CAMPHIRE
About Us
In an exciting new collaboration, the Colorado Ambulatory Partnership for Health Innovation and Research Excellence (CAMPHIRE) is comprised of the Practice Innovation Program (PIP) and the State Networks of Colorado Ambulatory Practices & Partners (SNOCAP), and is an integrated partnership of innovators, scientists, and clinicians who produce and translate evidence in ambulatory care and community settings. We work with practices, partners, and communities to conduct and foster collaborative practice- and community-based research, education, and innovation in real-world clinical practice to improve the health and well-being of communities, across the lifespan.
CAMPHIRE is a single entity consisting of eight methodological and functional teams:
- Communications
- Community Engagement
- Data and Analytics
- Field Operations for Research & Transformation
- Government Relationships
- Practice Relationships
- Research Design Scientific Leadership & PBRN Methods
- Workforce Development & Medical Education
These teams fall under the purview of the Leadership Council and Team Leads, with input from both our partners and advisors.

Learn About Our Origins
The Practice Innovation Program (PIP)* is improving the quality of health and healthcare. We are a team of clinicians, researchers, health information technology experts, practice facilitation experts, and program staff members from the University of Colorado, Department of Family Medicine.
- We know that good health requires effective healthcare teams connected to engaged patients and strong communities.
- We work with healthcare practice teams to identify opportunities to improve the quality of care for their patients.
- We convene and connect people who care about improving health in their communities.
- We engage innovative practice teams to participate in timely and relevant research.
- We provide support through building blocks, tools, workforce training, and education needed to drive positive change.
- We collect and use data to make critical decisions.
- We rigorously evaluate and research new evidence, package the best recommendations, and distribute them to our network.
The result is better health and healthcare for Colorado and beyond.

SNOCAP* stands for State Networks of Colorado Ambulatory Practices and Partners. SNOCAP is the overarching name for the collaborative affiliation of practice-based research networks in Colorado that joined together to improve communication, facilitate joint research projects, and share research staff and resources. We are leading the charge for healthier communities.
Because of the variation in size, location, populations served, and organizational structure, research conducted across SNOCAP is more generalizable than that conducted in more uniform Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) elsewhere.
