(Press-News.org) WASHINGTON, DC – The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) today kicked off a multiyear initiative with an initial investment of $50 million to advance the uptake of practice-changing comparative clinical effectiveness research results into health care practice with the selection of 42 U.S. health systems to participate in its groundbreaking Health Systems Implementation Initiative (HSII). In addition, PCORI initiated the first in two stages of HSII funding, focusing on initial capacity-building efforts.
The array of participating health systems representing a wide range of care settings and populations will develop and implement viable strategies to actively advance the adoption of new evidence in health care delivery. PCORI’s unique approach of supporting health systems directly in dissemination and implementation expands the organization’s work in this area and demonstrates its leadership in efforts to cut the estimated 17-year lag between the publication of results and their uptake in practice.
“Comparative clinical effectiveness research produces actionable information that helps people make informed health care choices and improve their outcomes, but even the best evidence only works if clinicians and health systems are aware of it and can use it,” said PCORI Executive Director Nakela L. Cook, M.D. M.P.H. “Leveraging health systems’ on-the-ground knowledge and experience in care delivery will enhance PCORI’s efforts to implement practice-changing findings in clinical care and accelerate sustainable and scalable efforts to support lasting changes.”
In addition to announcing participants, PCORI has opened the first HSII funding opportunity for participating health systems to propose capacity-building projects, with awards to be announced this summer. Each participating health system can receive up to $500,000 for a project that supports preparation for future implementation strategies and program evaluation. Subsequent HSII funding opportunities will support innovative implementation projects that promote the uptake of specific evidence from PCORI-funded research studies within the health systems, with funds ranging from $500,000 to $5 million per project.
HSII participants collectively represent 800 hospitals serving 79 million unique patients—nearly a quarter of the U.S. population—across 41 states and the District of Columbia. They include academic medical centers, community-based systems, integrated health care delivery and finance systems, safety net health systems, faith-based systems, public health care delivery systems, and a medical center within the Veterans Health Administration. HSII participants are:

HSII participants will collaborate in a learning network established by PCORI to share experiences and learn from one another about best practices for implementation, evaluation metrics and other topics integral to the initiative’s success. Through the network, PCORI will seek input from network participants on topics and specific findings from PCORI-funded studies that are of interest for future implementation projects.
“HSII provides a unique opportunity for participant health systems with a wide range of capacities and patient populations to adopt evidence-based, care-transforming approaches,” said Harv Feldman, M.D., MSCE, PCORI’s deputy executive director for patient-centered research programs. “The vital financial and peer support provided through HSII will not only facilitate the uptake of useful evidence that can improve patient outcomes, but also lay the groundwork for future, nationwide scale-up of successful implementation approaches.”

Robot provides unprecedented views below Antarctic ice shelf
2023-03-02
High in a narrow, seawater-filled crevasse in the base of Antarctica’s largest ice shelf, cameras on the remotely operated Icefin underwater vehicle relayed a sudden change in scenery.
Walls of smooth, cloudy meteoric ice suddenly turned green and rougher in texture, transitioning to salty marine ice.
Nearly 1,900 feet above, near where the surface of the Ross Ice Shelf meets Kamb Ice Stream, a U.S.-New Zealand research team recognized the shift as evidence of “ice pumping” – a process never before directly observed in an ice shelf crevasse, important to its stability.
“We were looking at ice that ...
New MIT Sloan research finds Americans are more receptive to counter-partisan messages than previously thought
2023-03-02
Party loyalty and partisan motivation may interfere less with Americans’ thinking than previously believed, MIT behavioral researchers Ben M. Tappin, Adam J. Berinsky, and David G. Rand report in new research published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.
The study, which looked at how Democrats and Republicans react to persuasive messaging that doesn't align with their party leader’s position, challenges the view that party loyalty distorts how Americans process evidence and arguments.
“Our results are clear and unequivocal: Learning the in-party leader’s ...
Wisconsin cave holds tantalizing clues to ancient climate changes, future shifts
2023-03-02
Even in their dark isolation from the atmosphere above, caves can hold a rich archive of local climate conditions and how they've shifted over the eons. Formed over tens of thousands of years, speleothems — rock formations unique to caves better known as stalagmites and stalactites — hold secrets to the ancient environments from which they formed.
A newly published study of a stalagmite found in a cave in southern Wisconsin reveals previously undetected history of the local climate going back thousands of years. The new findings provide strong ...
Getting drugs across the blood-brain barrier using nanoparticles

• A new method using nanoparticles transported drugs across this barrier in mice.
• The nanoparticles target a protein on tumor blood vessel cells called P-selectin.
• The nanoparticles improved the treatment in a model of aggressive pediatric brain cancer
Brain tumors are notoriously hard to treat. One reason is the challenge posed by the blood-brain barrier, a network of blood vessels and tissue with closely spaced cells. The barrier forms a tight seal to protect ...
Insights into the evolution of the sense of fairness
2023-03-02
Göttingen, March 2, 2023. A sense of fairness has long been considered purely human – but animals also react with frustration when they are treated unequally by a person. For instance, a well-known video shows monkeys throwing the offered cucumber at their trainer when a conspecific receives sweet grapes as a reward for the same task. Meanwhile, researchers have observed similarly frustrated reactions to unfair rewards in wolves, rats and crows. However, researchers still debate the reasons for this behavior: Does the frustration really stem from a dislike of unequal treatment, or is there another explanation? In a study with long-tailed ...
Security vulnerabilities detected in drones made by DJI
2023-03-02
Researchers from Bochum and Saarbrücken have detected security vulnerabilities, some of them serious, in several drones made by the manufacturer DJI. These enable users, for example, to change a drone’s serial number or override the mechanisms that allow security authorities to track the drones and their pilots. In special attack scenarios, the drones can even be brought down remotely in flight.
The team headed by Nico Schiller of the Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security at Ruhr University Bochum, ...
Coastal water pollution transfers to the air in sea spray aerosol and reaches people on land
2023-03-02
New research led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has confirmed that coastal water pollution transfers to the atmosphere in sea spray aerosol, which can reach people beyond just beachgoers, surfers, and swimmers.
Rainfall in the US-Mexico border region causes complications for wastewater treatment and results in untreated sewage being diverted into the Tijuana River and flowing into the ocean in south Imperial Beach. This input of contaminated water has caused chronic coastal water pollution in Imperial ...
A bridge between hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of flax fiber: A breakthrough in the multipurpose oil-water separation field
2023-03-02
The large number of oily wastewater discharges and oil spills are bringing about severe threats to environment and human health. Corresponding to this challenge, a number of functional materials have been developed and applied in oil-water separation as oil barriers or oil sorbents. These materials can be divided into two main categories which are artificial and natural.
Natural materials such as green bio-materials are generally low cost and abundant with biological degradability, which are also regarded as promising alternatives for oil-water separation ...
CityU scholars unify color systems using prime numbers
2023-03-02
Existing colour systems, such as RGB and CYMK, are all text-based and require a large range of values to represent different colours, making them difficult to compute and time-consuming to convert. Recently, researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) made a breakthrough by inventing an innovative colour system, called “C235”, based on prime numbers, enabling efficient encoding and effective colour compression. It can unify existing colour systems and has the potential to be applied in various applications, like designing an energy-saving LCD system and colourizing DNA codons.
