<h2>Field Partnerships to Conduct and Use Research</h2><h3>Fact Sheet</h3>

<p>The Integrated Delivery System Research Network (IDSRN) is a model of field-based
research that links the Nation's top researchers with some of the largest health
care systems to conduct research on cutting-edge issues in health care on an
accelerated timetable. </p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> The successor to the IDSRN is the <a href="https://www.ahrq.gov/research/action.htm">ACTION initiative</a> (Accelerating Change and Transformation in Organizations and Networks).</p>

<h2>Mission</h2>
<p>The Integrated Delivery System Research Network (IDSRN) is a model of field-based
research that links the Nation's top researchers with some of the largest health
care systems to conduct research on cutting-edge issues in health care on an accelerated
timetable.</p>
<p>Designed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Integrated
Delivery System Research Network (IDSRN) was developed explicitly to capitalize
on the research capacity of, and research opportunities occurring within, integrated
delivery systems. The network creates, supports, and disseminates scientific
evidence about what works and what does not work in terms of data and measurement
systems and organizational "best practices" related to care delivery
and research diffusion. It also provides a cadre of delivery-affiliated researchers
and sites to test ways to adapt and apply existing knowledge.</p>
<p class="size2"><a href="#Contents">Return to Contents</a></p>
<a name="char"></a>
<h2>Characteristics of IDSRN Partners</h2>
<p>As a group, the IDSRN provides health services in a wide variety of organizational care settings to over 55 million
Americans including the privately insured, Medicare (3 million) and Medicaid
(2 million) patients, the uninsured (0.6 million), ethnic and racial minorities
(5.8 million), and rural (6.3 million) and inner-city residents. (Select for
<a href="#Partners">IDSRN Partners and Collaborators</a>.)</p>
<p>Each of the nine IDSRN partners has three unique attributes that make it particularly
suited for time-sensitive research projects:</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Data availability.</strong> IDSRN partners collect and maintain administrative,
claims, encounter, and other data on large populations that are clinically,
demographically, and geographically diverse.</li>
<li> <strong>Research expertise.</strong> IDSRN partners include some of the country's
leading health services researchers, with proficiency in quantitative and
qualitative methodologies and expertise in emerging delivery system issues.</li>
<li> <strong>Management authority to implement a health care intervention.</strong> IDSRN
partners have responsibility for managing delivery systems and are in a position
to implement financial and organizational strategies with an evaluation component. </li>
</ul>
