Members of the PBRNs were eligible to submit research published within the past five years. The research examined innovative methods to increase the appropriate use of vaccines including: providing easier access, automated patient notification systems, automated reminders for providers and team-based care models.

AHRQ’s PBRNs are groups of primary care clinicians and practices working together to answer community-based health care questions and translate research findings into practice. PBRNs engage clinicians in quality improvement activities and an evidence-based culture in primary care practice to improve the health of all Americans.
