PRIME

PRIME is a flagship project of the Research 2 Practice (R2P) team and is a great example of what can happen when research, clinical and educational activities are integrated. This project involves therapists, researchers, and hospital administrators working together with persons with lived experience and students to develop enhancements to activity-based therapies (e.g., optimizing therapeutic intensity) in persons with acquired brain and spinal cord injury.

 

"Ultimately, we believe personalized therapy will have the biggest impact in people's lives"


  1. Collect standardized battery of assessments

  2. Collect therapy activities in a systematic way

  3. Create an environment for clinical improvement and reflection by presenting results back to the clinicians for their interpretation

  4. Develop a clinical decision support system using a collaborative clinical and research IT platform

Goals

To provide the best therapy to the right person at the right time to enhance mobility.

  • Develop analytic models that will create treatment recommendations as part of an electronic decision support system

  • Demonstrate the effectiveness of this system


What this means…
  • For Patients & Families: Better mobility means more independence - returning to work, play, and life!

  • For Clinicians: Support in making decisions and delivering innovative therapies more efficiently!

  • For Administrators: Access to better data to make decisions about resources and priorities!

  • For Researchers: Build the evidence for what works best to optimize outcomes!

  • For Our Organization: Lead the field in Mobility and Activity Research!
