Figures & data
Figure 1. Structure of the Norwegian practice-based research network (PBRN). CN: coordinating node; RRN: regional research network; GP: general practice; UiB: University of Bergen; UiO: University of Oslo; UiT: University of Tromsø – the Arctic University of Norway; NTNU: Norwegian University of Science and Technology; NSE: Norwegian Centre for E-health Research. Numbers indicate the number of participating practices within each RRN. An underlying IT infrastructure interconnects GPs and RRNs, sharing tools and background data extraction mechanisms. (small open circles). Users are able to obtain research data from GPs via the IT infrastructure (small black circle).
Figure 2. The 92 general practices recruited to PraksisNett. Green denotes 2–4 GPs per general practice, blue 5–7 GPs, yellow 8–10 GPs and red > 10 GPs (map from google.com/maps).
