Patients as co-creators in patient-focused information design: Sounds like the right thing to do. In research funded by the VA, Fix et al (2024) examined best practices for engaging patients in developing patient-facing shared-decision making materials for lung cancer screening. Shared decision making involves collaborative discussion between a patient and their provider. Information and resources to support these dialogues should be co-created with patients, to ensure patient perspectives inform design. "You need to put a lot of conscious effort into breaking down the power dynamics" between patients and providers/researchers when working in patient-focused research, the authors observed. A powerful recommendation from this research comes from the researchers' conclusion that leveling power dynamics in the research process is critical: When taking notes in a room of patients who are sharing their voices and perspectives, use a blank, shared screen to show what notes are being made, for transparency and trust. This table shows several of their suggestions. https://lnkd.in/g4iQmx9u #CME #CE #Patienteducation #SDM #Medsoc

It's time to bring cancer observational studies out of the "Excel era" and into a modern technology landscape that eliminates manual data management—allowing researchers to shift their focus from tedious data tasks to more meaningful work, such as engaging participants and enhancing study enrollment.

Transforming cancer research by moving away from manual data management is a game changer. The American Cancer Society's approach with the VOICES study is a prime example of how a modern, purpose-built platform can enable researchers to focus on what truly matters—improving participant engagement and study outcomes. #CancerResearch #DataManagement #AI #MultimodalData #FasterTogether

Very excited about participating in this upcoming Friends of Cancer Research virtual meeting on Enhancing Diversity in Clinical Trials through Implementation of FDA Diversity Plans. During this meeting, my fellow panelists and I will discuss important considerations around leveraging different data sources for establishing equitable trial enrollment goals. Looking forward to this timely and impactful discussion! #healthequity #clinicaltrials #realworlddata #realworldevidence

Thank you Ed Kim for sharing your insights on Enhancing Diversity in Clinical Trials: Implementation of Diversity Plans (Friends of Cancer Research)  meeting today. Your point on the need for more accessible options for underrepresented patients to participate in clinical trials is crucial. It's important that we find ways to make the process easier and more inclusive for everyone. What do you think are some easy buttons that could be implemented to help underrepresented patients get involved in clinical trials? Let's continue this conversation and work towards increasing diversity and representation in clinical trials. #diversetrials #clinicaltrials

Clinical Trials Day, May 20 Today we celebrate the scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals who make clinical trials possible. With deep gratitude, we honor every individual who has participated in these trials, contributing to medical advancements and a healthier future for all. Whether you are a participant, researcher, or sponsor, your participation is invaluable. Together at King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center we are aiming for a brighter tomorrow.
