Sharing our latest commentary published in Learning Health Systems, entitled "Landscape of informed consent practices and challenges in point-of-care clinical trials."

Importantly, we present technical and practical considerations for obtaining informed consent in point-of-care research intended to address important pharmacoepidemiologic questions regarding treatment effectiveness.
