Development of a Research Agenda for Rehabilitation Research

Completed

• Conditions: Research Agenda; Conditions Influencing Health Status

• Registration Number: NCT05494892
• Lead Sponsor: Pensionsversicherungsanstalt

Brief Summary

An internal research department was established in the course of an organisational reform of the Pension Insurance Institution in 2020 for the evidence-based development of its own services in Austria. The focus is on the transfer of findings into practice and the scientific community. As part of an initial assessment of the current situation, an organisation-specific research agenda is being systematically developed.

The project design is based on a multi-perspective and multi-method approach. After obtaining experts' opinions (interview) from different settings and areas, a consensus on necessary fields of action will be worked out after synthesising the results via a Delphi survey.
