PCOR PPT
- 1. Aspects ofOutcomes Research Helpful and not so helpful information
- 2. Outcomes Research Examines end results of health services on individuals Intended to provide scientific evidence relating to decisions made by all who participate in health care Considers patient values and preferences Outcomes based measurements are used to establish evidence- based practice (Schmidt & Brown, 2015).
- 3. Patient- Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) PCOR compares the impact of two or more preventative, diagnostic, treatment, or health care delivery approaches on health outcomes, including those that are meaningful to patients("PCOR at AHQR," n.d.). AHQR accepts nominations of patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) with the potential to advance patient health outcomes for future implementation ("PCOR at AHQR," n.d.). All nominations are available to the public. Anyone can submit nominations.
- 4. PCOR Trust Fund It takes 17 years for evidence to be adopted into practice according to the IOM ("PCOR at AHQR," n.d.).. AHQR is seeking to fill the gap by investing in disseminating PCOR findings from Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and other government funded entities ("PCOR at AHQR," n.d.).
- 5. Dissemination of PCOR AHQR ensures results are understood through a three step process: Synthesis of research to establish evidence Translation and communication of evidence through development of tools, training, and outreach Support of health systems and providers in implementing evidence into practice ("PCOR at AHQR," n.d.).
- 6. Infrastructure Development Funds are allocated to support the development of PCOR in facilities that need focused support and are emerging centers of excellence located in geographic areas that lack capacity and predominately serve minority populations ("PCOR at AHQR," n.d.).
- 7. Evidence Synthesis Evaluates all relevant studies on a particular clinical topic to clarify what is known versus gaps in evidence. Evidence synthesis builds on previous research and produces useful information within 1-2 years instead of 3-5 years ("Evidence Synthesis," 2016). PCORI’s first systematic reviews will include: A-fib PTSD Rheumatoid arthritis Urinary incontinence
- 8. Study Spotlight Diabetes research RCT in diabetes prevention found metformin reduced progression of prediabetes to diabetes Higher-risk participants received greatest benefit with use of metformin. Lowest risk did not benefit ("Evidence Synthesis," 2016).
- 9. Study Spotlight Lupus treatment options Lupus can lead to kidney failure if not treated early with strong medications Immunosuppressive drugs are better than corticosteroids in treating kidney inflammation for patient with lupus ("Evidence Synthesis," 2016).
