Idaho Network for Supporting Practice, Innovation, Research, and Education (INSPIRE)
INSPIRE is a Practice-based Research and Learning Network (PBRN) being developed in Idaho. A PBRN is a network of healthcare clinicians, community members, and researchers that work together to improve patient care.
Why does Idaho need INSPIRE?
- Idaho is a unique state with its own health care challenges and opportunities, but most research is conducted at large academic health centers outside of Idaho
- INSPIRE would bring real-world, Idaho clinics into quality improvement and research – conducting projects that help our communities
