Developing recommendations for digital collaboration meetings across healthcare levels and services for patients with chronic pain- a qualitative study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCollaboration between healthcare services is essential for the quality and continuity of care for persons with chronic pain. Collaboration meetings using digital solutions can be useful in overcoming collaboration challenges. However, there is a scarcity of studies on conducting digital collaboration meetings across services, particularly across healthcare levels for patients with chronic pain. Therefore, the aim of the study was to develop recommendations for how to plan and conduct digital collaboration meetings across care levels and services for patients with chronic pain.
methodsA qualitative study collecting data from a development process for digital collaboration meeting recommendations was conducted between October 2022 and June 2023. Data were collected at workshops, discussions in the clinic and research group meetings. The analysis focused on topics that generated the most discussions during the development process.
resultsThe discussions leading to the recommendations were categorised into three themes: ‘Patient-centeredness in the digital collaboration meeting’, ‘A common action plan’ and ‘Good meeting climate’. The main discussions included what it meant to place the patient at the centre of the activities, whether the patient should be present when professionals discussed the interprofessional assessments, whether clinical notes and suggestions for action should be distributed before the digital collaboration meeting, and how to ensure well-led meetings with clear agendas.
conclusionsA set of recommendations for how to plan and conduct digital collaboration meetings across care levels and services for patients with chronic pain was developed. Due to practical issues and differing opinions, the final recommendations offer flexible approaches to meet different levels of preparedness before the meeting. The recommendations are ready to be further tested as collaboration meetings are implemented more widely.
