RPR FAQs

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.  

When I use Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) to access the RPR, it doesn’t display information as cleanly as I see using other browsers. It that a problem with the IE or is it my computer?

It could be a little of both, but we have found an easy solution. Next time you open internet Explorer, look for the “gear” (Tools) in the top right corner of the browser.  Click on that symbol and then click on “Compatibility View settings.”  When that box opens, uncheck the two boxes at the bottom of the display.  RPR will display properly next time you access the program.  If you display the Menu bar at the top of the IE display, you can also access Compatibility View settings by clicking on the “Tools” option in the Menu bar at the top of the page.  We also find that RPR displays very well using Firefox and Chrome.

If I am a primary care clinician who practices part-time, am I qualified to become a member if more than 50% of the time I do spend seeing patients involves outpatient primary care?

Yes
