The research-to-practice consensus workshop model effectively merged palliative care researcher and practitioner priorities. This approach generated unique insights, highlighting the importance of integrating frontline provider needs into the palliative care research agenda.
Area of Science:
- Palliative Care Research
- Translational Science
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Translational research in palliative care aims to bridge the gap between scientific discoveries and clinical practice.
- Previous consensus efforts have primarily focused on researcher-driven priorities, potentially overlooking frontline provider perspectives.
- Integrating diverse stakeholder views is crucial for developing relevant and impactful palliative care research agendas.
Purpose of the Study:
- To utilize the research-to-practice (RTP) consensus workshop model to synthesize researcher and practitioner perspectives on palliative care translational research priorities.
- To identify unique insights and potential differences in research priorities generated through a collaborative, practice-based approach.
- To inform the development of a more comprehensive and effective palliative care research agenda.
Main Methods:
- Employed the research-to-practice (RTP) consensus workshop model.
- Convened diverse groups of frontline palliative care providers and researchers in workshops held in New York City and Tompkins County in 2013.
- Generated a collaborative research agenda by merging researcher and practitioner views.
Main Results:
- The RTP model successfully integrated frontline provider and researcher perspectives on palliative care translational research.
- Notable differences were identified when contrasting practice-based research priorities with those from previous consensus efforts.
- The collaborative approach yielded unique insights into critical research areas for palliative care.
Conclusions:
- The research-to-practice consensus workshop model is a valuable tool for generating unique insights into palliative care research priorities.
- Integrating practitioner-identified needs is essential for advancing palliative care as a public health issue.
- This collaborative approach can lead to more effective and relevant research agendas that address real-world palliative care challenges.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
