Description
The Northern New England CO-OP Practice and Community Based Research Network (NNE CO-OP PCBRN) is sponsored by the Department of Community & Family Medicine at Dartmouth Health and in collaboration with the University of Vermont, and Maine Medical Center. As a voluntary, cooperative network of independent clinicians (community-based), The CO-OP has helped develop and refine a model for rapidly assessing and improving care. CO-OP members collaborate with academic researchers to improve the outcomes focus of care and develop methods that work in busy community-practice settings. The CO-OP demonstrates how to integrate the measurement of patient values, clinical improvement strategies, and research objectives into day-to-day healthcare delivery.
Goals
The goals of the NNE CO-OP PCBRN are to:
- Provide professional stimulation and collegial communication and interaction among physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and Ph.D. researchers
- Conduct cooperative research in primary care
- Improve primary care and family medicine services and office management techniques
- Sponsor continuing education and training for health professionals
