- Title
Practice-Based Research--"Blue Highways" on the NIH Roadmap.
- Authors
Westfall, John M.; Mold, James; Fagnan, Lyle
- Abstract
This article describes the gap between clinical research and the application of that research at primary care centers. The author argues that not only does it take years for advancements to trickle down through the health care industry but often what is effective in a clinical setting is not applicable in a day-to-day practice. He suggests expanding practice-based research, where, instead of in a lab, research is performed in the office. This facilitates identifying problems in everyday care and determining the efficacy of treatments.
