ACHIEVING OPTIMAL OUTCOMES IN PRIMARY CARE

莫尔豪斯医学院提议举行一次针对初级保健提供者和卫生保健政策制定者的会议。会议的目的是通过突出最新和最好的科学，帮助初级保健提供者改善初级保健的成果，阻止最好的科学转化为个人和社区实践的障碍，并提供改善个人实践和社区计划的策略，以缩小知识与实践之间的差距。会议将于2001年3月8日至11日在格鲁吉亚的亚特兰大举行。目标受众是美国东南部的初级保健提供者和卫生政策制定者。预计将有150-2000人参加会议。会议将重点关注《2010年健康人》针对的六个主要领域（心血管健康、传染病和艾滋病毒、免疫接种、糖尿病和肥胖、癌症和精神健康），这些领域的健康结果在人口中存在明显差异。会议形式将包括教学讲座，全体会议和技能提高研讨会。会议记录将作为医学杂志《种族与疾病》的补编，于2001年秋季出版。

The Morehouse School of Medicine proposes to hold a conference targeting primary care providers and health care policy makers. The aim of the conference is to help primary care providers improve the outcomes in primary care by highlighting the latest and best science available, the barriers that prevent the translation of the best science to practice for individuals and communities, and provide strategies to improve individual practices and community based programs to close the gap between knowledge and practice. The conference will be a 3-day conference scheduled for March 8-11, 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia. The target audience is primary care providers and health policy makers in the Southeastern United States. It is expected that 150-2000 people will attend the conference. The conference will focus on six major areas targeted by Healthy People 2010 (Cardiovascular Health, Infectious Disease and HIV, Immunization, Diabetes and Obesity, Cancer, and Mental Health) with marked disparities in health outcomes among populations. The conference format will include didactic lectures, plenary sessions, and skills enhancement workshops. The proceedings of the conference, a supplement to the medical journal Ethnicity and Disease, will be published in the Fall of 2001.
