What is a Practice-Based Research Network?

An organization of community clinicians who work together with researchers to answer meaningful questions that will improve patient care

The South Texas Ambulatory Research Network (STARNet)

• MISSION:– to create and disseminate new knowledge for community

primary care physicians that will improve the health of our patients here in South Texas

• OBJECTIVES:– conduct studies and projects in the clinics and

communities of STARNet members

– link community primary care clinics to resources

– create a community of learning among STARNet members and their communities in South Texas

"I have had only positive comments from patients who are usually excited and pleased to be able to be a part of the studies. Patients don't just cooperate, they are enthusiastic participants. Many of our patients are impressed that their doctor's office is involved in medical research and that they can share in that.”

"The projects are interesting and designed to be an asset to the daily practice function. The studies have never been a problem; in fact, they do, on occasion, give rise to questions from patients that lead to important doctor-patient interactions. “

"STARNet is a part of my practice where everyone wins, the patient, the practice, and the specialty of Family Practice. I believe much of the future evidence establishing the value of primary care, in general, and family practice, specifically, will grow out of office-based medical research. So being involved in STARNet is my way of helping to insure a future that includes healthy patients, healthy practices, and a healthy future for family medicine.”
