We are pleased to announce that our workshop, “Changing Trials for Changing Times: Essentials of Embedded Pragmatic Clinical Trials,” will be available virtually and at no charge to all HCSRN Annual Conference registrants and all HCSRN members on the day preceding the conference in Denver. (This offering does not affect HCSRN Annual Conference programming, which will remain in person.)

The workshop introduces concepts in the design, conduct, and implementation of embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs), with a particular focus on methods relevant to health services researchers. ePCTs are randomized trials conducted within healthcare systems and use streamlined procedures and existing infrastructure to answer important medical questions for patients, providers, and health system leaders.
The workshop will provide an introduction to the investigative opportunities for embedded health systems research, along with strategies for conducting clinical trials that provide real-world evidence necessary to inform both practice and policy. Firsthand ePCT experiences and case studies from the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory will support and illustrate the topics presented and demonstrate the importance of leveraging networks throughout the course of ePCTs.
For HCSRN Annual Conference attendees, a dedicated room will be available for congregating with other workshop participants and interacting with the virtual presenters. Due to limited room capacity, please indicate whether you will join in person so that we can better plan for room set up and light refreshments, which will be provided onsite.
