 PATIENT OUTCOMES The proposed projects explicit focus on examining the PAE activities of ACO practices with highly developed PAE activities in comparison with those with very little and linking these to the outcomes measures noted above should be of great interest to patients, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute PCORI, and the health care policy and practitioner community. The findings should help to guide PCORIs future research agenda in this area while providing all involved with knowledge to advance patient-centered care.
