AHRQ seeks comment on PCOR framework

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) seeks public comment on the proposed strategic framework for the agency’s Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Trust Fund investments through fiscal year 2029. AHRQ developed the framework in response to the fund’s reauthorization and will use the framework to guide future planning and evaluation of the fund’s investments. The draft framework identifies five priorities for advancing health care delivery and improving patient outcomes. These interrelated priorities are intended to achieve the vision of delivering equitable whole-person care across patients’ lifespans. AHRQ will accept comment received from the Federal Register Notice through April 19.
