Professor Pacheco-Brousseau’s research aims to advance evidence- and preference-informed, person-centred practice in rehabilitation to achieve appropriate care. Her work focuses on three main areas:
- Building the knowledge base to inform decision-making for rehabilitation conditions across individual, clinical, organizational and health system settings
- Examining people’s engagement in decision-making (shared decision-making) as an approach for supporting evidence- and preference-informed decisions in rehabilitation
- Co-designing and investigating strategies to support the adoption, scaling up, and sustainability of evidence- and preference-informed decisions in rehabilitation
To enhance the quality, relevance, applicability and impact of her research, Lissa Pacheco-Brousseau values close collaboration with individuals with lived experience, as well as with health-care professionals, researchers and decision-makers.
