Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute:
Research Fundamentals
The Challenge:
People new to healthcare research and patient-centered research have many questions: “What is patient-centered outcomes research?” “How does the research process work?” “How can I be an effective partner on a research study?” Illumina’s long-standing partner, American Institutes for Research, approached Illumina to help develop a training program for their client, PCORI, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, to address this need. The training program needed to be oriented towards both practitioners and participants in research studies.
The Solution:
Illumina collaborated with AIR to develop “Research Fundamentals: Preparing You to Successfully Contribute to Research” an on-demand training program that answers the above questions and is designed to help practitioners and participants understand the language and logic of the research process. Through videos, PDFs, and five interactive self-paced e-learning modules, Research Fundamentals helps users learn about the health research process and become involved in patient-centered outcomes research. The live course can be seen at https://www.pcori.org/engagement/research-fundamentals.
What our clients say about us
“They are quick to understand and adapt as the specs have evolved over time. Being flexible and responsive is a huge benefit. Because a lot of clients don’t know what they need at the outset, the Illumina team is good at co-creating that solution and making informative recommendations.”
