The Primary Care Collaborative has received awards from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), which works with health care stakeholders – patients, caregivers, clinicians, employers, insurers and policymakers – to identify critical research questions and answer them through comparative clinical effectiveness research, or CER, focusing on outcomes important to patients.
From 2021 to 2023, the PCC was provided a Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award – (19760-PCPCC) to identify and disseminate the most relevant research tied to primary care.
This project identified important primary care patient-centered outcomes research/comparative effectiveness research and health services research results and explores different ways of engaging key stakeholders in disseminating these select, high-impact results.
An overall goal of the project is to bridge research silos within primary care and engage researchers in topics relevant to patients and clinicians.
As a product of this project, in order to implement the project’s communication strategy to spread relevant health services and clinical research to the primary care community, the PCC has created a resource “hub” on its website. The PCC hopes that the research identified and related resources created in this project will effectively guide future primary care research, expedite uptake of evidence-based best practices, help patients and other stakeholders make informed health care decisions, including in their use of primary care services, and inform policymakers.
The following resources were gathered as part of the PCC’s Bridging the Gap in Primary Care Research project, which is designed to curate a select number of seminal primary care articles and communicate them broadly. The PCC’s goal is to inform and shape the thinking of practice and policy leaders with respect to primary care clinical and health services research.
The PCC has assembled this set of 24 primary care health services research (HSR) and primary care patient-centered outcomes research/comparative effectiveness research (clinical) articles through the work of a Research Dissemination Workgroup (RDWG) and our research partner, the North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG). The PCC selected 12 clinical and 12 health services research articles for the final list.
The 24 articles can be filtered based on the Shared Principles of Primary Care
, which characterize advanced primary care, and by article type. Click on the title of the article to go to the full abstract and a link to the original publication. Some of the articles require an academic credential or paid subscription to the journal in which they were published. You can search for free, full-text versions of the articles using PubMed.
