Health research and the experience of care
Improve questions and methods about health, care and AI through the perspectives of patients, carers, researchers and qualified practitioners.
Values proposed for this field
- The person in context
- Research questions should attend to what matters to the people affected, including their circumstances, priorities and experience of care.
- A measurable improvement can leave a person's central concern unaddressed. Their account can change which outcomes are worth investigating.
- Claims with a stated reach
- A health-related research claim should describe the question, population, method and conditions its evidence addresses.
- Readers need to examine how far a result may apply and which uncertainties a change of context introduces.
- Data use with a stated purpose
- Proposed uses of personal health information should be considered separately, with understandable scope and a clear account of permission and responsibility.
- Participation in one activity should not silently become agreement to unrelated data use or public disclosure.
Meanings in this field · v0.1.1
- Health research question
- A question about health or care that names the people or conditions concerned and the kind of finding that could answer it. Formulating it leaves study design and authorization to be established separately.
- Patient-relevant outcome
- An outcome whose importance is explained in relation to the people affected, with room for different priorities and for outcomes current measurements miss.
- Applicability
- A reasoned assessment of how evidence from one setting, population or method may inform another, including differences that could change the conclusion.
- Responsibility boundary
- A description of who may make which decisions within a particular care or research setting, what accountability applies and where a contribution remains advisory.
Revise the profile when affected people identify missing priorities, evidence reveals unequal or unexpected effects, the information-use assumptions fail, or qualified domain review shows that a distinction misrepresents care or research.
These meanings, values and practices can be rewritten. They are an invitation to inquiry, not a ratified constitution or a claim that a community has adopted them.
