Today, PCORI held its Fourth Annual Congressional Science Fair on Capitol Hill. Researchers, patients and community partners representing PCORI-funded projects across 547 research sites in 38 states and the District of Columbia shared how their research is engaging with community organizations, addressing critical healthcare challenges and generating evidence that supports better health and healthcare decision making.

That’s a wrap on #PCORI26! 🎬 Over the last two days, we’ve seen the power of collaboration, innovation and patient-centered research in action. 🤝 Research is strongest when patients, caregivers, clinicians and other health decision makers are meaningful partners throughout the research process. Thank you to everyone who made this year’s PCORI Annual Meeting such a meaningful and impactful experience!

🗨️ This gathering has served to remind us that the leading edge of patient-centered CER is not defined by any single community, technology, or program. It is defined by our shared commitment to continually rethink how we generate evidence, who we engage in the process, and how we ensure that information reaches the people who need it most to make healthcare decisions. #PCORI26

Why Trust Matters: ▪️Effective research partnerships are built on relationships ▪️Trust is built through trustworthy behavior ▪️Trusted relationships are ones in which people feel respected, heard, valued and confident #PCORI26

Through HSII, PCORI provides funding to HSII Participant health systems to undertake implementation projects to actively advance the adoption of new evidence. These projects have the goal of promoting the uptake of specific PCORI-funded evidence in practice. Learn more: pcori.me/4eyBgZh #PCORI26

🗨️ Patients and caregivers who bring their experiences and expertise to all phases of the research process help ensure that the questions being asked, the evidence being produced, and the findings being shared are useful, relevant, and trustworthy for the people they are intended to serve. #PCORI26

What an incredible start to #PCORI26! 🌟 Today, patients, caregivers, researchers and healthcare leaders came together to exchange ideas, foster meaningful collaboration and explore innovative approaches to advancing patient-centered CER. Looking forward to another day of engaging conversations and fresh perspectives as we continue shaping the future of patient-centered CER.

An evidence review looked at available diagnostic tests and treatment options for children and teens with ADHD. Discover what the research reveals about effective ways to diagnose and treat ADHD — and how this evidence can help inform better care decisions for young people. pcori.me/49o2q4c #PCORI26

🗨️ Patients aren't just AI for the clinical information -- they're tying it to their every day lives. #PCORI26

🗨️ What strikes me every year about the PCORI Annual Meeting is not just the range of experience, expertise, and perspectives represented, but what becomes possible when we come together. The exchanges at this meeting infuse our work with new ideas for learning and improvement – ultimately leading to results from PCORI-funded research that are more relevant and useful. #PCORI26

A PCORI-funded study looked at whether web-based tools could help families manage their child’s asthma. Researchers compared outcomes for children whose families used a standard web-based tool to track asthma symptoms and attacks, an enhanced version of the tool or no tracking tool. The study found children whose families used either version of the online tool had better asthma symptom control and quality of life. They also missed fewer school days and had fewer ER or hospital visits. Read more: pcori.me/4yWv9Zt
