Complete materials are now available from the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory’s recent workshop, “Driving Tomorrow’s Outcomes Through Clinical Research in Real-World Settings.“

The 2-day workshop, held in June at the 2023 AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting in Seattle, introduced concepts in the design, conduct, and implementation of pragmatic clinical trials embedded in healthcare systems, with a focus on methods relevant to health services researchers. Presenters shared firsthand experiences and case studies from the NIH Collaboratory Trials.

The learning objectives of the workshop included:

• To clarify the definition of embedded pragmatic clinical trials and explain their utility.
• To introduce attendees to the unique characteristics and challenges of designing, conducting, and implementing these trials within diverse healthcare systems.
• To increase the capacity of health services researchers to address important clinical questions with pragmatic trials in real-world settings, driving tomorrow’s research outcomes.
