Advances at the Intersection of Digital Health, EHRs, and PCTs: NIH-Hosted Workshop (May-July 2020)

May-July 2020: In 2020, NIH Collaboratory Grand Rounds held a special workshop series to explore challenges and opportunities in using electronic health records (EHRs) in pragmatic clinical trials. The series highlighted advances in digital health, new approaches and evolving standards for EHRs, and implications for researchers conducting pragmatic trials. The Grand Rounds series included moderated panel discussions that focused on the use of digital technologies in pragmatic clinical trials, case examples from the NIH Collaboratory Trials, and recent initiatives from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to reshape standards and drive the evolution of EHRs in healthcare and research. The series culminated with a podcast discussion from a panel of experts.
