The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) will convene a select group of researchers and thought leaders for the "National Workshop to Advance the Use of Electronic Data in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research," July 2-3, in Palo Alto, Calif. The two-day workshop will focus on developing ideas for how PCORI can facilitate the creation or function of a national data infrastructure to support high quality patient-centered outcomes research. All presentations, panels and discussion sessions will be available to the public through a live interactive webcast of the workshop. Individuals viewing the webcast will be encouraged to participate virtually by asking questions or submitting comments throughout the event. Workshop participants - representing researchers, information scientists, clinicians, patients, advocacy communities, government, health systems, payers and industry - will present successful models for leveraging electronic medical data and identify opportunities for partnerships and collaboration. The workshop will inform PCORI's prioritization of work in this important area of research. This is the first of many workshops and events to engage all stakeholders in the implementation and further refinement of PCORI's research agenda. A agenda and information on how to view the webcast on the day of the workshop are available here.
