The goal of the Forum was to familiarize a diverse group of medical device stakeholders with key concepts and considerations for successful communication with patients about benefits, risks, and uncertainty associated with the use of medical devices. Additionally, participants had the opportunity to learn directly from individual patients with diabetes, arthritis, chronic pain, and cardiovascular disease about their experiences with medical devices and the quest for information about how these products would impact their health and their overall lives. This input helped participants work together to design sample communications to illustrate the various best practice recommendations from MDIC\u2019s Best Practices for Communicating Benefit, Risk, and Uncertainty Report<\/a> (Communication Report). Patients may find this material useful to understand how various stakeholders approach and communicate the important concepts of benefit, risk, and uncertainty relating to use of medical devices.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h3>\n

MDIC\u2019s November 18, 2020 Patient Engagement Forum engaged approximately 100 participants, including patients, patient advocates, medical device leaders, regulators, healthcare providers, payers, and experts in communication and shared decision-making. Participants joined in a day-long, interactive meeting focused on communicating benefit, risk, and uncertainty for medical devices. Content for the Forum included presentations, panel discussions, and interactive activities inspired by the best practices and examples contained within the recently released MDIC Best Practices for Communicating Benefit, Risk, and Uncertainty Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overall, this event offered the medical device community a platform from which to evaluate current communications efforts, identify gaps, and prioritize additional needs for advancing progress on this topic. Key lessons learned and themes emerging from the Forum provide the foundation for this report.<\/a><\/p>\n
