Poll: Americans Support Patient-Centered Solutions, Oppose Government Determining Value

4/12/2016

 
The Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC)—whose members include organizations representing patients, people with disabilities and other stakeholders—today released a public opinion poll regarding healthcare delivery and access in America. The survey, which builds on prior surveys conducted by PIPC in 2013 and 2015, shows that of nearly 2,000 registered voters polled by Morning Consult, 8 in 10 say that doctors and patients should be able to decide the best course of treatment without government interference and that Medicare reforms should move toward patient-centered health care by giving physicians and patients the support they need to choose the best care for them

NAMI Comments to PCORI on Proposal for Peer Review of Primary Research

11/7/2014

 
The National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI)—a PIPC member—has submitted comments to PCORI on proposed guidelines for peer review of research findings.  “As a patient advocacy organization, NAMI supports the work of PCORI to undertake patient-centered comparative effectiveness research that can better inform clinical care decision-making.  NAMI is especially supportive of the efforts that the PCORI board and staff have made over the past few years to ensure meaningful patient engagement that drives the development of research priorities, the review of research findings and dissemination of results… NAMI supports the careful balance that PCORI has achieved with these standards for peer review.  In the end, this peer review process will be critical in ensuring that PCORI funded research has the integrity and credibility that will be needed to be useful for patients and their providers.”

PIPC Encourages PCORI to Focus on Cures in Hep C Discussion

10/30/2014

 
​The Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC) was joined by several hepatitis C patients and advocates today in sending a letter to the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) applauding PCORI for convening stakeholders to prioritize potential hepatitis C research questions, while providing guidance on how to ensure the prioritized questions are truly patient-centered.  The letter stated, "It was clearly articulated by patients and providers at the workshop that the most important patient-centered outcome in the case of hepatitis C is a cure for every patient diagnosed with this infectious disease.  To be truly patient-centered, we feel strongly that PCORI’s prioritization process should capture the research questions that are best suited to help patients achieve this outcome - a cure for all patients.”  PIPC and hepatitis C patients urged PCORI to give weight to the questions that were prioritized by patients, and to allow the public to comment on the draft priorities as is required by PCORI's statute.

8/15/2014

 
​On June 19, 2014, the Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC) and Families USA co-hosted a roundtable discussion on “Accountability for Patient Engagement in Research and Dissemination.”  The purpose was to move beyond a discussion of the points of engagement, and focus on who is accountable for patient engagement, and what makes engagement meaningful.  It was noted, and agreed by participants, that a goal of patient engagement is real patient empowerment and activation in their health care.  A focus of the discussion was implementation of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), which is creating a precedent for patient engagement practices in research that could be modeled by other entities.
