We used Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolutions to reflect on how an integrated interprofessional shared decision-making approach was developed and implemented over time.
In 2007, an interdisciplinary team initiated a new research program to promote the implementation of an interprofessional shared decision-making approach in clinical settings. For this reflective case study, two new team members analyzed the team’s four projects, six research publications, one unpublished and two published protocols and organized them into recognizable phases according to Kuhn’s theory.
The merging of two young disciplines led to challenges characteristic of emerging paradigms. Implementation of interprofessional shared-decision making was hindered by a lack of conceptual clarity, a dearth of theories and models, little methodological guidance, and insufficient evaluation instruments. The team developed a new model, identified new tools, and engaged knowledge users in a theory-based approach to implementation. However, several unresolved challenges remain.
This reflective case study sheds light on the evolution of interdisciplinary team science. It offers new approaches to implementing emerging knowledge in the clinical context.Core2013-56 Laval University, University of Ottawa | Publication | 2016-09-28 | | | In for a penny, in for a pound: the effect of pre-engaging healthcare organizations on their subsequent participation in trialsParticipant recruitment in clinical trials is often challenging. Building partnerships with healthcare organizations during proposal development facilitates access to the community and may influence its subsequent organization participation and participant recruitment. We aimed to assess how pre-engaging directors of homecare organizations influenced organization participation in a subsequent trial.
Repeated cross-sectional study prior to a cluster randomized controlled trial involving 33 eligible Health and Social Services Centres (HSSCs). During proposal development, we asked eligible HSSC directors in a randomized order about their willingness to participate in our trial, if funded. In the pre-engagement phase, 23 directors were contacted until we met sample size requirements (n ≥ 16); 19 of whom wrote letters of intent. Once funded, we contacted all 33 eligible HSSC directors in a randomized order to enroll them. Of the 19 directors who provided letters of intent, 15 agreed to participate (79 %); of the four who did not provide letters, one agreed to participate (25 %); and of the ten who had not been approached in the pre-engagement phase, two agreed to participate (20 %). Fisher exact tests indicated that providing letters of intent was associated with subsequent participation (p = 0.003).
Given that significantly more HSSCs directors who signed letters of intent followed through with study participation, pre-engagement with trial sites during proposal development appears to improve recruitment.

difficult decision about staying in their home or moving to another home. Many
other people may be involved in their care too (friends, family and healthcare
providers), and can support them in making the decision. We asked informal
caregivers of elderly people to help us develop a decision guide to support them
and their loved ones in making this decision. This guide will be used by health
providers in home care who are trained to help people make decisions. The guide is
in French and English. To design and test this decision guide we involved elderly
people, their caregivers and health administrators. We first asked them what they
needed for making the decision, and then designed a first version of the guide. Then
we asked them to look at it and give feedback, which was used to make the final
version. We then used scientific criteria to check its content and the language used.
The final decision guide was acceptable to the caregivers, their elderly loved ones,
and the health administrators. The guide is currently being evaluated in a large
research project with home care teams in the province of Quebec.Core2013-56 University of Ottawa, Laval University | Publication | 2016-09-28 | Mirjam Garvelink, Julie Emond, Matthew Menear, Nathalie Briere, "Adriana Freitas ", Laura Boland, Maria-Margarita Becerra Perez, "Louisa Blair ", Dawn Stacey, France Légaré |
