Title:
Pragmatic Trials in Public Health and Medicine

Description:
This webinar will review key issues and their solutions for pragmatic trials in public health and medicine. Pragmatic trials are used increasingly in health care settings to help clinicians choose between options for care. They often involve group- or cluster-randomization, though alternatives to randomized trials are also available. Many current trials rely upon electronic health records as the major source for data. These studies face a variety of challenges in the development and delivery of their interventions, research design, informed consent, data collection, and data analysis. This webinar will review these issues both generally and using examples from the Health Care Systems Collaboratory. The HCS Collaboratory is an NIH funded consortium of nine pragmatic trials that address a variety of health issues and outcomes, all conducted within health care systems, all relying on electronic health records as their primary source of data, with most implemented as a group- or cluster-randomized trial.
