Exploring personalised care planning approaches for adults with long‐term conditions to inform future musculoskeletal care planning: A mixed‐methods systematic scoping review protocol

Abstract

Introduction: This systematic scoping review protocol outlines current research into care planning processes and highlights the need to synthesise the knowledge base available since the latest Cochrane review. Review results will underpin the formation of a future intervention designed to successfully optimise care planning consultations for musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapists, supporting shared decision-making processes and consequently influencing health care practices for the betterment of patient care. Aim: To systematically gather and synthesise the existing knowledge base surrounding personalised care planning approaches for long term conditions which may be informative for MSK care planning in the future. Objectives: 1. Following the Cochrane review in 2015, to synthesise new evidence available to inform personalised care planning interventions for patients with longterm conditions. 2. Of the identified studies providing strong evidence, to determine what high-quality training resources are available to support clinicians in delivering personalised care planning interventions. PIO Framework: Population -Adults with long-term health conditions. Intervention -Personalised care planning. Outcome -Any subjective or objective heath improvement. Databases: 1. Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). 2. MEDLINE & MEDLINE In-process (Ovid). 3. EMBASE (Ovid). 4. PsycINFO (Ovid). 5. Trial registers (clinicaltrials.gov). 6. WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform.
