Program areas at HRRI
Hrri worked with researchers to develop the cross-profession minimum data set (cpmds) in 2022. The cpmds is a critical tool for collecting and sharing data on the Healthcare workforce in a consistent and comparable way. It is essential for informing policy and programs to address workforce shortages. The cpmds was developed in 2022 in conjunction with seven national organizations to review existing survey tools and prepare a resource for federal, state, and local governments, organizations, and researchers. Broad adoption of the cpmds is essential to its success.
Hrri is working with researchers to understand the extent to which consumers are aware of healthcare-affiliated state Regulatory boards, what services they provide, and the role they plan. Hrri is also interested in assessing the perceived need among patients and caregivers for a website where various types of violations could be reported across Healthcare professions. A survey will be launched in 2023 to respondents who have seen one or more of 8 different Healthcare provider types as either a patient or an involved caregiver. The survey will identify those who experience an issue and determine the proportion who reported it, to whom, and by what means. Among the group who reported an issue, the survey will determine how easy or difficult it was to report, how satisfied they are that the issue was (see sch o) recorded and acted on properly, and what if anything, would have made the reporting procedures and outcomes better.
The healthy practice self-reflection resource (hpr) is a tool developed in 2022 by hrri and researchers to guide Healthcare providers through regular, proactive self-reflection. The hpr is based on the guidelines for continuing professional development and is designed to be evidence-based, supportive, modular, and appropriate for all levels of healthy practice. In 2022, pilot testing of the hpr was initiated with the goals of: 1. Establishing whether each of the measures included in the pilot version showed acceptable psychometric properties for further use, and 2. Beginning to identify properties of individual items to facilitate decisions about whether and where to shorten measures to make the hpr more efficient and effective. The purpose of this resource is to guide Healthcare providers through a self-reflection (see sch o) that is supportive, modular, and appropriate for all levels of healthy practice.
