The Greater Plains Collaborative Clinical Data Research Network held a gathering of patients, patient advocates, caregivers and industry payors, along with the academic leaders from each GPC site, in Kansas City on October 1st & 2nd, 2015. It was an opportunity for the patients and other non-academics to learn about the PCORnet, the CDRN program, and the GPC and have face-to-face time with representatives from across the GPC. We learned from LEK 2014 that LEK attendees who subsequently became involved in other GPC activities and governance more fully understood what PCORnet is all about, which is critical for full participation and contribution.
