Can simple questions change healthcare? Research priorities
The Scientific Method for Research Prioritization: How do researchers ask questions, identify gaps, and prioritize topics for new research? Through this process, simple research questions can change healthcare, improving outcomes for patients. Stakeholder priority is assessed via surveys and other engagement methods. Systematic reviews are carried out to assess the evidence. Visualization, e.g., with bubble charts, can highlight key areas where further research is needed, based on current evidence, stakeholder priority, and disease burden.
