Minutes of GPC-Engagement Teleconference Call, 9:00 AM May 6th 2014. Dr. Lauren 
Aaronson hosting

Full roster needed of main lead at each site, so we can get it out to everyone. 
9AM on 1st Tuesday of Month is the best option for Monthly conference call for 
the majority. Need monthly 1 hour call to ensure milestones of the GPC are met. 
We will re-send the Doodle Poll (DP) for everyone to fill in. Maybe some didn't 
see it. Want to include everyone.

Cheryl Jernigan introduced as our rep on the National Patient Engagement Task 
Force.

An agenda will be sent out ahead of time for future calls.

Need to find out a number of items from each site. Do you have an existing 
patient panel or advisory group? What is the structure you currently have in 
place for finding a pt voice.

A Milestone that we need to meet is having a mechanism for reaching out into pt 
community for a voice.

Boot Camp in August. Bring together reps from each site. Lead PE and a couple 
of pts from existing panel or advisory grps. Educational and networking 
opportunities. Discuss lofty goals that PCORNet has for us.
There has been discussion of a possible disease grps and pts meeting at same 
event.

DH from Minnesota. What are the Milestones coming up this Summer. 4.6 - 
Description of patient roles and responsibilities in governance is developed 
and submitted to PCORI. 4.7 - Approaches to enhancing patient involvement in 
governance are developed and submitted to PCORI. Both are due June 2014. We 
will have one more conference call before this date.

These milestones fit with each site identifying grp in place or how we will 
establish one at each site so we can call on when a need arises. Cheryl is one 
pt rep, but need a much broader involvement. Each site to send us a description 
of what they have in place. Andrea asking if we are asking about a GPC group in 
particular or a pt group in general? Don't want to reinvent the wheel. Most 
sites have CTSA CPH in place.

DH in Minnesota has one in place but not specific for these conditions or 
diseases. Do we need one? Some of the time we may think yes, some of the time 
it is no! It would be good if we could have pts from all 3 grps. Maybe start 
with a generic one 1st, then see if we can reach into the community for the 
disease cohorts.

Edith - send out a request of what we want. Many sites may not be up to speed.

Message to send out this week or next asking for specific info from each site. 
Need to reach out to other sites - no response to phone call or DP. Program 
manager at each site to help as the point contact to identify who to contact.
KK - 2 asks for info. Governance rep from pts at each site. Nature of the PE 
activities that would be site specific. Easier for all to respond to survey 
monkey or an email in narrative form? BG at Marshfield - if questions are clear 
then DP, if ambiguous then an email. Open ended questions of the group. Andrea 
agrees. Different programs. Richer info. KK to put email together.

Bob - discussions on PCORNet calls. Demonstrate a multi-site trial. Pts and 
providers involved in this. Does KS have asks for the group for the trial. LSA 
- each site will hear from us about how each site will be involved locally. ALS 
group furthest along. Not sure how far along that is.

Boot Camp meeting in KC on Monday August 18th. When we send out email next 
week, we will ask for ideas for best use of time at this for pt leads and pt 
reps from each site. Need some education/common ground/content for pt reps as 
we go forward with the GPC.

Edith says this 1st conference call has been helpful.

For the Boot Camp, assume PE folks would come in on the Sunday night and have 
all day meeting on the Monday. In the email going out, we will ask to hold 
dates and to share with whom you think should participate. Email will also ask 
for broad based questions on current activities around PE, if you have standing 
committees, community or pt advisory boards. High level ask of summarizing what 
resources you have. Also probe a bit on the governance issue and the project 
related input issue for your preferences on how to move ahead with that. Need 
to put some structure on this. Struggling to do that when we're all pretty 
foggy. Try to get that out by the end of this week or beginning of next week.

Need to reach out to individual sites where we don't have a rep yet or who 
couldn't be on the call. We will catch them up on what we discussed.

Really want to bring patients and clinicians together at the August meeting.

Thanks to all.

Call ended at ~ 9:37 AM
