams were developed from interviews with key informants from 11 PBRNs from the United States and United Kingdom. Discrete functions were identifi ed and aggregated into logical components. Interaction diagrams were created, and an overall composite diagram was constructed describing the proposed software behavior. Software for each component was written and aggregated, and the resulting prototype application was pilot tested for feasibility. A practical model was then created by separating application activities into distinct software packages based on existing PBRN business rules, hardware requirements, network requirements, and security concerns. RESULTSWe present an information architecture that provides for essential interactions, activities, data fl ows, and structural elements necessary for providing support for PBRN translational research activities. The model describes research information exchange between investigators and clusters of independent data sites supported by a contracted research director. The model was designed to support recruitment for clinical trials, collection of aggregated anonymous data, and retrieval of identifi able data from previously consented patients across hundreds of practices. CONCLUSIONSThe proposed model advances our understanding of the fundamental roles and activities of PBRNs and defi nes the information exchange commonly used by PBRNs to successfully engage community health care clinicians in translational research activities. By describing the network architecture in a language familiar to that used by software developers, the model provides an important foundation for the development of electronic support for essential PBRN research activities.
