INTRODUCTION: Appraising the quality of studies included in systematic reviews combining qualitative and quantitative evidence is challenging. To address this challenge, a critical appraisal tool was developed: Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). The aim paper to present enhance ments made MMAT. DEVELOPMENT: MMAT initially developed 2006 based on literature review evidence. It subject pilot interrater reliability testing. A revised version 2018 results from usefulness testing, tools...
Most shared decision-making (SDM) models within healthcare have been limited to the patient–physician dyad. As a first step towards promoting an interprofessional approach SDM in primary care, this article reports how and interdisciplinary group developed achieved consensus on new model. The key concepts published reviews of interprofessionalism were identified, analysed, discussed by order reach (IP-SDM) IP-SDM model comprises three levels: individual (micro) level two system (meso macro)...
Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is becoming more widespread in primary care due to the increasing complex needs of patients. However, its implementation can be challenging. We aimed identify barriers and facilitators IPC settings.An overview reviews was carried out. Nine databases were searched, two independent reviewers took part review selection, data extraction quality assessment. A thematic synthesis out highlight main facilitators, according type their level intervention (system,...
Disseminating health and medical information on the Internet can improve knowledge transfer from professionals to population, help individuals maintain their health. There are currently several websites that directly target general population with aim of providing about problems, self-care prevention. However, this new technology also hides shortcomings, such as: (i) uneven quality available Internet; (ii) difficulties in finding, understanding using information; (iii) lack access for...
Following increased interest in having inter-professional (IP) health care teams engage patients decision making, we developed a conceptual model for an IP approach to shared making (SDM) primary care. We assessed the validity of with stakeholders Canada.In 15 individual interviews and 7 group 79 stakeholders, asked them to: (1) propose changes IP-SDM model; (2) identify barriers facilitators model's implementation clinical practice; (3) assess using theory appraisal questionnaire. performed...
Background Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising results in various fields of medicine. It the potential to facilitate shared decision making (SDM). However, there is no comprehensive mapping how AI may be used for SDM. Objective We aimed identify and evaluate published studies that have tested or implemented Methods performed a scoping review informed by methodological framework proposed Levac et al, modifications original Arksey O'Malley review, Joanna Briggs Institute...
Background The successful integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical practice is contingent upon physicians’ comprehension AI principles and its applications. Therefore, it essential for medical education curricula to incorporate topics concepts, providing future physicians with the foundational knowledge skills needed. However, there a gap in current understanding availability structured curriculum frameworks tailored education, which serve as vital guides instructing...
Background: There has been an exponential increase in the general population's usage of internet and information accessibility; current demand for online consumer health (OCHI) is unprecedented. are multiple studies on access usage, quality information, needs. However, few explored negative outcomes OCHI detail or from different perspectives, none examined how these could be reduced. Objective: The aim this study was to describe associated with use primary care identify potential preventive...
Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is increasingly used but diversely implemented in primary care. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of IPC care settings.An overview (review systematic reviews) was carried out. searched nine databases and employed a double selection data extraction method. Patient-related outcomes were categorized, results coded as improvement (+), worsening (-), mixed (?) or no change (0).34 reviews included. Six types identified: (large scope) (n = 8),...
Shared decision-making (SDM) is defined as a process by which healthcare choice made practitioners together with the patient. Although many diagnostic and therapeutic processes in primary care integrate more than one type of health professional, most SDM conceptual models theories appear to be limited patient-physician dyad. The objectives this study are develop model propose set measurement tools for enhancing an interprofessional approach healthcare. An inventory models, will created....
This project engages patients and physicians in the development of Decision Boxes, short clinical topic summaries covering medical questions that have no single best answer. Boxes aim to prepare clinician communicate risks benefits available options patient so they can make an informed decision together. Seven researchers (including four practicing family physicians) selected 10 topics relevant primary care practice through a Delphi survey. We then developed two one-page prototypes on these...
Decision boxes (Dboxes) provide clinicians with research evidence about management options for medical questions that have no single best answer. Dboxes fulfil a need rapid clinical training tools to prepare clinician-patient communication and shared decision-making. We studied the barriers facilitators using Dbox information in practice. used mixed methods study sequential explanatory design. recruited family physicians, residents, nurses from six primary health-care clinics. Participants...
Background Information retrieval in primary care is becoming more difficult as the volume of medical information held electronic databases expands.The lexical structure this might permit automatic indexing and improved retrieval.Objective To determine possibility identifying key elements clinical studies, namely Patient-Population-Problem, Exposure-Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Duration Results (PECODR), from abstracts journals.Methods We used a convenience sample 20 synopses journal...
Abstract Rationale Patients with complex care needs who frequently use health services often face challenges in managing their and integrated care, leading to frequent decision making. These require a good understanding of issues impact on daily life. As the decisional this particular clientele have yet be described scientific literature, they warrant further study. Objectives To assess decision‐making patients (PCCN) services. Methods We performed multicenter cross‐sectional qualitative...
