Stronger together: Patient engagement and integration of PROs in pediatric clinical practice and research prioritization

This final session of the 2022 Measuring What Matters Symposium will provide case-studies of

  1. engagement of children and caregivers in the co-design of an ePRO solution in clinical care in a children’s hospital in Calgary, Alberta, Canada;
  2. implementation of ePROs in clinical care, the KLIK in the Netherlands;
  3. illustrative example of the assembly of a youth panel for research prioritization and design.

It is anticipated that there will be a youth partner in attendance to describe their experiences.
