The Patient Engagement Panel (PEP) is a group of people who are interested in research and the way it involves and impacts patients and caregivers. Patients and caregivers have an important perspective as recipients of care and community members. The PEP gives patients and caregivers a way to actively advise and guide decision makers, providers, and researchers in work to improve healthcare experiences and treatment options. PEP members share their insights and suggestions on issues such as:
- The development of research topics and questions
- How changes to health care delivery impact patients
- How to share research findings with the general public
- How to encourage patients to take part in research
- How to improve health technologies to support care delivery and engage patients in their own care
For more information, please email the OCHIN PEP Lead: Anna Templeton.
