- 2. + What is Outcomes Research? Outcomes research examines the end results of health services on individuals as intended to provide scientific evidence relating to decisions made by all that participate in healthcare. In other words, it is the studies of care and treatments on individuals and populations. Outcomes research can be grouped into 3 categories: 1. Care-related 2. Patient-related 3. Performance-related Schmidt, N. A. and Brown, J. M. (Eds.). (2015). Evidence-based practice for nurses: Appraisal and application of research (3rd ed.). Burlington, MA: Jones & Bartlett Learning.
- 3. + Agency for Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) Promotes advancing excellence in healthcare Invests in research to make healthcare safer and better Creates teaching and training tools to educate healthcare systems and professionals Generates and measures data to track and improve performance of healthcare (AHRQ,2018)
- 4. + Helpful Research (AHRQ) Opioids- Opioid abuse and death has been on the rise the past two decades. Leading cause of injury or death. Research to overcome or decrease this problem would be great for our population. Coordination of Care- Optimally organizing care sets patient outcomes up for successful. Careful coordination promotes safe, appropriate, and effective care Health-care Quality- This goes hand in hand with coordination of care Surgery- Surgical complications can take an immeasurable toll on the patient and their family. Ways to improve OR safety should be promoted. (AHRQ,2018) Human Factors (Having parents present for tracheal intubations in pediatric patient) This may alleviate stress for the patient and parents however additional people in the OR is discouraged. Telehealth- incorporates broad technologies. Improving telehealth research would be helpful if it was more specific to a certain area Disparities- This is such a broad topic and likely covered in other topic Unhelpful Research (AHRQ)
- 5. + Patient-Centered Outcome Research Institute Organization that funds research so healthcare workers can make more informed decisions to benefit their patients. Patients and public have information that they can use to make informed decisions. Influence and improve research based healthcare delivery
- 6. + Helpful Research (Patient- Centered Outcome Research Institute) Nonsurgical treatments for UI in adult women- least invasive treatment is always considered before more invasive treatments to decrease potential risks Managing pain while reducing opioid use in patients with chronic pain- reducing opioid use while still managing pain is a relevant topic as opioids addiction and abuse has been on the rise. Identifying and predicting patients for preventable high utilization- early identification and targeting care could decrease utilization Unhelpful Research (Patient-Centered Outcome Research Institute) Engaging parents of children with Sickle Cell anemia to engage is decision making about Hydroxyurea- very narrow topic that only applies to a very specific group.
