Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)

PCORI is authorized by Congress to conduct research to provide information about the best-available evidence to help patients and their health care providers make better-informed health and healthcare decisions. PCORI’s research, which is guided by input from stakeholders across the healthcare community, is intended to give patients and those who care for them with a better understanding of the prevention, treatment and care options available, and the science that supports those options. PCORI is committed to improving health by substantially increasing the quantity, quality, and timeliness of useful, trustworthy information available to support health decisions; speeding the implementation of patient-centered knowledge into practice; and influencing clinical and health care research funded by others to be more patient-centered.
