Knowledge translation of health outcome measurement research into clinical practice to improve healthcare effectiveness and efficiency in a Prevention and Early Active Return-to-work Safely (PEARS) Program
Funding Agency: OHSAH, Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, WorkSafe BC (MSFHR Training Grant)
Start Date: April 2007
Objective:
- To identify the barriers and facilitators to implementation of an outcome measurement and evaluation system. This system is based on self-report disability questionnaires.
- To document attitudes regarding this system and details around how it is used – this line of inquiry is being taken due to program changes that precluded implementing the intervention and follow-up phases.
- To conduct interviews with stakeholders, researchers, Health Authority representatives and Research Ethics Board Representatives to explore challenges with the implementation of health research studies across multiple Health Authorities.
- To make recommendations to address barriers to implementation of health research studies across multiple Health Authorities in BC.
Stakeholders: PEARS Programs, Steering Committees, Participants, Health Authorities and Healthcare Unions
