The Research Engagement for Better Understanding in Limb-Decision Making (REBUILD) program at the Missouri Orthopaedic Institute (MOI) brings together patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers to improve care for people with serious limb injuries.
REBUILD brings together patients and caregivers who have firsthand experience with serious limb injuries to help shape future research and improve care by ensuring research addresses the questions, priorities, and outcomes that matter most to patients and families.
REBUILD Advisory Team Objectives
The REBUILD Advisory Team is made up of patients and caregivers who have firsthand experience with serious limb injuries. Team members work alongside researchers to help shape the future of limb injury care by:
- Identifying the questions and challenges that matter most to patients and families.
- Providing input on how research studies are designed, conducted, and shared.
- Helping ensure research focuses on outcomes that are meaningful to patients.
- Learning about the research process and collaborating with clinicians, researchers, and other patient partners.
This program was partially funded through a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award (EACB-48453).
