Canadian Primary Care Research Network (CPCRN)

The Canadian Primary Care Research Network (CPCRN) of the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) is an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral network that contributes to knowledge and solution-based innovations in primary health care delivery. The goal of CPCRN is to develop and maintain practice-based learning research networks (PBRNs) and a primary care information system to facilitate research and dissemination of innovations across Canada. CPCRN aims to create a pan-Canadian platform of learning health systems in primary care. This platform will be supported by patient-centred, practice-based research. The goal of this platform is to optimize health care spending and improve the health of the population and the experience of patients and providers.
