Area of Science:

Healthcare research
Clinical practice improvement
Hospice care

Background:

Investigated the impact of individualized feedback on hospice clinical practice.
Examined recall, dissemination, and influence of research findings within hospices.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine if providing hospice agencies with research findings affects their clinical practice.
Assessed the extent to which research results are received, shared, and acted upon.

Main Methods:

170 hospices from a prior study received individualized feedback on their materials regarding end-of-life signs.
A follow-up survey was administered approximately one year later to assess impact.

Main Results:

40.1% of hospices completed the survey; 50.8% recalled receiving research results.
All hospices that recalled results shared them internally.
78.8% of those recalling results reported changes in preparing families for death, with 11 linking changes to the feedback.

Conclusions:

Individualized feedback on research findings can be a catalyst for enhancing clinical practice in hospice settings.
This approach shows potential for promoting quality improvement in healthcare agencies.
