Research practice improvement ideas are
generated by community clinicians practicing in Northern New England.
The COOP Governing Board and staff develop the research ideas as they
work through the "pipeline." Some ideas will never be funded. The work
of developing any idea helps educate the members about research
methods, increases enthusiasm for practice and stimulates new ideas.
Any clinician who has participated in COOP research is eligible to
present ideas at the Annual meeting or develop an "interactive insert"
which is part of a quarterly newsletter.
The COOP Project has also moved to systematically improving care and speeding up the process.
