The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute Board of Governors voted today to amend PCORI's draft Research Agenda in response to public comments.
The draft National Priorities for Research identifies five areas where comparative effectiveness research is needed to support decision-making:
• Assessment of options for prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
• Improving healthcare systems.
• Communication and dissemination research.
• Addressing disparities.
• Accelerating patient-centered outcomes research and methodological research.
Based on more than 450 public comments on the draft agenda, the PCORI board voted to make several changes to the draft agenda, including clarification of PCORI's focus on patient engagement and transparency; on patients with multiple chronic conditions; on patients with rare diseases; on improving healthcare systems, including care coordination, access to care and the role of practice settings and allied health professionals; and on the importance of health literacy.
A full final version of the agenda, including accepted revisions, will be posted May 21 after final board review and approval.
