PCORI Executive Director Joe Selby wants to be clear that while the institute's main focus will be on patient-centered activities, it will wants participation from all interested parties.
"We want a director of stakeholder engagement to engage providers, caregivers, employers, health plans, health systems, health services researchers and other researchers, government and industry," Selby said September 19th during the PCORI Board of Governors meeting in Seattle.
Good idea. And the selection process (and the selected candidate) should be carefully watched to see how Dr. Selby and the PCORI board defines “interested parties.”
