“What we saw during COVID-19, which we still see at this moment, is a radicalization of this workforce — they have to fight not only for the public, but really to protect their very lives,” said Michelle Mahon, director of nursing practice for National Nurses United.

Members of the #ISOQOL_CP and #ISOQOL_PE discuss three case studies from the UK, USA, Australia collated to explore how adherence to PROMs can be evaluated and understood

Focusing on #HelthCare systems, patients, clinical teams, and #QualityImprovement in measurement, the authors derive nine key recommendations for future research and practice (Table 3):

SpringerLinkPatient adherence to patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) completion in clinical care: current understanding and future recommendations - Quality of Life ResearchBackground Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly being used as an assessment and monitoring tool in clinical practice. However, patient adherence to PROMs completions are typically not well documented or explained in published studies and reports. Through a collaboration between the International Society for Quality-of-Life Research (ISOQOL) Patient Engagement and QOL in Clinical Practice Special Interest Groups (SIGs) case studies were collated as a platform to explore how adherence can be evaluated and understood. Case studies were drawn from across a range of clinically and methodologically diverse PROMs activities. Results The case studies identified that the influences on PROMs adherence vary. Key drivers include PROMs administeration methods within a service and wider system, patient capacity to engage and clinician engagement with PROMs information. It was identified that it is important to evaluate PROMs integration and adherence from multiple perspectives. Conclusion PROM completion rates are an important indicator of patient adherence. Future research prioritizing an understanding of PROMs completion rates by patients is needed.

That’s 3 times in one week that I’ve heard healthcare leaders say “quality improvement in healthcare is like building the plane while flying it”.
Really? Is that the best we can do?
I don’t think that approach works in aviation, why would it work for healthcare? (And why do we keep attempting to draw parallels b/w healthcare & aviation anyway?)
Not sure how keen I am about being on a plane that’s being built while it’s flying - as a passenger or as an employee.

It is unclear what to routinely report to executive boards of UK #MentalHealth Trust to give an organisation-wide picture that offers accountability and feedback for advancing #QualityImprovement practice.

This pilot study retrospectively analysed 52 purposively sampled QI projects (out of 200 conducted 2016-18 in a #NHS Trust) to develop content for such routine reporting:

I teach based on lessons learned from watching physicians and scientists and talking with them. I’ve found disagreements on what people consider advocacy involving the negative definition.

Is dissemination of information advocacy? Or is a different? Does the audience matter?

is taught separately but is it separate? Where is the line between and advocacy? Is and advocacy?

I’d love to hear what you think
