PaTH to Health Just-In-Time Data Analysis Training Part 2
The PaTH Clinical Research Network (CRN) developed this training to understand the importance of statistical tests in explaining study data, to become familiar with some statistical language, such as p values and null hypotheses and to be able to state some outcomes we are examining in the PaTH to Health Diabetes Study.
PaTH to Health Just-In-Time Study Results and Dissemination Training
The PaTH Clinical Research Network (CRN) designed this training explaining the benefits and limitations of observational studies, common data issues and how to manage them via the PaTH to Health Diabetes Study.
Non-technical PCORnet Common Data Model Introduction
This slide deck was created by Kellie Walters, MPH, UNC-Chapel Hill, part of the STAR Network, to introduce the PCORnet Common Data Model to patient stakeholders. The slides can be repurposed for any non-technical audience.
PaTH to Health Diabetes Newsletter
The PaTH to Health Diabetes part of the PaTH Clinical Research Network (CRN) developed this Newsletter template to keep Patient Partners informed about the progress of this study and to foster continued engagement.
Clinic Staff as a Unique Stakeholder Group in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
Research Action for Health Network (REACHnet) and LPHI discuss the role of clinic staff in patient-centered outcomes research. Through a project funded by the PCORI Eugene Washington Engagement Award, LPHI implemented pragmatic research studies that resulted in a training workbook to help clinic staff better understand the research process.

Patient Engagement Officer Description
In this document, the Greater Plains Collaborative (GPC) Clinical Research Network (CRN) describes the role of a Patient Engagement Officer (PEO). This resource can be used by researchers and other stakeholders who are seeking to hire a PEO to improve engagement through identifying, recruiting, and supporting patient partners and liaising between engagement work of an organization and staff from local sites.
GPC is a Network Partner in PCORnet®, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network. PCORnet has been developed with funding from PCORI.
Pilot Linkage Project Process and Results
PCORnet CMS Linkage Pilot Team has released a white paper to help others learn more about how to use Medicare claims data to support studies. The pilot team developed a process for using Medicare claims data to supplement PCORnet data in pragmatic clinical trials such as the ADAPTABLE study, which compares the effectiveness of different daily aspirin dosing for heart attack and stroke prevention. The project team describes the processes and data flows used successfully in the pilot, as well as lessons learned and recommendations.
Recommendations for Future Projects
PCORnet Demonstration Project Meeting discussions resulted in this list of recommendations for future projects. Consider these recommendations when developing your own collaborative, people-centered research study.
Principles of Partnership Self Assessment Tool
This tool developed by the Greater Plains Collaborative (GPC) Clinical Research network (CRN) is used to assess and determine the extent to which their network’s research has abided by the Community-Campus Partnership for Health guiding principles of engagement. Use this assessment tool to help you identify the extent to which your research has incorporated engagement principles.
