Patient Reported Measures Research Collaborative

What is the Patient Report­ed Mea­sures Research Collaborative?

The Col­lab­o­ra­tive is made avail­able by the Com­mis­sion on Excel­lence and Inno­va­tion in Health (CEIH) and Health Trans­la­tion SA (HTSA) — mem­ber­ship is free.

The Col­lab­o­ra­tive’s pur­pose is to build a pro­fes­sion­al net­work of peo­ple with exper­tise and inter­est in PRMs research and to pro­mote oppor­tu­ni­ties that will fos­ter part­ner­ship and col­lab­o­ra­tion in the health system.

This includes pro­vid­ing a forum for clin­i­cal researchers and clin­i­cians from across South Aus­tralia to come togeth­er and share their knowl­edge and bring focus to the ben­e­fits of PRMs research in clin­i­cal practice. 

The Col­lab­o­ra­tive must align with the Prin­ci­ples of the PRM Pro­gram, CEIH strate­gic objec­tives, and the imple­men­ta­tion plan for the statewide PRMs Program.

Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive Update

Two suc­cess­ful research sym­po­siums were run in March and Novem­ber 2022

The first sym­po­sium show­cased a broad range of PRMs relat­ed research whilst the sec­ond sym­po­sium was focussed on using PRMs to improve health care for cul­tur­al­ly and lin­guis­ti­cal­ly diverse (CALD) pop­u­la­tions, peo­ple liv­ing with dis­abil­i­ty and First Nations peoples. 

For more infor­ma­tion about the first sym­po­sium held in March 2022, see PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive launch­es with Research Sym­po­sium.

For more infor­ma­tion about the sec­ond sym­po­sium held in Novem­ber 2022, see Sec­ond PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive Sym­po­sium.

The PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive E‑Newsletter

The PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive E‑Newsletter was launched in August 2022. The E‑Newsletter con­tent is con­tributed by Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive mem­bers and high­lights PRM research, activ­i­ties and links Col­lab­o­ra­tive mem­bers together.

We encour­age mem­bers to show­case their con­nect­ed research and projects, high­light any local activ­i­ties or events, edu­ca­tion­al oppor­tu­ni­ties, rel­e­vant resources and news.

To sub­mit to the next edi­tion, see PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive E‑Newsletter Sub­mis­sion.

PRMs Col­lab­o­ra­tive Grant

In March 2022, The CEIH announced a PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive Grant, open to Col­lab­o­ra­tive mem­bers to sup­port and pro­mote con­sumer-led research in patient report­ed measures. 

The grant win­ners are pro­gress­ing with their project and we look for­ward to see­ing the outcomes.
