Register today to attend the ISOQOL 1st Virtual Symposium, an event focused on challenges that healthcare providers (HCPs) encounter in the integration of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) into routine practice.

Scheduled for three half-days from 6-8 May 2025, this virtual event will consist of panel discussions, presentations, an interactive online activity, real world case studies, and live attendee engagement and interaction with the speakers.

Session Highlight

Session 7: Selecting Implementation Strategies and Evaluating HCP Adoption of PROMs

Facilitating adoption of PROMs often necessitating flexible and tailored strategies to support HCP behavior change. Building on previous sessions, this session will help participants translate known factors that matter most into actionable implementation strategies. Implementation strategies showcased will be based on Implementation Science and current evidence-based practices. A real-world example of tailored strategies for a local setting will be featured. Finally, this session will briefly review approaches to evaluate implementation strategies used in practice, using common evaluation frameworks from Implementation Science.

Session Speakers:

Angela C. Wolff, PhD RN

School of Nursing, Trinity Western University

  
Angela C. Wolff, PhD, RN is an Associate Professor at the Trinity Western University School of Nursing (British Columbia, Canada) where she teaches leadership and research-based courses and conducts research about how healthcare providers successfully integrate people-centered assessment tools into practice. Angela has received numerous grants to support this work including a systematic review about barriers and facilitators for patient-reported outcome measure adoption and knowledge translation for the routine use of quality-of-life assessments in community mental health. Her most recent innovation grant is about incorporating equitable people-centered assessments (in the form of PROMs) into undergraduate nursing education. Her involvement in ISOQOL includes Co-Chair of the Clinical Practice Special Interest Group and leading workshops on preparing clinicians to adopt PROMs. Angela is passionate advancing the professional practice of nurses to provide people-centered equitable healthcare to patients, families, and communities.
