Summary
This study evaluates the RESOLVE Implementation Strategy to improve consistent use of person-centred outcome measures in palliative care. Findings will guide better implementation for enhanced patient care quality.
Area of Science:
- Palliative Care
- Implementation Science
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Person-centred outcome measures are vital for enhancing palliative care quality and patient outcomes.
- Inconsistent application of these measures presents a significant implementation gap in routine palliative care.
- The 'RESOLVE Implementation Strategy' was developed to address this gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a process evaluation of the 'RESOLVE Implementation Strategy'.
- To explore the mechanisms through which the strategy facilitates or hinders the implementation of outcome measures in palliative care.
- To understand changes in professionals' understanding, skills, and organizational practices related to outcome measure use.
Main Methods:
- A multistrand, mixed-methods process evaluation design.
- Strand 1: Collection of routine outcome data (e.g., Palliative Phase of Illness, IPOS, AMPs) over 12 months.
- Strands 2 & 3: Collection of survey and interview data to explore changes in professionals' perspectives and strategy mechanisms.
Main Results:
- Data collection spanned July 2021 to July 2022.
- Analysis included thematic framework analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistics for quantitative data.
- Ethical approvals obtained from relevant committees for all study strands.
Conclusions:
- The process evaluation aims to elucidate the effectiveness of the RESOLVE Implementation Strategy.
- Findings will inform strategies for optimizing the use of person-centred outcome measures in palliative care.
- Dissemination includes publications, conference presentations, and stakeholder briefings to promote wider adoption.

1.1K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

3.3K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
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...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.8K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

5.6K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
