Since the creation of PCORI, it has been clear to PIPC that it would be crucial for patients and physicians to work together in support of an agenda that is responsive to our shared needs at the point of treatment decision-making. To that end, PIPC supported a series of roundtables with leading physician and patient organizations beginning in early 2012 to identify, discuss, and define potential next steps in key areas of PCORI’s work. Leading medical societies that serve on PIPC’s Steering Committee – such as the American College of Cardiology and American Association of Neurological Surgeons – were instrumental in helping organize several of these roundtables
The roundtables proved very successful in identifying priority issues of common interest to leaders in the provider and patient communities. Issues identified and discussed during these roundtables included research priority setting, research infrastructure, physician and patient engagement strategies, and results communication.
The roundtables that PIPC hosted provided valuable input and perspectives, and PIPC committed to continuing these roundtables in 2013 to continue developing patient-centered solutions to some of the key challenges that have been identified. The document included below provides a brief overview of the highlights and successes of PIPC's 2012 roundtable series.
