Webinar: Setting Standards for Patient-Centeredness and Patient Engagement in Research

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) held a special webinar to brief stakeholders on PCORI’s draft Methodology Report and encourage public comment. The draft report, released July 23, 2012, offers standards to guide healthcare stakeholders towards the best and most appropriate methods for conducting patient-centered outcomes research.

The webinar provided patients, caregivers and the broader healthcare community an in-depth discovery of the contents of the draft Methodology Report and the proposed standards for how patients should be engaged throughout the research process. Earlier on August 3, PCORI hosted a webinar to provide an in-depth account of the scientific value of the proposed standards in the draft report.
