The Kentucky
Ambulatory Network was established
almost 9 years ago. KAN members
have completed a broad array of
studies involving multiple topics
of interest to primary care practitioners
and researchers. Widening recognition
of the importance of community engagement
to the advancement of health care
in the United States has led to
new opportunities for KAN and other
practice-based research networks.

Economic upheavals
of past year have led to increased
levels of funding and/or a change
in funding priorities for agencies
in the US Dept. of Health and Human
Services. Panel members will distribute
and discuss up-to-date information
on pertinent grant opportunities
available through the National Institutes
of Health, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, the Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality
and the health Resources and Services
Administration.
High quality
care for Kentuckians insured by
Medicaid depends upon effective
prevention and management of chronic
conditions such as asthma and diabetes.
Commissioner Johnson will discuss
potential opportunities for collaborative
research to elucidate the best methods
for helping a growing Medicaid population
that is at high risk for (preventable)
serious illness and disability from
chronic disease.

The adoption
of electronic medical records (EMRs)
into primary care practices is expected
to accelerate rapidly due to new
fiscal pressures and opportunities,
but major challenges remain for
using these tools for practice-based
quality improvement (QI) and/or
for clinical research. We will discuss
methods and challenges for helping
community-based practices extract
data from their EMRs for QI, research,
and performance indicator reporting
for improved reimbursement.
Efforts to increase
colorectal cancer screening in primary
care practices are challenged by
many factors related to the competing
demands of a busy clinical practice.
Such competing demands may even
block participation in interventions
that are intended to help practices
increase screening. We will present
and discuss a colorectal cancer
screening intervention that has
been delivered using academic detailing
and has successfully reached rural
primary care practices in eastern
Kentucky.

KAN members
and other practitioners have told
about the heavy burden that substance
abuse, including prescription drug
abuse, places on their practices
and their patients. KAN has a new
opportunity to address the evaluation
and management of substance abuse
among patients seen in primary care
practices, through practice-based
research. The purpose of this session
is to help shape the agenda for
a line of research that we hope
to start later in 2009.

Public Health
and Primary Care share many core
values, but much of their potential
for mutually-beneficial cooperation
has not been realized. Renewed and
growing interest in the health of
populations and communities has
led to new opportunities for such
collaboration. The Kentucky Public
Health Research Network (KPHReN)
was created in 2008, with support
from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
KPHReN was founded on the principle
of cooperation with the primary
care community. In this session
we will discuss ideas for linking
KAN with KPHReN for research of
mutual interest.
