Page Title Heading Level 1

Summary text that informs a user of the content of the page briefly and ideally using non-technical jargon.

— Example of a basic paragraph block. Miss Watson she kept pecking at me, and it got tiresome and lonesome. I went up to my room with a piece of candle, and put it on the table.  Then I set down in a chair by the window and tried to think of something cheerful, but it warn’t no use.  I felt so lonesome I most wished I was dead. The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a whippowill and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die; and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn’t make out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me.

Example of linked text. Afterwards Jim said the witches be witched him and put him in a trance, and rode him all over the State, and then set him under the trees again, and hung his hat on a limb to show who done it.

1.1 Heading Level 1 Style 2

This heading style is used in longer pages that have many sections.

Heading Level 2

As soon as Tom was back we cut along the path, around the garden fence, and by and by fetched up on the steep top of the hill the other side of the house.  Tom said he slipped Jim’s hat off of his head and hung it on a limb right over him, and Jim stirred a little, but he didn’t wake. Afterwards Jim said the witches be witched him and put him in a trance, and rode him all over the State, and then set him under the trees again, and hung his hat on a limb to show who done it.

Linked Heading Level 2

We went to a clump of bushes, and Tom made everybody swear to keep the secret, and then showed them a hole in the hill, right in the thickest part of the bushes.  Then we lit the candles, and crawled in on our hands and knees.

Heading Level 3

Pap he hadn’t been seen for more than a year, and that was comfortable for me; I didn’t want to see him no more. He used to always whale me when he was sober and could get his hands on me; though I used to take to the woods most of the time when he was around.  Well, about this time he was found in the river drownded, about twelve mile above town, so people said.

Heading Level 4

Ben Rogers said he couldn’t get out much, only Sundays, and so he wanted to begin next Sunday; but all the boys said it would be wicked to do it on Sunday, and that settled the thing.  They agreed to get together and fix a day as soon as they could, and then we elected Tom Sawyer first captain and Jo Harper second captain of the Gang, and so started home.

And so, take it all around, we made a good haul. I paddled over to the Illinois shore, and drifted down most a half a mile doing it.  I crept up the dead water under the bank, and hadn’t no accidents and didn’t see nobody.  We got home all safe.

The first, named Comparing Outcomes of Drugs and Appendectomy (CODA), will measure both clinical outcomes and the patient-reported outcomes that matter most to patients. Led by David Reed Flum, MD, MPH, from the University of Washington, the project plans to enroll 1,552 adult patients with uncomplicated appendicitis. The largest professional societies of US surgeons and emergency medicine clinicians are partners in this five-year project and plan to incorporate the results into practice guidelines and educational materials.

The second study, called Multi-Institutional Trial of Non-Operative Management of Uncomplicated Pediatric Appendicitis, will test a nonsurgical approach in children. Families of 908 children will choose one of two treatment options for their child. This research plan was recommended by the project’s stakeholder partners, including patients, caregivers, pediatricians, emergency medicine physicians, surgeons, nurses, patient educators, hospital and insurance company administrators, and pediatric surgery leaders from professional societies. The researchers, led by Peter Minneci, MD, of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, and their stakeholder partners selected as outcomes the amount of time a child misses from everyday activities and the clinical success of antibiotics alone, evaluated after a year.

Aubrey Gibson describes her experience in the project as highly positive. “Before this, I would not have chosen to have my child involved in any kind of a research project or unproven treatment,” she says. But because of the project, her 10-year-old son, Liam, is participating in a study of contact lenses to slow the development of nearsightedness, and Aria, now 13, wants to go into medicine.

“I can’t emphasize enough how much the stakeholders affected each aspect of this project.”

Katherine Deans, MD 
Pediatric Surgeon, Nationwide Children's Hospital

Deans and Minneci are proud to helm a project that has engaged patients and other healthcare stakeholders so thoroughly throughout. The researchers expect the stakeholder involvement to increase the chance that if the app succeeds, it will become part of medical practice.

“I can’t emphasize enough how much the stakeholders affected each aspect of this project.”

Katherine Deans, MD 
Pediatric Surgeon, Nationwide Children's Hospital

“There are so many studies where something is statistically significant, but it isn’t put into practice because patients or doctors don’t like it. The most rewarding thing about this research is that you have taken care of that from the start,” Deans says. “I can’t emphasize enough how much the stakeholders affected each aspect of this project.”

Healthcare Delivery and Disparities Research

Addressing Disparities and Improving Healthcare Systems are two of PCORI’s five National Priorities for Research. These priorities come together in the Healthcare Delivery and Disparities Research (HDDR) program, which focuses on comparing patient-centered approaches to improve the equitability, effectiveness, and efficiency of care.

Very Little Content

Some words.

Engagement

Bringing together all healthcare stakeholders—with patients at the center—to help set research priorities and evaluate applications is our formula for ensuring we fund and conduct the most relevant research. We believe that inclusion of patients and other stakeholders in the research process, from topic selection through dissemination and implementation of results, will lead to trustworthy and usable information likely to be taken up in practice.

Footnotes

Available at http://pcori.org/assets/2013/11/PCORI-Methodology-Report.pdf/.

The intent of the SAC described in the PFA is to ensure that a broad spectrum of patients and other stakeholders advise and assist the research team with refining the study questions, outcomes, and protocols. These patients and other stakeholders must include national or regional organizations that represent—at a minimum—patients, caregivers, clinicians, policy makers, and other healthcare system stakeholders. PCORI may recommend additional representation in collaboration with the applicant, including individual patients with lived experience and other relevant stakeholders, such as scientific and methodological experts. However, PCORI understands that engagement structures and approaches vary widely. Other engagement approaches, such as forming stakeholder groups, panels, task forces, working groups, and other bodies, or involving individual patient and other stakeholder partners in various ways are also permissible to employ—either in addition to or instead of—the formation of the SAC. The SAC provision is not meant to require that a separate governance or advisory entity be established beyond the study governance and advisory structure the awardee has planned, if an applicant already has an approach for including the relevant and required patient and other stakeholder partners. For clarification in your application materials and for merit review purposes, please indicate which body or structure is filling the SAC requirements, including the requirements for in-person meetings at least two times per year and appropriate budgeting.
