Presentation Oct 13, 2011

Page Contents

On October 13, 2011, AHRQ’s Community Forum hosted a Web conference on Supporting Patient and Consumer Involvement in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research. Drawing from their own work in patient engagement and advocacy, presenters discussed techniques and resources to effectively and efficiently identify patient and consumer representatives; mechanisms to best support and train patient and consumer representatives; and strategies for partnering with patients and consumers in the translation and dissemination of research products.

The panel summary presents techniques and resources to identify patient and consumer representatives to contribute to all phases of research; ways to provide support and training to facilitate their involvement throughout the process; and strategies for partnering with patients and consumers in the translation and dissemination of research products.
