A lot of healthcare choice are very complex and so there's benefits there's harms to particular
treatments and the options available to patients for their care. So, we're providing research
dollars to test a variety of mechanisms in which that health information is being tested
to find the most appropriate means to make that information available and useful for
patients to make informed choices, especially in the context of their personal situation,
their condition, and their preferences for care. The Communication and Dissemination
Research Program is one of the five national priorities for PCORI, and we really are trying
to empower patients to ask for information, to make it available in formats that they
can actually use, and hopefully influence that shared decision making process that happens
between patients and providers when care choices are being made.
