Wisconsin Research & Education Network (WREN)
Founded in 1987, WREN is one of the oldest and most respected practice-based research networks (PBRNs) in the nation. PBRNs are groups of clinicians and practices working together to answer community-based health care questions and translate research findings into practice. As a primary care PBRN, WREN engages clinics in high-quality research and quality improvement projects.
Primary care practice-based research happens in clinics where most patients receive care.
