“…Informed by our initial a priori framework and our eligibility criteria, we have defined a first full search strategy in PubMed, which was additionally checked against the guidelines of the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies for systematic reviews 37. The search strategy in box 2 was designed by one of the researchers (TSJ) with track record of designing search methods and strategies,38–43 also supported by the study questions and the preliminary model shown in figure 2. The same author will conduct the searches for the other databases.…”

Impact of economic recessions on healthcare workers and their crises’ responses: study protocol for a systematic review of the qualitative and quantitative evidence for the development of an evidence-based conceptual framework

IntroductionDuring economic recessions, health professionals face reduced income and labour opportunities, hard conditions often exacerbated by governments’ policy responses to crises. Growing evidence points to non-negligible effects on national health workforces and health systems—decrease in motivation, burnout, migration—arising from the combination of crisis-related factors. However, no theoretical conceptualisation currently exists framing the impacts recessions have on human resources for health (HRH), or on their reactions.Methods and analysisThis paper lays out a protocol for a systematic review of the existing qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method evidence on the economic recessions and HRH; results from the review will be used to develop a conceptual framework linking existing theories on recessions, austerity measures, health systems and population health, with a view of informing future health policies. Eight relevant databases within the health, health systems, multidisciplinary and economic literature will be searched, complemented by secondary searches and experts’ input. Eligible studies will present primary quantitative or qualitative evidence on HRH impacts, or original secondary analyses. We will cover the 1970–2019 period—the modern age of global economic recessions—and full texts in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese or Greek. Two reviewers will independently assess, perform data extraction and conduct quality appraisal of the texts identified. A ‘best-fit’ framework synthesis will be applied to summarise the findings, using an a priori, theoretically driven framework. That preliminary framework was built by the research team to inform the searches, and will be appraised by external experts.Ethics and disseminationIn addition to peer-reviewed publications, the new framework will be presented in global health systems research conferences and inform regional policy dialogue workshops in Latin America on economic recessions and health systems.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019134165.

“…The QIKAT has been successfully adapted for psychiatry residents and other medical specialty residents and, thus, could be adapted for clinical geropsychologists (Reardon et al, 2011;Singh et al, 2014 Dissemination of QI work conducted in geriatric care settings, including geriatric mental health, is also valuable to the field, given the gaps in research in this population. Publication bias against QI may exist in psychology as has been documented in medicine (Jesus et al, 2018;Tumin et al, 2020). We recommend identifying journals that may be interested in publishing QI projects, including cross-disciplinary and interprofessional journals that may be an excellent fit for this type of work.…”

Quality improvement (QI) work is increasingly necessary to ensure healthcare is delivered safely, efficiently, and equitably. As geropsychologists play an increasingly vital role in healthcare service delivery for older adults, it is imperative that they develop professional competence in QI, yet there is little formal QI training aimed at geropsychologists or to graduate students pursuing geropsychology. This article aims to elucidate the importance of QI education and training in geropsychology. In line with the Pikes Peak model for training in professional geropsychology, we outline QI knowledge and skills competencies for geropsychology training and suggest a rubric for integrating QI education into academic and clinical training from graduate school to professional practice. We provide recommended readings that geropsychology educators can read to become familiar with QI or use as part of a syllabus. Finally, we offer some recommendations for how current and future geropsychologists can be leaders in quality improvement work.

“…A recent scoping review of QI publications in rehabilitation medicine identified a relatively small but growing body of work. 2 Although reassuring that there exists a nascent field of QI in rehabilitation, the review highlighted that many projects did not fully utilize wellaccepted QI methodology such as authentic execution of PDSA cycles. In our opinion, there is a pressing need for the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) to embrace QI in a more systematic and widespread manner.…”

Physiatrists in all practice settings can improve the care of rehabilitation patients through the rigorous application of quality improvement (QI) methodology. This primer provides a step‐by‐step guide to QI in rehabilitation settings for academic and community physiatrists, using the Model for Improvement. Key concepts discussed include Plan‐Do‐Study‐Act cycles, setting optimal aim statements and measures, involving the rehabilitation team, diagnostic tools to understand root causes of quality problems, selection of change concepts and ideas, and utilizing run charts for data analysis. A QI project focused on the secondary prevention of vascular complications in amputees with diabetes admitted to inpatient rehabilitation is used as an illustrative example throughout the primer.
