Abstract 142: Engaging Patients Throughout the Health System: A Landscape Analysis of Top Research Institutions and Cold Call Policies [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusion: The approach to engaging patients in large, research intensive health systems varies significantly. As healthcare has evolved with more virtual visits, team-based care or system-based care, the engagement of potential research participants should similarly evolve while preserving patient privacy and autonomy. Potential solutions include opt-in or opt-out approaches for future contact, replacement of cold call policies with best practices, or a team based collaborative approach between physicians and researchers to guide recruitment decisions.
