Grand Rounds Series To Explore Digital Technologies, Health Records, and Pragmatic TrialsApril 29, 2020 Catherine Meyers, M.D. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Health Care Systems Research Collaboratory is working to transform the way clinical trials are conducted, by actually conducting research within usual care settings in health care systems. Ultimately, the goal of these pragmatic clinical trials (PCT) is to inform health and health care decisionmaking by providers, patients, and policymakers based on real-world clinical evidence. PCT address major public health questions in real-world settings with highly generalizable populations and can produce clinical evidence more quickly and at lower cost than in many traditional clinical trials. Staff of NCCIH and the National Institute on Aging have been leading the NIH Collaboratory, which launched in 2012 and has supported 19 projects. Since 2016, the NIH Collaboratory has held annual 1-day workshops at NIH to share the many lessons learned from these trials, which focus on different diseases. The PCT investigators and many clinical trial experts have participated in these workshops to discuss the various challenges and potential solutions for conducting PCT, as well as new opportunities in other settings. This year, I am excited to announce that the NIH Collaboratory will instead host a different type of meeting - a Grand Rounds Workshop Series streamed online on four Fridays in May and June 2020. Our overall theme is “Advances at the Intersection of Digital Health, Electronic Health Records (EHRs), and Pragmatic Clinical Trials.” Each meeting will provide insights into how these three facets of health care intersect. The events will be streamed from 1 to 2 p.m. ET on May 1, 8, and 29, and June 26. Registration is not required, and access is free of charge. Sessions will be archived. |
