A "task-based" approach to patient involvement can help with the more technical aspects of health economics research. The Health Economics and MS (HEMS) patient involvement group was initially established to inform a specific aspect of a study that aimed to develop a preference-based measure of health-related quality of life for use with people with MS [13] . Where the research activity is more directed towards shedding light on "known unknowns", we have found that a task-based approach provides a useful framework for guiding detailed work on highly specific aspects of a study to generate "focused" impacts. We hope the PACTS Principles complement existing PPI approaches and frameworks and provide useful foundations for health economists when considering patient involvement, and will ultimately build towards the development of practical guidance for patient involvement in HE research.	./cache/cord-349057-u7u39jho.txt	./txt/cord-349057-u7u39jho.txt
