Kent Stuber, DC, MS, PhD, and Katherine Pohlman, DC, MS, PhD, of the Parker University Research Center are leading an international research team that was awarded a RAND REACH Center grant funded by the NCMIC Foundation.
The team’s study, “Advancing Patient Safety Culture in the Chiropractic Profession,” aims to enhance global chiropractic safety by using an innovative methodology called “Remote Adapted Nominal Group Technique,” a Parker University press release noted.
With an international investigative team including Stacie Salsbury, PhD, RN, and Maranda Kleppe, DC, from the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research, Sidney Rubinstein from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Richard Brown, DC, retiring Secretary-General of the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) and Parker Seminars’ Chiropractor of the Year, this research will gather feedback on the WFC’s Global Patient Safety Initiative. The study aims to identify barriers, facilitators and key priorities for advancing future research, clinical practice, education and policy.
By fostering collaboration among global chiropractic leaders, this study will shape the future of patient safety and identify the next critical steps to strengthen the profession.
