Studies have highlighted common challenges and barriers to patient engagement in research, but most were based on partners' or academic researchers' experiences. A better understanding of how both groups differentially experience their partnership could help identify strategies improve collaboration research.This study aimed describe compare experiences research.Based a participatory approach, descriptive qualitative was conducted with partners researchers who are involved the PriCARE...
Introduction: Case management (CM) is an effective integrated model of care for patients with chronic conditions and complex needs, given the focus on improving patient engagement in healthcare self-management skills. While CM often leads to positive outcomes, little known about factors which promote or hinder implementation. Objective: This study seeks examine facilitated hindered implementation a 12-month intervention primary clinics individuals report outcomes from perspective patients,...
This is the introductory paper in a collection of four papers on Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) Evidence Alliance, pan-Canadian research initiative that was funded by Canadian Institutes Health September 2017. Here, we introduce SPOR enterprise Canada, provide rationale creation information mandate and approach, describe how Alliance adds to health ecosystem Canada beyond.
We were tasked by Canada’s COVID-19 Immunity Task Force to describe severe adverse events (SAE) associated with emergency department (ED) visits and/or hospitalizations in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID). At 8 Canadian centres, data collected from adults rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (AxS), systemic lupus (SLE), psoriatic (PsA) and bowel disease (IBD). administered questionnaires, analyzing SAEs experienced within 31 days following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination....

Methods Four members TWG representing adult, pediatric, university-based, community practices defined scope project. A rapid literature review existing systematic reviews, policy documents, published abstracts on topic was conducted between April May 2021. The informed a candidate set 7 supporting...
Case management is one of the most frequently performed interventions to mitigate negative effects high healthcare use on patients, primary care providers and system. Reviews have addressed factors influencing case (CMI) implementation reported common themes related manager role activities, collaboration with other providers, CMI training relationships patients. However, heterogeneity settings in which been implemented may impair transferability findings. Moreover, underlying first steps...
Abstract Background In the past decade, patient-oriented research (POR) has been at forefront of healthcare in Canada because it potential to make more meaningful and relevant patient needs. Despite this growing emphasis on expectation conduct POR, there is limited guidance about how apply POR practice. To address capacity building need, Knowledge Translation (KT) Program partners co-designed, delivered, evaluated Partners Research (PiR), a 2-month online course for patients researchers...
The Evidence Alliance (EA) is a Canada-wide multi-stakeholder organization providing national-level support in knowledge synthesis, clinical practice guidelines development, and translation. With mandate to deliver the best available evidence inform health policy improve patient care, EA involves patients their caregivers its governance, research priority setting conduct, capacity building. To reflect on experiences of involvement first three years, conducted self-study with 17 actively...

Patients and other stakeholders are increasingly engaging as partners in research, although how they perceive such experiences, particularly over the long term, is not well understood.To characterize participants from a nondialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) research priority-setting project conducted 2 years previously perceived significance of their involvement.Qualitative descriptive study with semi-structured, individual interviews.Participants resided across Canada.Eligible included...
Patients and stakeholders are increasingly engaging in health research to help address evidence-practice gaps improve health-care delivery. We previously engaged patients, caregivers, providers (HCPs) policymakers identifying priorities for chronic kidney disease (CKD) research.We aimed explore participants' views on the prioritization process 2 years after exercise took place.In this qualitative descriptive study, individual interviews were conducted analysed using an inductive, thematic...
Therapeutic product development, licensing and reimbursement may seem a well-oiled machine, but continuing high attrition rates, regulatory refusals, patients' access issues suggest otherwise; despite serious efforts, gaps persist between stakeholders' stated evidence requirements actual supplied. Evidentiary deficiencies and/or human tendencies resulting in avoidable inefficiencies might be further reduced with fresh institutional cultures/mindsets, combined context-adaptable practices...
Introduction Case management (CM) is among the most studied effective models of integrated care for people with complex needs. The goal this study to scale up and assess CM in primary healthcare Methods analysis research questions are: (1) which mechanisms contribute successful scale-up needs healthcare?; (2) how do contextual factors within organisations these mechanisms? (3) what are relationships between actors, factors, outcomes when scaling-up healthcare? We will conduct a mixed methods...
