NATIONAL DISSEMINATION PROGRAM: HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH

卫生服务研究(HSR)领域已经进入一个新的和 充满挑战的时代。医疗保健领域迅速而重大的变化 系统和越来越大的控制成本和保证质量的压力 更加强烈地要求提供关于 医疗技术、医疗组织和医疗筹资方面的变化。 州和联邦政策正在寻求这些信息- 制造商、医疗保健提供者、私营部门管理人员和 公开的。外地在满足这些需求方面的成功 信息将在很大程度上依赖于进行一项研究 传播战略：(1)预测未来的信息 需要指导研究优先事项，(2)确保持续 专业发展或有经验的高铁调查人员和 吸引新的研究人员进入该领域，以及(3)开发 传播机制，以促进 研究人员之间，以及研究人员和用户之间。国会 认识到这些函数在需要 国家卫生服务研究中心支持广泛的 传播活动的范围(小灵通法案第308条)。 五年国家传播计划，包括三个 提出了传播方案。这些是：(1)每年 全国科学会议汇聚卫生服务 研究人员将与同事分享新的方法和发现 和用户；(2)年度研究议程(优先事项)设置 有顶尖研究人员、政策制定者和 在评估选定领域的未来研究方向方面提供服务 (例如，健康结果的决定因素)；和(3)及时和 综合传播关于新资助研究的信息， 跨越主要的公共和私人机构，为卫生事业提供资金 服务研究。这些活动加在一起，可以预期 加快开展及时、重大的新研究， 以及确保当前研究的发现被广泛 在研究人员和用户之间共享。

The field of health services research (HSR) has entered a new and challenging era. Rapid and significant changes in the health care system and increasing pressures to contain costs and assure quality have intensified demands for information on the consequences of changes in medical technology, organization and financing of care. This information is being sought by state and federal policy- makers, health care providers, private sector managers and the public. The success of the field in meeting these needs for information will be largely dependent on having a research dissemination strategy that: (1) anticipates future information needs to guide research priorities, (2) assures continuing professional development or established HSR investigators and attracts new investigators into the field, and (3) develops dissemination mechanisms to facilitate communication among researchers, and between researchers and users. Congress recognized the importance of these functions when it required the National Center for Health Services Research to support a broad range of dissemination activities (Section 308, PHS Act). A five year national program of dissemination including three dissemination projects is proposed. These are: (1) an annual national scientific meeting to bring together health services researchers to share new methodologies and findings with colleagues and users; (2) an annual research agenda (priority) setting conference that involves leading researchers, policy-makers and providers in assessing future research directions in selected areas (e.g., determinants of health outcomes); and (3) timely and integrated dissemination of information on newly funded research, cutting across major public and private agencies funding health services research. Together these activities can be expected to accelerate the development of timely and significant new research, as well as assure that findings from current research are widely shared among researchers and users.
