Characterizing Telehealth Visits Across Clinical Research Networks Participating in PCORnet®, The National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network
This query of PCORnet® data resources explores the use of telehealth services among patients at partner sites. The query results aim to showcase how the PCORnet infrastructure can identify disparities in telehealth delivery, understand trends pre- and post-COVID-19, and illustrate how populations managed chronic conditions using telehealth services throughout the pandemic.
Tip Sheet for Researchers on Engaging Community Groups and Patient Partners
This document is intended for researchers who are considering doing community engagement, particularly those who intend to establish a longstanding relationship with a community group or patient partner. It presents tips and advice gleaned from engagement experts, researchers, and patient partners in the PaTH CRN.
STAR CRN Glossary of Acronyms & Terms
The STAR Clinical Research Network has developed a glossary of research acronyms and terms to help others who may encounter these terms in the course of their research.
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Data Report
This query of PCORnet data resources describes a population of patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) with a healthcare encounter at a partner site. This query is the largest known, national-scale descriptive analysis of IDD populations using electronic health record (EHR) data. Query results inform how PCORnet can be used for patient-centered comparative effectiveness research (CER) research on IDD and to inform opportunities to enhance PCORnet IDD data resources.
INSIGHT Recruitment CONSORT Diagram
The INSIGHT Recruitment CONSORT Diagram is a template to update the research team, Co-Investigator(s), Principal Investigator(s) (PI) and other stakeholders on recruitment strategies, methods of contact and results. The consort diagram can assist research teams in determining which recruitment strategies are the most effective.
Engagement Guidance & Resources for Patient-Centered “Data-Only” Studies
Patient-centered studies require a rightsized stakeholder engagement plan. The STAR CRN provides engagement guidance and resources for data-only studies such as observational, retrospective data abstractions that use EHR data from the sites participating in the STAR CRN. This can include electronic health record data from the STAR CRN Common Data Model (CDM), or from other electronic health record data sources that are being accessed as part of a STAR engaged project.
Patient and Stakeholder Engagement Policy
The Research Action for Health Network (REACHnet) Clinical Research Network (CRN) has developed a comprehensive Engagement Policy to advance the mission of PCORI to meaningfully engage patient and other stakeholders in the research process. This document can serve as guidance for stakeholders interested in patient-centered research.
Rapid and Collaborative Response to COVID-19
Researchers responded rapidly and collaboratively to answer COVID-19 questions by using PCORnet resources including a flexible coordinating center, the PCORnet® Common Data Model, research-ready networks, and existing research studies that pivoted quickly. Researchers can use this resource to demonstrate how the resources of PCORnet can be used for studies that require fast answers.
How Common are New Symptoms and Conditions After COVID-19? Results from PCORnet
Summary of the CDC’s research on symptoms experienced more than 4 weeks after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Researchers studied data from electronic health records of 1.8 million adults and 300,000 children from 42 PCORnet network partners.
