At the 2025 PCORI Annual Meeting on October 21 and 22, two breakout sessions will highlight how researchers have leveraged the PCORnet® infrastructure to accelerate patient partnership and workforce development for comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) teams, and how researchers are harnessing PCORnet data resources to improve maternal outcomes.
- Leveraging PCORnet® To Accelerate Patient Partnership and Workforce Development for CER Teams | October 21, 2:15 – 3:30pm
- Harnessing PCORnet® Data Resources to Inform CER in Postpartum Hemorrhage | October 21, 4:00 – 5:15pm
Explore the full agenda and read more below about how these sessions will highlight PCORnet.
Accelerating Patient Partnership and Workforce Development
Patient engagement is critical to successful CER, but engaging patients in large-scale research requires the resources and workforce development to support their successful involvement.
At a breakout session on October 21 at 2:15pm, hear from Lindsay Mayberry, PhD, one of the lead investigators for the Coordinating Center for PCORnet®, and Jeff Ordway, Patient Partner and fellow co-investigator, on how Patient Partners and research staff are using the PCORI-funded PCORnet infrastructure to build teams that are better equipped to participate in patient-centered CER and discover how this collaboration can transform both studies and careers.
This session will feature the strength of PCORnet—for those interested in learning more, representatives from the network will be at the meeting to answer specific questions and provide more information and resources.
Powering Maternal Health Insights
At a breakout session at last year’s Annual Meeting, researchers demonstrated how PCORnet powers patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research that is shedding light on solutions to improve maternal outcomes. This year, at a breakout session on October 21 at 4:00pm, PCORnet researchers will delve into one particular life-threatening condition, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).
Rates of PPH have steadily risen in the United States over the last two decades. In this panel, patient advocates, clinicians, and subject matter experts will share their perspectives on preventing, diagnosing, and treating PPH and will explore the potential of emerging therapies through case examples. They also will discuss how PCORnet data resources, such as the Population Insights Reports, could inform future patient-centered CER on this pressing maternal health condition.
Population Insights Reports are inquiries into the types of data available in the PCORnet research network and are made public so anyone can view or access it. An updated report on women receiving health care services at clinical sites across PCORnet is now available. This report offers insights into the capacity of the network to support meaningful research focused on women’s health, including conditions such as PPH.
For those attending the PCORI Annual Meeting, be sure to stop by these two breakout sessions on October 21. Attendees are encouraged to stop by the PCORI information booth to learn more about how PCORnet can support national-scale research.
