<p>How do we engage patients, community partners, clinicians, policy makers, researchers, and government agencies?\</p><p>In this episode of <em>The Bridge</em>, we dive into the PATIENTS Program’s 10-Step Framework for Continuous Engagement — a model designed to ensure patients, caregivers, and community members have a meaningful voice in health care research. PATIENTS Programs Executive Director Daniel Mullins and Director of Methodological Research and Evaluation Hillary Edwards discuss how the framework guides projects from planning and trust-building to data collection,interpretation, dissemination, and reflection, all while centering lived experience at every stage. The conversation explores why community-engaged research creates stronger, more impactful outcomes and how the framework has evolved into a flexible, continuous cycle of partnership and collaboration.
