About the Short Course
Learn more about the 1.5 day short course and its focus on methods of stakeholder engagement critical to the success of clinical research. Through didactice and experiential learning activites, you will gain skills to engage stateholders (e.g., patients, community members, industry, clinical sites, payers, and government agencies).
Course Overview
Research studies that lack input from relevant stakeholders can lead to problems with feasibility and recruitment, and can produce findings that are not meaningful or actionable in real world settings. Many clinical researchers are unfamiliar with best practices to effectively engage stakeholders in their research. This course will provide experiential and didactic activities to develop skills for engaging relevant stakeholders.
Elements of Competence
In addition to knowledge, this CE activity has been designed to change learner competence and focuses on the American Board of Medical Specialties' areas of practice-based learning and improvement, professionalism, interpersonal skills and communication; the interprofessional and nursing competencies of values and ethics, roles and responsiblities, interprofessional communication, teams and teamwork; the pharmacy competencies of foundational knowledge, personal/professional development, and communication skills; and the IOM competencies of patient-centered care, working in interdisciplinary teams, and quality improvement.
Practice Gaps and Needs
Traditionally, health research has been conducted by scientists and experts with very little input from key stakeholders (those who are impacted by the topic of study). This lack of input has led to research that is poorly aligned with the needs and priorities of patients and other stakeholders, which hinders the translation of research findings into practice and slows progress in improving health outcomes. Research studies that lack input from relevant stakeholders can lead to problems with feasibility and recruitment, and can produce findings that are not meaningful or actionable in real world settings.
Stakeholder engagement is defined as the “meaningful involvement of patients, caregivers, clinicians and other healthcare stakeholders throughout the research process – from topic selection through design and conduct of research to dissemination of results.” Evidence suggests that engagement leads to research questions and outcomes that are more meaningful and relevant to patients and other stakeholders. Engagement has also been shown to improve the quality and appropriateness of research. Additional hypothesized benefits of engagement include more efficient dissemination and implementation of findings, improved decision making, increased healthcare satisfaction, and optimal health outcomes.
Many clinical researchers are unfamiliar with best practices to effectively engage stakeholders in their research. This course will provide experiential and didactic activities to develop skills for engaging relevant stakeholders.
Intended Audience
The short course is designed for investigators or research team members (including graduate students or research specialists) who have received, or are considering research projects that would benefit from stakeholder engagement.
Learning Objectives
As a result of participation in this short course, attendees will be able to:
- Discuss changes to consent forms that will increase their appeal and clarity.
- Discuss strategies to improve recruitment rates and participant diversity, and retain participants through the entire study.
- List strategies to select and measure high priority outcomes, and reduce missing data.
- Identify opportunities for productive collaborations with healthcare oganizations.
- Recgnize circumstances with the potential to enhance the uptake and real world impact of your research.
- Describe opportunities to build effective and collaborative research teams.
Upon completion of this short course, attendees can expect to enhance the success of their research proposals, ease the execution of studies, and be better positioned to generate findings that can have real world impact.
