Many federal funding and regulatory agencies require patient engagement to conduct patient-centered research and drug development. We developed a liver transplantation patient-engagement program, which can serve as a model for bringing the patient perspective to digestive diseases research.
Six liver transplantation patient-engagement program advisors completed training in patient engagement; participated in several virtual sessions; and completed postsession surveys.
Qualitative and quantitative results elucidated patient-centered liver transplantation study outcomes and barriers/facilitators to conducting clinical research. Group satisfaction was very high.
The liver transplantation patient-engagement program model provides a paradigm for how to engage patients in the formative steps of patient-centered clinical research.
许多联邦资助和监管机构要求患者参与，以进行以患者为中心的研究和药物开发。我们开发了一个肝移植患者参与计划，该计划可以作为将患者视角引入消化疾病研究的模式。
六名肝移植患者参与计划顾问完成了患者参与培训；参加了几次虚拟会议；并完成了会议后的调查。
定性和定量结果阐明了以患者为中心的肝移植研究结果，以及开展临床研究的障碍/促进因素。小组满意度非常高。
肝移植患者参与计划模式提供了一个范例，说明如何让患者参与以患者为中心的临床研究的形成阶段。
