Improving the Use of Patient-Provided Information in Real-World Evidence Research
Study Objective
- To understand how patient-provided information (PPI) – gathered through meaningful patient engagement – can be translated by researchers into more patient-centered real-world data (RWD) research designs that reflect patients’ lived experiences.
- To develop a set of good-practice principles that can be disseminated to various real-world evidence (RWE) stakeholders.
Definitions
Patient-Provided Information (PPI): broadly encompasses the entirety of information that can be collected from an interaction with a patient. The focus should be the patients view on their disease(s)/condition(s), desired attributes for treatments, experiences with treatments, benefit- risk preferences, and desired goals and outcomes.
Real-world data (RWD) and Real-world evidence (RWE): Data and data-derived interpretation that is based on sources other than conventional, randomized, controlled studies and offers insight to clinical, coverage, payment, and patient decisions.
