Translating research into a patient friendly and cost effective health care tool: The role of PPI
2012 Conference
Abstract:
The NIHR CLAHRC for Leicestershire, Northamptonshire & Rutland Rehabilitation Theme is conducting a novel and ambitious programme of applied research in the field of rehabilitation for patients with chronic cardiopulmonary diseases. One extremely important emphasis of CLARHC is around the implementation of research and how applied research is translated into the wider healthcare service.
Re-admission of patients with COPD are a national dilemma and at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust we have recently adopted a new process which has emerged from our London CLAHRC colleagues following a comprehensive review of the literature. The COPD Care Bundle comprises a comprehensive tool for optimising the patient pathway and will be offered to in-patients with COPD. This project also engages healthcare professionals in an educational programme to enhance delivery of the Care Bundle.
Our PPI members have been instrumental in the development of this improvement tool which will not only improve patient care but will also provide a cost saving strategy for our local NHS trust.
This presentation will focus on how PPI has been able to influence the translation of research and to facilitate the development of a strategic healthcare tool.
