Why impact and outcomes matter
The work we support is not just about generating new ideas or conducting research; it’s about creating practical solutions that improve the quality of care for patients and the effectiveness of the healthcare system.
Achieving meaningful impact and tangible outcomes is essential to ensuring that the time, effort, and resources invested in research and improvement lead to real-world benefits.
Supporting meaningful change
We believe that the projects our colleagues are working on across the Trust have the potential to create lasting, positive change in healthcare delivery, patient outcomes, and the overall experience of both communities and healthcare professionals.
Outcomes are the measurable and tangible results that come from research and improvement initiatives. These include improvements in patient care, increased efficiency in healthcare processes, enhanced staff skills and capabilities, and the development of tools or solutions that directly address healthcare challenges.
Outcomes can be both short-term, such as the successful completion of a pilot project, and long-term, such as improved patient survival rates or reduced hospital readmission rates.
