Patrick's research spans the fields of public health, chronic illness, public health policy, outcomes research, quality of life, health status assessment.
Patrick is a member of National Academy of Medicine, and was the first president of International Society for Quality of Life Research.
Education
[edit]Patrick graduated from the Northwestern University with a major in Psychology in 1966. Subsequently, he attended Columbia University, completed his MSPH degree in 1968, and graduated with a Ph.D. degree in Public Health in 1972.[1]
Career
[edit]He was the first Director of Program in Social and Behavioral Sciences in the School of Public Health at the University of Washington and held this appointment from 1987 until 2006.[2] He is currently professor emeritus at the institute.[3]
Research and work
[edit]Patrick partook in a WHO project focused on the development of QOL measuring instrument. The particular features of the planned instrument (WHOQOL), and the study protocol was reported in 1993.[4] Later on, in a 1998 research paper by WHOQOL Group, he developed final-trial version of instrument entitled, "WHOQOL-100".[5]
Patrick has also conducted research on evaluating the quality of death, and exploring the measure of the quality of the dying.[6] In one of his research studies, he designed and supervised after-death interviews with the family members of the deceased since the research findings can be utilized for the improvement of near-death care, and experience of the dying patients.[7]
Patrick has conducted outcomes research, focused on vulnerable populations, chronic illness, as well as end of life care. In a Delphi study, a consensus was reached over the taxonomy, and terminology of the measures aimed at patient-reported outcomes (PRO) based on health.[8] Having focused on the PRO, he also determined the content validity on the PRO instruments aimed for the use in medical product evaluation.[9]
