Theme | Key concepts |
---|---|
Theme 1. Research with relevance and benefits to clinics and provider’s patient population | • Clinicians motivation for getting involved with research linked to relevant clinical research studies for patient conditions (i.e. Diabetes, Hypertension) and practice environments |
Theme 2. Difficulties of engaging in research with existing patient care demands | • Barriers to research involvement: • Challenges starting research studies • Consequences of time spent on research versus patient care • Substantial pressure on clinicians to maximize the number of patients seen in their practices (“practice efficiency model”) mismatch between clinician reality of integrating research into practice environments. |
Theme 3. Clear and continuous two-way communication about research, coordinated with provider and clinic needs | • Clear communication and collaboration as key to setting the tone of a research relationship often related to logistical support of running a clinical practice. |
Theme 4. Tailored compensation approaches meet provider preferences | • Different compensation models for research involvement depended on the individual, their role, and their practice model. |
Theme 5. Increasing clinician awareness about Clinical Data Research Networks (CDRNs) | • Governance roles and opportunities available in a CDRN, (i.e. who can and should be involved in network governance, time demands of different types of governance involvement, and what CDRN governance means) was not well understood. |
