Takeaways From Our Twitter Chat With PCORI

Recently, we at Health Affairs hosted a Twitter chat with the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) on the topic of patients' use of evidence. The chat was a follow-up to the Health Affairs issue, "Patients' and Consumers' Use of Evidence."

During the Twitter chat, we moderated a question-and-answer session with PCORI's Joanna Siegel, Director of Dissemination and Implementation.

Here's how PCORI describes "engagement in research."
