APBRN

The Atlantic Practice Based Research Network (APBRN) is a network of primary care providers in Newfoundland and Labrador who collaborate with the Primary Healthcare Research Unit (PHRU) of Memorial University in the conduct of clinical and health services research in primary care. Dozens of physicians, nurses and policy makers have participated with PHRU-APBRN on research projects since APBRN’s inception in 2005 and many APBRN members also contribute their EMR data to CPCSSN. Newfoundland and Labrador recently rolled out a provincially supported EMR, and all CPCSSN sentinels in this province switched to this new EMR. APBRN is therefore arranging to collect data from this new EMR.
