"As Chairman of the Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC), I applaud the selection of Dr. Anne Beal as the new Chief Officer for Engagement by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Although Dr. Beal has already been heavily involved in PCORI's stakeholder engagement activities, allowing her to dedicate her full time to the job will ensure the realization of the law's patient-centered vision for PCORI. Dr. Beal possesses the strong voice PCORI needs to help ensure that its Board and staff are working strategically in their engagement of patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders to drive a patient-centered research agenda."
