Practice-based Research Network Research Good Practices (PRGPs): Summary of Recommendations

Good Practices for Reproducible Research

Multi-core architectures comprising several GPUs have become mainstream in the eld of High-Performance Computing. However, obtaining the maximum performance of such heterogeneous machines is challenging as it requires to carefully o oad computations and manage data movements between the di erent processing units. The most promising and successful approaches so far rely on task-based runtimes th...

Coordinating centers and multi-practice-based research network (PBRN) research.

Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) have emerged as laboratories in which to address important primary care challenges. In 2011, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's PBRN database included more than 130 networks, most regional and some national, with member practices in every state. Regional networks may have certain advantages over national networks with respect to practice re...

Reducing Research Waste Through Good Reporting Practices

Roughly 85% of healthcare research funding may be wasted due to several avoidable reasons, including poor research question selection, poor study design, selective nonpublication, and poor reporting.1 The cost of waste worldwide was estimated at 200 billion United States dollars in 2010.1 All actors in the research field—researchers, institutions, regulators, funders, publishers, and policy mak...

Scottish Dental Practice Based Research Network

Background: The General Dental Services (GDS) contract of 1990 formalised the provision of emergency, out-of-hours treatment for NHS patients. If contacted outside normal surgery hours by a registered patient the GDP is required to offer advice and reassurance by telephone or to reopen the surgery. If seen out of hours, the GDP is paid a recalled dental attendance fee for re-opening the surgery...
