“…[22][23][24][25][26][27][28] The team care concept focuses on ensuring that providers with specific expertise are involved with the patient and the team responsible for the patient's care. 29 Although some specialties and institutions have found MDTs to be costly, inefficient, and lacking in evidence for a positive impact on patient outcomes, 24,27,30 one study demonstrates decreased time to decannulation and LOS for adults with tracheostomies managed by an MDT.…”

“…The articles on professional practices focused on how professionals work together, develop and implement new approaches and make decisions around diagnosis and treatment. Several authors explored the organisation of oncology, including historical studies on the processes of specialisation in gynaecological oncology (Zetka 2011) and the ways teams operated in relation to new initiatives such as quality improvement indicators (Gort et al 2013). The influence of evidence-based medicine on organisational arrangements, professional hierarchies and jurisdictions were also explored Thompson 2011, Broom et al 2009).…”

Biomedicine is often presented as the driving force behind improvements in cancer care, with genomics the latest innovation poised to change the meaning, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and lived experience of cancer. Reviewing sociological analyses of a diversity of patient and practitioner experiences and accounts of cancer during the last decade (2007–17), we explore the experiences of, approaches to and understandings of cancer in this period. We identify three key areas of focus: (i) cancer patient experiences and identities; (ii) cancer risk and responsibilities and (iii) bioclinical collectives. We explore these sociological studies of societal and biomedical developments and how sociologists have sought to influence developments in cancer identities, care and research. We end by suggesting that we extend our understanding of innovations in the fields of cancer research to take better account of these wider social and cultural innovations, together with patients, activists' and sociologists' contributions therein.

“…The key informants and focus group participants reviewed an information letter and provided written consent before the discussion began. These qualitative data will be used to understand the setting and context, including suggestions for making improvements in nutrition care within the unit [55,65]. Both focus groups and interviews were conducted by one researcher to promote consistency.…”

“…The amalgamated report is also provided to assist in goal setting for each site. This type of continuous feedback is an important technique for behaviour change management and implementation [44,51,58,65,81,82]. Thirty-day follow-up of patients occurs between the fourth and sixth months of implementation with the goal of attaining 40 patients per site who agreed to this telephone follow up questionnaire completed by the researchers.…”

More-2-Eat: evaluation protocol of a multi-site implementation of the Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Nutrition care in hospitals is often haphazard, and malnourished patients are not always readily identified and do not receive the care they require. The Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (INPAC) is an algorithm designed to improve the prevention, detection and treatment of malnutrition in medical and surgical patients. More-2-Eat is an evaluation of the implementation of INPAC care activities (e.g. screening) in five diverse medical units from different hospitals in Canada. The primary purpose is to understand how tailored implementation affects INPAC uptake and factors that impact this implementation. The principal outcome is a toolkit that can provide guidance to others.
