#604.1: Trial Navigator: Sponsors and Payors Discuss a Collaborative Non-Profit Recruitment Model to Better Connect Patients to Trials
Wednesday June 17, 2026 10:15am - 11:30am EDT
Component Type: Forum
Level: Basic

Despite major investment, trial enrollment remains a system failure. Could a collaborative model align sponsors and payors – those who run trials & those with patient populations – via shared infrastructure and trusted human navigators? Help shape it.

Learning Objectives

Diagnose enrollment challenges as a system-level coordination failure; Outline shared values and differentiate value across sponsors, payors, and patients; Identify opportunities to enhance trust and build collaborative infrastructure (core governance, incentives, data); Apply cross-sector and emerging data collaboration lessons to pilot and scale solutions.

#609: Decision Under Uncertainty
Wednesday June 17, 2026 10:15am - 11:30am EDT
Component Type: Workshop
Level: Basic
CE: ACPE 1.25 Application UAN: 0286-0000-26-603-L04-P; CME 1.25; PDU 1.25 PMI 2166LODLKY; RN 1.25

In this interactive workshop, participants will participate in an interactive, case-based racing simulation that places participants in a high-pressure “go/no-go” decision before the most important race of the season. This is one of Harvard's case studies most commonly used in business school programs. In this simulation, participants decide whether to race in a high-stakes event, balancing technical risks, financial pressures, and limited data, highlighting decision-making under uncertainty. The exercise addresses key issues in decision-making under uncertainty and bias without awareness under time and stakeholder pressure. Upon conclusion of the exercise, participants report increased awareness of decision drivers, stronger analytical skills, and strategies to mitigate bias.

Learning Objectives

Demonstrate teamwork and communication under time constraints; Identify biases when making decisions under financial pressure; Assess technical, financial, and reputational risks in complex business situations.
