The HERO Study: Healthcare worker Exposure Response and Outcomes

5/17/2020

The Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is funding a research project called HERO (heroesresearch.org). This study addresses the needs of healthcare workers on the frontlines fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes all workers employed where patient care occurs.
HERO has 3 main goals:

To engage healthcare workers in studies to understand and improve their health and well-being
To facilitate enrollment into clinical studies to address unmet needs for healthcare workers –COVID-19 initially, other topics later
To enable high-quality rapid-cycle research studies that quickly deliver results back to healthcare workers across the nation

WHY & HOW TO SIGN UP

A major Stanford engagement could be helpful to understand the impact and burden the pandemic has had on healthcare workers nationally and locally. It will allow you to contribute your experiences and challenges to better inform future research projects.

Stanford Medicine leadership is not involved in the study and your participation is entirely voluntary.
There is no cost to join and it takes only a few minutes to sign up. You can use a work email address, Gmail address, or another email address: heroesresearch.org

Thanks for all you are doing to care for our patients.
