研究效率越来越受到研究企业的重视，姑息治疗研究也不例外。产生有意义的发现并将这些科学进步转化为改善患者护理的重要性在该领域产生了解决有充分记录的系统低效的紧迫性。姑息治疗研究合作小组(PCRC)为确保姑息治疗的研究效率提供了有用的例子。关于最大限度地提高研究效率的文献侧重于清楚描述的流程图、工作说明和标准操作程序(SOP)在创建跨研究站点的预期的同步性方面的重要性。PCRC的例子支持这些目标，并表明及早创建和采用与这些过程相一致的业绩衡量标准对于产生明确的预期和确定基准至关重要。这些基准在有效监测和最终产生可转化为临床人群的高质量结果方面至关重要。确定可衡量的目标和任务的优先次序，以确保各项活动与方案目标保持一致，这一点至关重要。PCRC的例子肯定并扩展了现有的关于研究效率的文献，提供了姑息治疗的重点。操作程序、绩效指标、优先级排序和成功监控都应该由流程图提供信息，并告知流程图，以实现最大的研究效率。
Research efficiency is gaining increasing attention in the research enterprise, including palliative care research. The importance of generating meaningful findings and translating these scientific advances to improved patient care creates urgency in the field to address well-documented system inefficiencies. The Palliative Care Research Cooperative Group (PCRC) provides useful examples for ensuring research efficiency in palliative care. Literature on maximizing research efficiency focuses on the importance of clearly delineated process maps, working instructions, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) in creating synchronicity in expectations across research sites. Examples from the PCRC support these objectives and suggest that early creation and employment of performance metrics aligned with these processes are essential to generate clear expectations and identify benchmarks. These benchmarks are critical in effective monitoring and ultimately the generation of high quality findings that are translatable to clinical populations. Prioritization of measurable goals and tasks to ensure that activities align with programmatic aims is critical. Examples from the PCRC affirm and expand the existing literature on research efficiency, providing a palliative care focus. Operating procedures, performance metrics, prioritization, and monitoring for success should all be informed by and inform the process map to achieve maximum research efficiency.
