Understanding the processes underpinning the successful implementation of Person-Centered Outcome Measures in routine palliative care

Despite evidence demonstrating the value of Person-Centered Outcome Measures (PCOMs) within palliative care, implementing them into routine practice brings considerable challenges. This seminar will draw on exploratory qualitative work from a multisite implementation and research programme (‘the RESOLVE study’) to demonstrate how we may use implementation theory to: (i) understand the processes required for the successful integration of PCOMs into routine practice; (ii) provide practical recommendations to address implementation challenges; and (iii) develop and evaluate an implementation strategy aimed at facilitating the optimal implementation of PCOMs into everyday clinical practice.
