PCORI Telehealth Consensus Conference

Wednesday, September 28, 2022, 10:00 AM - Thursday, September 29, 2022, 11:30 AM, Virtual


AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (6.50 hours), General Attendance (6.50 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (6.50 hours)

Nationally, we will host a consensus conference that brings together a diverse range of patients, community organizations, researchers, educators, clinicians, and other key stakeholders who have lived experience in the area of telehealth use and barriers among vulnerable populations to 1) identify best practices, 2) clarify knowledge gaps, 3) prioritize research questions, and 4) set a patient-centered research agenda related to reducing disparities in telehealth uptake.

Discussion will include a deep dive on identifying barriers to acceptability and feasibility of telehealth use for both clinical interventions as well as research procedures such as clinical trials enrollments. We will pay specific attention to the factors surrounding trust, confidence and relevance to individuals’ lives as an unspoken barrier to successful engagement in telehealth.

Findings will build knowledge regarding priority topics for future PCOR/CER initiatives, including information regarding gaps in evidence, priority populations and health decisions, appropriate interventions and comparators and outcomes that people representing the population of interest notice and care about. In addition, this work will facilitate development of a national network of stakeholders all invested in addressing telehealth barriers, thus increasing capacity for future communication and dissemination of any best practices.
