Goal #4: Improve clinical research

Mayo Clinic Proceedings published a comprehensive series, "Forward Thinking on Clinical Trials in Clinical Practice," from August 2023 through April 2024. The series explores:<ul><li>Pragmatic clinical trials, which consider how an intervention may affect a patient's condition in the real world, and how to effectively use these interventions in clinical practice.</li><li>Decentralized clinical trials, made possible by new technology that improves the experience for participants, expedites results and may reduce costs.</li><li>Community engagement with minority and underserved populations, to assure the diversity of participants and improve the accuracy and relevance of results.</li><li>How to counter health inequities through technological and research design innovations.</li><li>Ethical and regulatory challenges of emerging health data platforms…</li></ul>&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-proceedings-explores-digital-transformation-of-clinical-trials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
