The Kentucky Ambulatory Network (KAN)
is a
primary care practice-based research network
devoted to producing knowledge useful to
primary care physicians and their patients.
KAN is a
collaborative effort involving primary care
physicians, the University of Kentucky,
the University of Louisville, and the
Kentucky Academy of Family Physicians.
Its members include physicians, other
primary care practitioners, scientists, and
health policy experts,
throughout Kentucky and its bordering
communities.
KAN Mission
KAN
seeks to enhance the ability of
office-based clinicians to deliver
high-quality primary health care to
their patients through:
1. Collaborative
research conducted in primary care
practices
2. Translation of
research into primary care practices
KAN
will emphasize the prevention and
management of common health problems in
Kentucky, and their broader
implications.
