Practice Based Research Network

By becoming a partner of the Athletic Training Practice Based Research Network you will help to develop and expand our geographically diverse PBRN and will enjoy several distinct benefits to assist you and/or your clinical faculty and students in providing high quality evidence-based healthcare services using information technology.

Benefits to Participants

• Participants will be provided with a license (annual renewal, estimated cost = $200/year) to the CORE-AT web-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and injury surveillance system. This is a fully functional EMR that can be used to securely document and store medical data for patient care. Learn more about the CORE-AT EMR
• Quarterly reports that are clinician and/or clinical practice site specific that include:
• Practice characteristic summaries (Number of patients seen, Duration of care, Number of Visits, Diagnostic codes, Treatment codes, etc).
• Cost of care estimates (Data detailing total costs of treatments provided, average cost of care per patient, etc)
• Healthcare Outcomes / Health-Related Quality of Life Impact summaries (Data detailing how sport-related injuries are impacting your patients, how your treatments are impacting patient outcomes, the impact of injury and your care on patients health-related quality life)
• Annual summaries providing comparative data to other clinical practice sites within the PBRN.
• Opportunities to initiate clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of the care you are providing.
• On-line access to educational resources through the CORE-AT website.
• Engage in partnerships between academic centers and community-based clinicians.
• Collaborate with athletic trainers in measuring clinical outcomes and injury surveillance to assess the effectiveness of athletic training services in the secondary school.
• Access to reports aimed to improve quality of care based upon analyses of clinical outcomes reported through the Practice Based Research Network. A primary goal is to provide participating clinicians with summaries of what treatments are producing the best clinical outcomes in patients.
• Some sites will be eligible to receive a Netbook mobile computer and a broadband mobile card with unlimited data transfer at NO COST. The number of eligible sites will be limited based upon available funding. Please see below for more information.
