While core outcome sets hold promise to standardize our understanding of treatment outcomes, challenges remain. The 2020 Measuring What Matters Symposium will include presentations from speakers familiar with developing, promoting, and using core outcomes sets, reflecting on the challenges that need to be addressed before the full value of COS can be realized.
