In a new episode of the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory Podcast, Rich Platt, Hayden Bosworth, and Greg Simon of the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory discuss their JAMA Viewpoint, “Making Pragmatic Clinical Trials More Pragmatic.”

Listen and subscribe to the podcast on SoundCloud or Apple Podcasts.

In the Viewpoint, the authors propose solutions to the discordance between the results of pragmatic trials and the implementation of those results in healthcare settings.

“I think one of the problems with our evidence generating process is that we may think that our
customers are grant review panels or maybe journal editors,” Platt notes in the podcast. “Those may be our short-term customers, but those are not our ultimate customers. Our ultimate customers are people who have to make decisions about healthcare,” he added.
