Developing a data-informed care planning improvement intervention in long-term care in Nova Scotia: protocol for an advisory-led interpretive qualitative study
This study has been approved by the Dalhousie University Health Sciences Research Ethics Board. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants or their substitute decision-makers before they take part in interviews, focus group discussions and care observations. Data will be de-identified, and privacy and confidentiality will be maintained through secure storage and handling of both electronic and physical documents. Study findings will be shared with participants through lay summaries and infographics after the second interview and observation, as well as at the conclusion of the study. Results will also be disseminated to researchers, healthcare professionals and LTC providers across Canada via presentations at local, national and international conferences, publications in open-access journals and through print and video materials tailored to the audience.
