Conducting multisite community-based outcomes research proved challenging due to lengthy surveys and poor physician engagement. Future studies require streamlined data collection and better communication for successful implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research methodology
  • Outcomes research
  • Community-based studies

Background:

  • Multisite community-based outcomes research is crucial for understanding real-world treatment variations.
  • Assessing the feasibility of such research is essential for future study design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of conducting multisite community-based outcomes research.
  • To identify challenges and facilitators in implementing such studies.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective observational study involving otolaryngologists and primary care practitioners treating acute external otitis.
  • Utilized disease-specific outcomes questionnaires for patients and physicians.
  • Data collected from community-based independent otolaryngology practices.

Main Results:

  • Recruitment was poor, with only 9 patients from 5 practices.
  • Significant variations in treatment approaches were observed between primary care practitioners and otolaryngologists.
  • Key barriers included survey length, data collection complexity, time constraints, and inadequate communication.

Conclusions:

  • Multisite outcomes studies face feasibility challenges.
  • Future research requires shorter surveys, integrated data collection, and improved physician communication and motivation.
  • Streamlined processes are vital for successful community-based outcomes research.
