On November 6, 2013 the Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC) and the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) convened a Roundtable Discussion of patient advocacy and provider organizations to discuss the development of a Dissemination and Implementation Action Plan by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). The goal of the Roundtable was to identify and articulate consensus recommendations to guide PCORI as it initiates this next phase of its research agenda.
