Quality outcome research is a developing science which encompasses structure and process. It is an area of health services research that has applications in all settings across a continuum of care, and it focuses on improving the quality of the population's health. The overall goal of the proposed conference is to provide incentives, opportunities and practical advice to encourage Peer Review Organization (PRO) professionals, health services researchers, and private and government payor and providers, to work together on a common quality of care research agenda. Creating opportunities for quality outcome research and evaluation of the linkages between structure, process, and patient outcomes have secured national and government interest as never before. Over the past four years AMRRC has continuously developed the theme of outcome monitoring, measurement, assessment, and evaluation. AMRRC's major functions in this conference are to identify participants, to formulate and finalize the conference structure, to be a link between the participating organizations, and to disseminate proceedings. AMRRC's mission as a research center encompasses interpretation of significant quality of care research issues and dissemination of those findings. Also, over the past five years, the objectives of the PROs have broadened in focus from a program devoted only to cost containment, to the incorporation of quality and utilization monitoring for necessity, appropriateness, effectiveness and outcomes. Their most recent objectives are to have a positive impact on patient outcomes and overall health. Consensus exists that the focus cannot be on cost containment without quality. As for the health services research community, they have been involved in quality issues for more than three decades. Much of the current knowledge, methods in quality and cost containment field come from NCHSR funded projects. While PROS, researchers, and payors and providers have focused on monitoring and evaluating the processes contributing to the quality of medical care in general, they have not shared their common interests or explored the potential results of collaboration. The American health care system and beneficiaries will benefit the most from the cooperative efforts of these Communities especially since they have a common mission to improve the quality of healthcare. The objectives of the Working Forum on Outcomes (WFO) and Quality of Care are: 1) to review and discuss an innovative approaches to patient quality outcome research and selection of promising quality review and evaluation techniques for application; 2) to establish the basis of plans for products that can be translated and widely applied both in the research and non-research communities. The design of the forum will be a small interactive group format with very structured tasks. The participants' understanding of each other's priorities, concerns, and available resources will be enhanced. The forum and proceedings will assist participants in preparing realistic research designs in the area of quality outcome and effectiveness research.

质量成果研究是一门发展中的科学，包括 结构和过程。 这是卫生服务研究的一个领域 在整个护理过程中的所有环境中应用，它的重点是 提高人民健康质量。 拟议会议的总体目标是提供激励措施， 鼓励同行评审组织的机会和实用建议 (PRO) 专业人士、卫生服务研究人员以及私人和 政府付款人和提供者共同努力实现共同的质量 护理研究议程。为高质量成果研究创造机会 以及结构、过程和患者之间联系的评估 结果前所未有地确保了国家和政府的利益。 在过去的四年里，AMRRC 不断发展的主题是 结果监测、测量、评估和评价。 AMRRC的专业 本次会议的职能是确定与会者、制定和 最终确定会议结构，成为参会者之间的纽带 组织，并传播会议记录。 AMRRC 的使命 研究中心包括对重要护理质量的解释 研究问题并传播这些研究结果。 此外，在过去五年中，PRO 的目标已经扩大 重点从仅致力于成本控制的计划，到 必要时纳入质量和利用率监测， 适当性、有效性和结果。他们最近的目标 对患者的治疗结果和整体健康产生积极影响。 人们一致认为，如果不关注成本控制，就不能将重点放在 质量。至于卫生服务研究界，他们已经 三十多年来一直致力于质量问题。目前大部分 质量和成本控制领域的知识、方法来自NCHSR 资助的项目。虽然 PROS、研究人员、付款人和提供者已经 专注于监控和评估有助于实现目标的流程 医疗质量一般，但他们没有共同点 兴趣或探索合作的潜在结果。美国人 医疗保健系统和受益人将从中受益最多 这些社区的合作努力，特别是因为它们拥有 提高医疗质量的共同使命。 结果和护理质量工作论坛 (WFO) 的目标 是： 1) 回顾并讨论提高患者质量的创新方法 结果研究和有前途的质量审查和评估的选择 应用技术； 2）建立产品计划的基础 可以翻译并广泛应用于研究和 非研究团体。论坛的设计会是一个小 互动小组形式，任务非常结构化。参加者的 了解彼此的优先事项、关注点和可用资源 将得到增强。论坛和会议记录将帮助参与者 在质量成果领域准备现实的研究设计 有效性研究。
