PCC submits comments responding to AHRQ's proposed research framework

On April 21, 2022, PCC responded to a request for information on AHRQ's Proposed Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund Strategic Framework. PCC provided several specific comments on AHRQ’s proposed framework and offered recommendations to ensure primary care research is foundational.

Some of the major topic areas addressed in the letter include ensuring research aligns with the Shared Principles of Primary Care, including research on primary care accessibility and team collaboration. Other research should focus on value-based payment models, health professions education, provider wellbeing and retention, and strengthening primary care research infrastructure.
