Bringing Outcomes Into Focus: A Learner's Guide to Translating Theory Into Action

The Validation Model^SM

The Validation Model^SM is a new four-part series that seeks to enhance communication between patients and their health care providers. Patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection were surveyed twice throughout the series to obtain a better understanding of their perspective about their disease and treatment experience. This important survey information will enable health care professionals to address their patients’ greatest concerns about their disease and ultimately lead to improved patient care.

The Reflective Case-Based Outcomes Compendium, the fourth part in the series, will review the results of the aforementioned patient surveys, summarize key concepts of the previous educational activities, and provide an overview of the educational outcomes as measured by pre-and posttest data. This information creates the opportunity to assess where you stand against your peers in the aggregate and where the specialty community treating patients with chronic HCV infection sits as a whole.
