WHAT WE DO

The ADVANCE Data Warehouse is the nation’s most comprehensive database on healthcare and outcomes of communities and populations historically underrepresented or excluded from research. The goal of ADVANCE is to build and maintain a network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)- community-based health care organizations- to strengthen inclusion of populations that have been historically underserved and underrepresented in research. ADVANCE looks to strengthen health equity initiatives and health equity research through curated data sets for researchers

ADVANCE AIMS

STRENGTHEN

Strengthen the infrastructure of our community academic partnerships to support patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR), and support FQHCs to become learning health systems

EXPAND

Expand engagement of patients and clinicians in the design, implementation, and interpretation of research

DEVELOP

Develop electronic systems for recruiting study participants and collecting patient-reported data

INTEGRATE

Integrate outpatient, hospital, and community-level data into a single data management system

BUILD

Build the capacity of our FQHC networks to meet research regulatory requirements

ADVANCE DISSEMINATION GUIDELINES

The purpose of these guidelines is to document a shared understanding and approach for disseminating research findings from ADVANCE projects. The following principles guide ADVANCE in our research dissemination efforts:

Research is focused on improving the health of people accessing primary care services in community health center settings, including patients who have public insurance or no insurance.
Engagement with patients, clinicians, community stakeholders, and investigators is a key part of the research conduct, interpretation, and dissemination processes.
Dissemination of findings through efficient, timely, and collaborative processes that allow all partners to contribute as desired.
Ownership of individual health system data resides with each health system; ownership of the data set and project findings is mediated through a project DUA.

The ADVANCE Clinical Research Network (CRN) is led by OCHIN in partnership with Fenway Health, Health Choice Network (HCN), and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The goal of ADVANCE is to build and maintain a network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)- community-based health care organizations- to strengthen inclusion of populations that have been systemically underserved and underrepresented in research. ADVANCE adds value to health equity initiatives and health equity research by curating data sets for researchers.
