Video release: In Sickness & in Health - What does Patient Involvement in Health Research Really Mean? An ACAHO- CIHR Cafe Scientifique, May 6, 2010
In ACAHO-member organizations, which are first and foremost patient care organizations, vibrant research enterprises involve patients and families in life-saving research and innovation.
What type of research happens in academic healthcare organizations? This was the topic of the May 6, 2010 CIHR-ACAHO Cafe Scientifique on Patient Involvement in Health Research. In this set of video clips you'll hear about:
- a patient-participant's perspective on patient involvement in health research (Ms. Jennifer Molson, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute);
- a clinician-researcher's perspectives on patient involvement in chronic disease research (Dr. Clare Liddy, Élizabeth-Bruyère Research Institute);
- a clinician-scientists's perspective on mental health research (Dr. Elliott Lee, University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research/ROHCG); and
- a research ethics board chair's perspective on patient participation in health research (Dr. Carole Gentile, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute).
You'll also hear from the four Vice Presidents of Health Research at these organizations: Dr. Duncan Stewart, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute; Dr. Zul Merali, University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research; Dr. Larry Chambers, Élizabeth-Bruyère Research Institute; and Dr. Martin Osmond, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Health Research Institute.
