Description: ”Cognitive task analysis (CTA) is a family of methods designed to reveal the thinking involved in performing tasks in real-world contexts. CTA can be used to uncover and describe key patterns, variations, opportunities for improvement, and leverage the “knowledge work”—not just the physical work—of primary care staff and clinicians implementing PCMH models.”



Integrating Patient-Centered Outcomes into CBPR: A Real-World Example

Type: Audio/video capture (mp4; 14min in duration)

Level: Intermediate

Description: This session aims to capture a real-world example of a collaborative, community-engaged research partnership. We hope that viewers are able to use these examples as a model in developing their own Community-Based Participatory Research (CPBR) projects.

The featured CBPR Project is entitled “Establishing a Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) Surveillance Network”, funded by: The Rockefeller University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS); Pilot Grant and Administrative Supplement (NIH-NCATS Grant # 8-UL1-TR000043). This project is a collaboration between the Rockefeller University, multiple Community Health Centers (Urban health Plan, Manhattan Physicians Group 125th Street, Open Door Family Health Center, Hudson River Health Care, Brookdale Family Care Center, and Manhattan Physicians Group 95th Street), and multiple Practice Based Research Networks (Alliance of Chicago, Clinical Directors Network, Inc. of New York City and STARNet, San Antonio Texas). All members are engaged and participate onsite or virtually.

Dr. Jonathan N. Tobin President and CEO of Clinical Directors Network, Inc. leads a discussion about patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR). He talks about the definition of PCOR, how PCOR relates to clinical outcomes, and engages the group in discussion about how to incorporate patient-centered outcomes into the CA-MRSA research project. CHC are engaged in exploring outcomes to investigate taken directly from their patient’s experiences at the FQHC. This is used to drive the research development process.

All members are engaged and participate onsite or virtually.

This session provides an example of the collaborative discussion of dissemination strategies needed to disseminate findings of this CBPR project. Dissemination strategies focus on reaching professionals as well as community members. Strategies are discussed, including abstracts and papers and presentations at academic meetings. The CHC team-members are actively involved in this process: they discuss abstracts they have presented and will present at national and local conferences related to the project and brainstorm future dissemination opportunities including live and virtual webcast presentations.

Type: PDF Document

Level: Intermediate

Description: This resources contains an executive summary of the Health Economics Common Fund’s webinar conference, Integrating Economic Analysis into NIH Funded Research. 

From the document:

“The purpose of this webinar is to encourage collaboration between biobehavioral investigators and economists so that clinical trials and other studies are designed to promote appropriate and prompt implementation of effective and efficacious interventions. Incorporating health economics expertise on the effects of financial and organizational incentives and constraints on the behavior of various stake holders can expedite implementation of clinical, behavioral, and organizational interventions with proven efficacy in the areas of promoting health and wellbeing.

The featured webinar participants shared an example of a clinical trial to which economic analyses were added. They then explored the value of incorporating an economic perspective from the inception of clinical study design.”
