Who decides which materials to disseminate?

The RPR Clinical Administrator, currently Jim Mold, M.D., M.P.H., makes the final decisions, but anyone is welcome to make suggestions.  If you decide to suggest a resource, please be aware of the following submission guidelines:

Anyone can suggest a resource for dissemination through RPR Exchange.  Suggestions should be submitted by e-mail to the Clinical Administrator.  Currently that is Dr. James Mold (jameswmold@att.net). Before making a resource suggestion, please follow the following steps:

  1. The purpose of RPR Exchange is to disseminate highly relevant and implementable resources to primary care clinicians in Oklahoma (and to provide a mechanism through which clinicians can communicate with the academicians affiliated with the Oklahoma Clinical and Translational Science Institute).  Before recommending a resource for dissemination through RPR Exchange:
    1. Make sure it is highly relevant; that is, if implemented, it would have a significant positive impact on patients, clinicians, or primary care practices over a meaningful period of time; and
    2. Make sure the information can be implemented in a majority of Oklahoma primary care settings without major changes in public policies, reimbursement methods, or resources.
  2. Include with your suggested resource the following information:
    1. Title
    2. Author
    3. Internet address if the resource is available on the internet
    4. Abstract if there is one
    5. Availability of full text (e.g. free, requires subscription, etc.)
    6. At least three key words that could be used to search for the resource
  3. Write a one to three sentence summary of the information contained in the resource.  This statement will be sent to RPR members via e-mail, allowing them to quickly decide whether the new resource is likely to be useful to them.
  4. The Clinical Administrator of RPR will make the final determination regarding whether the resource will be added to the RPR repository.
What criteria are used to determine the value of the information?

Resources added to the RPR Exchange are intended to be both impactful (significant benefit to patients, clinicians, or practices over an extended period of time) and implementatble in primary care settings (possible to implement without major changes in policy, reimbursement, or resources).  

How many and what kinds of e-mails am I likely to receive if I join the OKPRN listserv?

Because we intend to be very selective when choosing resources to include in RPR, we anticipate that you will receive no more than one or two e-mails per week, even if you sign up to receive notifications of all categories of resources.
