We serve as the primary resource for family medicine practices, by providing knowledge, health information technology and practice transformation tools and guidance to satisfy the Quadruple Aim of improving the health of populations, enhancing the experience of care for individuals, reducing the per capita cost of health care, and attaining joy in work.
We continuously push to expand the reach of our practice-based research networks to more effectively support practices, share information, develop and sustain a dynamic learning community and bring value to our stakeholders by answering their questions.

Robert | Family Medicine Jul 17, 2024
The research team of [alphabetically] Danika Buss; Kelsey Huss; Courtney Oser; Jessica Oser; Sean Oser, MD, MPH; Tamara Oser, MD; Seth Kramer, DO, MPH; Jessica Parascando, Britney Prince, and Elizabeth Westfeldt were featured in a diaTribe article entitled “AID Technology Improves Diabetes Care No Matter How You Get It” for their work in testing automated insulin delivery (AID). Read the full article about their study.
In addition, from June 21–24, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) hosted the 84th Scientific Sessions in Orlando, FL. The ADA’s Scientific Sessions is the world’s largest diabetes meeting, convening more than 11,000 leading physicians, scientists, researchers and health care professionals from around the globe. During this Session, Sean Oser, MD, MPH, delivered an oral presentation on early results from PREPARE4CGM, representing the whole Practice Innovation Program (PIP) team involved in that project. He also delivered an invited oral presentation on the role of primary care in automated insulin delivery. The PIP team also had two posters there, one on CGM use among nurse practitioners, and the other presenting results from the first-ever primary care trial of the iLet bionic pancreas, carried out by our Primary Care Diabetes Lab (details at the link above). Way to represent, team!
