Health Benefit Of Participants | Service & Workforce (made during and/or after project) | Research Profile and Capacity | Economic | Influence | Knowledge Production and Exchange |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Health gain of participants during and after projects. Patient experience benefits during project Patient safety gains in during project Equity of access and use of care Social capital (networking of participants) that improves wellbeing | Service changes made Clinical skills developed Workforce changes. E.g. new roles Collective action of service teams or between teams Changes in available products and equipment Changes made in guidelines and clinical processes | Research culture change Research awareness Research Capacity of individuals, teams, services or organisation Networks & collaborations developed and continued Engagement of wider workforce in research (more people delivering and developing research | Cost effectiveness of services Cost savings made Commercial income gained (through undertaking the project itself) Commercialisation (of any outputs from projects- linked to intellectual property) | Cohesion. Do services/ departments work better together? Reputation of organisation (including wider public, other healthcare organisations, academic community) Recruitment and retention of staff Public and patient involvement. How did their involvement make a difference? | Academic Dissemination. Where and how? Knowledge sharing within the organisation and wider afield (may be on methods as well as research findings) New Knowledge identified and used Actionable outputs: outputs from research that are useable: e.g. clinical tools, decision aids, guidelines, training packs. |
