Patient engagement in clinical research and quality of care

HOW DOES PATIENT ENGAGEMENT IMPROVE CLINICAL RESEARCH?
The MUHC-ISAI’s 2016 Research Symposium

This symposium, held in June 2016, was chaired by Vassilios Papadopoulos, Executive Director and Chief Scientific officer, Research Institute of the MUHC, and Jean Bourbeau, Director, McConnell Centre for Innovative Medicine, RI-MUHC. The event introduced two internationally-acclaimed initiatives that are narrowing the distance between patient and researcher and have the potential to dramatically accelerate and improve the development and adoption of therapies that respond to patient priorities. Following these presentations, a roundtable discussion among Quebec government, research, patient and industry leaders explored how organizations are engaging patients in the research enterprise and what they see for the future.

Conference cover -3The conference, chaired by Patricia O’Connor, Senior Advisor, Patient Engagement, MUHC, and special guest co-chair, Angela Coulter, University of Oxford, took place October 30, 2015. This event marked a second opportunity to focus on patient engagement. The 2014 conference provided a broad look at why patient engagement has become a priority. In 2015, we narrowed the focus to look specifically at partnering with patients to design care processes that better meet patient needs. Presenters discussed emerging best practices and strategies to include patients as partners in healthcare improvement.
