HealthCore Invites Community-based Practitioners to Participate in 'Real-world' Research Network

The IRN(sm), a collaborative research community, brings together physicians, hospital leaders, clinical researchers, pharmacists and other health care providers to identify clinical issues for study, provide clinical data for ongoing studies, respond to health surveys, and recruit and enroll patients in comparative effectiveness studies in real-world settings. The IRN(sm) can also provide practice diversification and additional income to physicians who choose to participate in specific studies.

"Ultimately, the information the IRN(sm) produces will help health care providers personalize medicine for the individual patient and deliver safer, more efficient and higher quality health care."

Physicians will be compensated for their
