Since its inception over a decade ago, PIPC has focused on infusing patient-centricity in our health care system. We have been highly focused on patient-centered solutions for evidence-based decision-making, including advocating for the development of high-quality patient reported outcomes data and development of high quality patient-centered comparative clinical effective research, as well as opposing reliance on one-size fits all cost-effectiveness thresholds. Our goal is for high-quality patient-centered data to equip and empower patients and people with disabilities to make decisions, with their providers, about the care and treatment best to address their individual needs.
