Title
Southern Primary-care Urban Research Network
Description
SPUR-Net is directed by an Executive Committee composed of representatives from each of the constituent health-care organizations and is supported by funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
SPUR-Net’s mission is to improve the quality of health care in primary care settings. Clinician-members of SPUR-Net’s constituent organizations engage in research projects that seek to identify and solve problems commonly encountered in their practices. SPUR-Net provides the research infrastructure and methodological expertise needed to complete the projects. The projects are designed to maximize the gathering of data, to minimize additional paperwork, and to avoid disruption of patient services in the clinics.
Through its various research projects, SPUR-Net strives to enhance the professional and academic vitality of primary care practices. Methods for gathering and accumulating research data between several clinic sites are being developed, and means for most effectively completing short-cycle research projects are being explored. Meaningful research results will be disseminated to participating clinicians as rapidly as possible and will be published in appropriate medical journals.
