External Facilitation When Implementing Complex Interventions for Integrated Care: A Realist Synthesis
Background and aim. Implementing complex interventions for integrated care often presents significant challenges in achieving the expected results. The involvement of external facilitators who provide training and support for healthcare providers and managers can strengthen implementation strategies, foster cooperation among diverse partners, and ultimately improve the patient experience of integrated care. However, the mechanisms occurring durin…
Elicit an initial program theory on the scale-up of integrated care programs: First step of a realist synthesis
Background: Realist synthesis is a comprehensive method of review for evaluating complex programs such as integrated models of care. The first step of the synthesis is to clarify the scope of the review and to explore existing theories in the literature related to targeted programs. The aim is to elicit an initial program theory in the form of context (C), mechanism (M) and outcome (O) configurations, which serve as a reference model for data col…
Case management for individuals with complex care needs: Factors assisting and hindering implementation
Introduction: Case management (CM) is an effective integrated model of care for patients with chronic conditions and complex care needs, given the focus on improving patient engagement in healthcare and improving self-management skills. While CM often leads to positive outcomes, little is known about the factors which promote or hinder implementation. Objective: This study seeks to examine factors which facilitated and hindered the implementation…
Patient engagement in health implementation research: A logic model
INTRODUCTION: Growing evidence supports patient engagement (PE) in health implementation research to improve the quality, relevance and uptake of research. However, more guidance is needed to plan and operationalize PE before and throughout the research process. The aim of the study was to develop a logic model illustrating the causal links between context, resources, activities, outcomes and impact of PE in an implementation research programme. …
Reconciling validity and challenges of patient comfort and understanding: Guidelines to patient‐oriented questionnaires
BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely recognized as important tools for achieving a patient-centred approach in health research. While PROMs are subject to several stages of validation during development, even questionnaires with robust psychometric properties may challenge patient comfort and understanding. AIM: Building on the experience of patient engagement in the PriCARE research programme, this paper outlines the …
Patient and researcher experiences of patient engagement in primary care health care research: A participatory qualitative study
BACKGROUND: Studies have highlighted common challenges and barriers to patient engagement in research, but most were based on patient partners' or academic researchers' experiences. A better understanding of how both groups differentially experience their partnership could help identify strategies to improve collaboration in patient engagement research. AIM: This study aimed to describe and compare patient partners' and academic researchers' expe…
Planning the Evaluation of Patient Engagement in the PriCare Research Program
The involvement of patients, their families, or their representatives is becoming increasingly common in health-care research. However, theoretical justification of patient engagement (PE) and consistent guidance on how to include patients as key stakeholders on research teams are still lacking. This paper describes how the PriCare group integrates PE into its program’s governance structure and uses a program logic perspective to engage patients …
