The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Comparative Effectiveness Research
  • Health Care Management

Background:

  • Comparative effectiveness research (CER) is crucial for evidence-based healthcare decisions.
  • Identifying research priorities aligned with clinical practice is essential for maximizing CER's impact.
  • Integrated health care systems offer unique opportunities to conduct and implement CER.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify high-priority comparative effectiveness research questions.
  • To ensure relevance to care delivery within a large, US integrated health care system.

Main Methods:

  • An electronic survey was distributed to 792 clinical and operational leaders in Kaiser Permanente.
  • Nominated research questions were grouped into 18 topic-specific surveys for prioritization.
  • High-priority questions were identified using a statistical method comparing selection frequency to expected frequency.

Main Results:

  • Over 320 research questions were nominated by 181 individuals.
  • Top areas included cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and health service delivery.
  • Ninety-five high-priority research questions were identified, covering prevention, treatment, and quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • The identified questions can inform national comparative effectiveness research discussions.
  • Engaging frontline healthcare stakeholders is effective for setting a research agenda.
  • This process provides a model for prioritizing research in real-world healthcare settings.
