Workshop Agenda

Building Data Capacity for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research:
An Agenda for 2021 to 2030

Virtual Workshop 1: Looking Ahead at Data Needs

MAY 3, 2021, 11 AM–5 PM EDT

OBJECTIVES FOR THE WORKSHOP

  • Provide a high-level overview of what kind of data are included in the patient-centered outcomes research data infrastructure.
  • Identify key questions that stakeholders are most likely to want answered going forward, including general themes that cut across health conditions and circumstances.
  • Discuss implications of the broadened statutory scope for PCOR.
  • Identify gaps in what stakeholders need and what the infrastructure allows. Consider both limitations in the existing data and improvements that could be made to new data collections (e.g., at point of care or in prospective studies).
  • Discuss what questions cannot be answered and who is not served by the current PCOR data infrastructure.
  • Discuss what HHS is best positioned to address and how the agency could maximize resources available for the PCOR data infrastructure (representing 4% of the PCOR trust fund), in the context of the HHS public mission, authorities, programs, and data resources.
