KT Connects - Measuring the quality of patient engagement as partners on research projects
KT Connects (2020) - "Measuring the quality of patient engagement as partners on research projects" with Dr. Clayon Hamilton
Partnerships between researchers and patients to work together on projects is becoming increasingly central to health research in Canada. These partnerships seek to integrate the perspectives of patients, those most affected by health research findings, throughout the research process. When these partnerships are undertaken effectively, we expect an improved impact of research projects on health systems and target patient populations. To gain these benefits, however, these partnerships should be of good quality. In this talk, Clayon Hamilton highlights recent progress made in understanding how to measure the quality of patient engagement on research projects.
