Invitation to Participate in Research Study - Consumer Representative & Family Representative Vacancies
Overview
PARTNERING WITH CLINICIANS TO IMPROVE REPORTING OF CLINICAL DETERIORATION IN PATIENTS: A PILOT STUDY
A large research team consisting of nurse leaders, clinicians and academics is seeking expressions of interest from health consumer and family member representatives to participate in a research study examining why clinicians are hesitant to intervening in patient clinical deterioration in a ward context.
Adverse events have significant social and financial ramifications for patients and their loved ones. Adverse events also represent a major economic burden for individual health services and the wider Australian community. Whilst there is increasing evidence about why clinicians don’t intervene in patient’s clinical deterioration in a timely manner, more research is needed to better understand how clinicians can confidently and effectively use these systems to avoid AEs. This study is therefore unique in that is will explore what the problems are before working collaboratively with clinicians to improve health services.
Hence the primary aim of this study is to determine whether timely intervention (including reporting) of clinical deterioration in patients can be improved through the implementation of a local intervention developed in partnership with clinicians.
The health consumer and family member representatives will be invited to attend 2-4 monthly group meetings/discussion or individual interviews during a 12 month period. Funds have been allocated to remunerate the 1 health consumer representative and 1 family member representative for their participation, travel costs and parking for each meeting.
YOUR ELIGIBILITY
We are looking for a patient who has been a patient in an acute ward setting, and a family member of a patient who has been a patient in an acute ward setting, who has the flexibility to attend monthly meetings and is willing to contribute to discussions in a meaningful way.
