The first steps in establishing the PRMs Research Collaborative are complete

Togeth­er with Health Trans­la­tion SA (HTSA), we’re excit­ed to share the learn­ings from our first Patient Report­ed Mea­sures Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive work­shop, held vir­tu­al­ly on the 16^th of Sep­tem­ber 2021 with 80 participants. 

Dis­cus­sion focused on dri­vers and bar­ri­ers for effec­tive PRM research part­ner­ships and iden­ti­fy­ing mech­a­nisms that will sup­port the trans­la­tion of PRMs research to improve patient out­comes and expe­ri­ences with mea­sur­able impact.

Com­mon themes were iden­ti­fied by par­tic­i­pants, pro­vid­ing key con­sid­er­a­tions in the pro­mo­tion of excel­lence in PRMs research: 

• Col­lab­o­ra­tion and Partnerships
• Applied Research in PRMs
• Build­ing capa­bil­i­ty and capacity 
• Research trans­la­tion
• Gov­er­nance and Ethics 

The con­sol­i­dat­ed infor­ma­tion has been inter­pret­ed as pri­or­i­ties and actions to fur­ther sup­port the devel­op­ment of the Collaborative.

The PRMs team, CEIH and HTSA would like to thank every­one that gave their time to come togeth­er and help inform the direc­tion of the Col­lab­o­ra­tive. We look for­ward to con­tin­u­ing to work with the con­sumer, health and research com­mu­ni­ty in South Aus­tralia to improve care and patient outcomes.
