Abstract

Practitioners aim to improve healthcare systems and clinical care through a variety of activities as part of a learning healthcare system. Yet the distinction between projects requiring Research Ethics Board (REB) approval or not is becoming increasingly blurred, making it difficult for researchers and others to classify projects and then navigate the required compliance pathway appropriately. To address this challenge, the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) of British Columbia (BC) created a decision tool called the "PHSA Project Sorter Tool" to serve its diverse community while also meeting the unique needs of the BC regulatory and policy environment. The goal of the tool was to standardize and clarify organizational project review and ensure project leads were referred to the appropriate review body or service provider within the PHSA in the most efficient manner possible. In this paper, we describe the ethics needs assessment that was conducted to inform the tool and the results of our ongoing evaluation of the tool since it was launched in January, 2020. Our project shows that this simple tool can reduce burdens on staff and provide clarity to users by standardizing processes and terms and directing users to appropriate internal resources.

在加拿大一个省级卫生机构开展伦理需求评估,为研究合规途径导航工具提供信息。
作为学习型医疗保健系统的一部分,从业人员旨在通过各种活动改善医疗保健系统和临床护理。然而,需要研究伦理委员会 (REB) 批准的项目与不需要研究伦理委员会 (REB) 批准的项目之间的区别正变得越来越模糊,这使得研究人员和其他人员很难对项目进行分类,然后适当地选择所需的合规途径。为了应对这一挑战,不列颠哥伦比亚省(BC)的省卫生服务管理局(PHSA)创建了一个名为 "PHSA 项目分类工具 "的决策工具,以服务于其多样化的社区,同时满足不列颠哥伦比亚省监管和政策环境的独特需求。该工具的目标是规范和明确组织项目审查,确保以最高效的方式将项目线索移交给 PHSA 内部适当的审查机构或服务提供商。在本文中,我们介绍了为了解该工具而进行的伦理需求评估,以及自 2020 年 1 月推出以来我们对该工具的持续评估结果。我们的项目表明,这一简单的工具可以减轻工作人员的负担,并通过标准化流程和术语以及引导用户使用适当的内部资源,为用户提供清晰的信息。

期刊介绍: Accountability in Research: Policies and Quality Assurance is devoted to the examination and critical analysis of systems for maximizing integrity in the conduct of research. It provides an interdisciplinary, international forum for the development of ethics, procedures, standards policies, and concepts to encourage the ethical conduct of research and to enhance the validity of research results. The journal welcomes views on advancing the integrity of research in the fields of general and multidisciplinary sciences, medicine, law, economics, statistics, management studies, public policy, politics, sociology, history, psychology, philosophy, ethics, and information science. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
