Building a learning health care community in rural and remote areas: a systematic review.
BMC Health Serv Res
September 2024
Background: A Learning Health Care Community (LHCC) is a framework to enhance health care through mutual accountability between the health care system and the community. LHCC components include infrastructure for health-related data capture, care improvement targets, a supportive policy environment, and community engagement. The LHCC involves health care providers, researchers, decision-makers, and community members who work to identify health care needs and address them with evidence-based solutions.

- Force-Based Manipulation (FBM), which includes techniques like light touch and thrust manipulation, is widely used to alleviate pain, but the specific mechanisms behind its effectiveness are not well understood.
- A study identified 37 research gaps related to FBM by employing an international nominal group technique, with 23 gaps achieving consensus, particularly highlighting the strong influence of contextual factors and the need for studies on different pain phenotypes.
- The findings suggest that understanding individual differences in pain response could enhance precision medicine approaches in pain management, emphasizing the importance of mechanism-based research in clinical settings.
Objective: To establish priority gaps related to contextual factors (CFs) research and force-based manipulation (FBM).
Methods: A three-round Delphi following recommended guidelines for conducting and reporting Delphi studies (CREDES) involving international and interdisciplinary panelists with expertise in CFs and FBM. Round 1 was structured around two prompting questions created by the workgroup.
Objective: Emerging literature suggests contextual factors are important components of therapeutic encounters and may substantially influence clinical outcomes of a treatment intervention. At present, a single consensus definition of contextual factors, which is universal across all health-related conditions is lacking. The objective of this study was to create a consensus definition of contextual factors to better refine this concept for clinicians and researchers.
