Integrating Clinical Trials and Practice: A New JAMA Series and Call for Papers.

JAMA: Journal of the American Medical Association has published a Special Communication titled "The Integration of Clinical Trials With the Practice of Medicine: Repairing a House Divided," which discusses the need to integrate clinical trials with clinical practice. The authors highlight the separate missions and infrastructures of clinical trialists and clinicians, leading to inefficiencies and limitations in trials. They propose solutions such as implementation science, novel statistical analysis approaches, and integration of trials with electronic health records. JAMA is launching a new series called "Integrating Clinical Trials and Practice" to explore innovations in trial design, funding, regulation, education, and application. The goal is to align clinical trials with clinical practice and improve patient care. [Extracted from the article]
