Patients as partners in health research
An Implementation Science Laboratory as One Approach to Whole System Improvement
Implementation science (IS) has emerged as an integral component for evidence-based whole system improvement. IS studies the best methods to promote the systematic uptake of evidence-based interventions into routine practice to improve the quality and effectiveness of health service delivery and patient care. IS laboratories (IS labs) are one mechanism to integrate implementation science as an evidence-based approach to whole system improvement a…
Exploring patient centredness, communication and shared decision‐making under a new model of care
Patient-centred care and patient engagement in healthcare and health research are widely mandated by funders, health systems and institutions. Increasingly, shared decision-making (SDM) is recognised as promoting patient-centred care. We explore this relationship by studying SDM in the context of integrating novel patient-centred policies in community rehabilitation. There is little research on SDM in rehabilitation, and less so in the critical c…
The voice of patients in system redesign
BACKGROUND: The published literature demands examples of health-care systems designed with the active engagement of patients to explore the application of this complex phenomenon in practice. METHODS: This case study explored how the voice of patients was incorporated into the process of redesigning an element of the health-care system, a centralized system for intake of referrals from primary care to rheumatologists for patients with suspected r…
“Part of the Team”
BACKGROUND: to find new ways to engage patients in a new interdisciplinary organization to support evidence-informed improvements in clinical outcomes across the health system. OBJECTIVE: Implement and test a new research method and training curriculum to build patient capacity for engagement in health through peer-to-peer research. DESIGN: Programme evaluation using Outcome Mapping and the grounded theory method. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Twenty…
