Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)

Summary

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is an independent, non-profit research organisation that seeks to empower patients and others with actionable information about their health and healthcare choices. It funds comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER), which compares two or more medical treatments, services, or health practices to help patients and other stakeholders make better informed decisions.

The PCORI Strategic Plan provides a roadmap for its activities in the years ahead as they pursue their vision and mission.

Developed with extensive stakeholder input, the Plan articulates a refined focus on generating patient-centered evidence that has the greatest positive impact on health outcomes.
