PCORI Board of Governors Meeting
September 23, 2013
Washington D.C., The Westin Georgetown

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has announced that they will hold their Board of Governors meeting on September 23, 2013.  PIPC Chairman Tony Coelho urges PIPC members and other stakeholders to attend the meeting and remain engaged with PCORI on issues relating to patient centered CER.  No additional information has been provided to this point, but an agenda and registration will be posted here as it becomes available. 

4. Webinar: National Health Council Leads Development of CER Usability Criteria
The National Health Council (NHC) announced in February of 2013 that they would lead the effort to establish a patient centered usability criteria to maximize the value of comparative effectiveness research (CER).  According to a February 7 editorial from NHC, “Usability criteria would be created by an entity knowledgeable about research methodology and address uncertainty, relevance, heterogeneity, and other issues pertinent to evaluating research findings. More importantly, the criteria would help investigators structure their research to answer the questions that are most important to patients, their family caregivers, healthcare providers, and policy makers… Without predetermined usability criteria, and a transparent process for evaluation comparative effectiveness research findings, the intended audiences are left without a roadmap to identify high-quality, useful information.”  Click here to view the article.

On Monday, September 30, from 9:30 am - 3:00 pm, an event will be held in Washington D.C. to discuss the CER Usability Criteria.  Participants are invited for “a conversation and symposium featuring a broad range of health care stakeholders—patients, providers, policymakers, payers, researchers, and those who fund research.  We’ll focus on an effort led by the National Health Council to create a framework to guide the development of CER, evaluate its results, and assist in communicating the findings to the right audiences.” Click here to register for the event.

5. PCORI Welcomes New AHRQ Director Richard Kronick to Its Board of Governors
According to a press release from PCORI, newly named Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Dr. Richard Kronick, will join the Board of Governors.  “With his background and expertise in areas such as the use of "big data" for health research, evidence-based care, health care financing, and barriers impeding access to quality care, Dr. Kronick will bring valuable insights to our Board,’ said PCORI Executive Director Joe Selby, MD, MPH. ‘We look forward to working with Rick to forge a PCORI research agenda that complements AHRQ's contributions and a dissemination strategy that we'll implement in partnership with the agency.’” Click here to view the press release.

An article published this week in CQ HealthBeat notes, “Kronick is perhaps best known for a 1989 New England Journal of Medicine article co-authored with Stanford University professor Alain Enthoven. It proposed a system of universal coverage under which large purchasers would use their bargaining power to require health plans to compete in marketplaces structured to reward insurers that provided affordable, quality care… Kronick moves over to AHRQ from his position as the Department of Health and Human Services’ deputy assistant secretary for planning and evaluation, where he oversaw the Office of Health Policy.” Click here to view the article (subscription only).

6. PCORI Blog: Patient and Clinician Survey Reveals Encouraging Attitudes Towards CER
According a the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), a new survey of patients, caregivers, and primary-care clinicians reveals encouraging attitudes towards comparative effectiveness research (CER).  According to a blog post from PCORI staff, “The physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and physician assistants surveyed showed strong support for clinical research. About three in four agreed CER can improve the quality of patient care, and most also agreed that CER should be used to develop clinical-practice guidelines.” Click here to view the blog post and to read further into the survey results.
