The need for improved measurement in health care and other fields has increased dramatically; for example, with the demands for sweeping changes in the financing, delivery, quality, and outcomes of care. Concurrently, the practice of objective measurement has improved and expanded greatly in the past 10 years thanks to the efforts of Benjamin D. Wright of the University of Chicago and colleagues in the Institute for Objective Measurement who are now active in many other universities and research institutes. Therefore, the time has come for an exponential expansion to meet the demands for better measurement to enable better management. A conference is proposed in order to share and build on the base of knowledge and expertise of the Institute for Objective Measurement. The conference theme will be, "Objective Health Care Measurement From Theory to Application." Papers will be presented which highlight the critical debates in objective measurement. Measurement technology will be presented which significantly reduces respondent burden while increasing measurement precision. Advantages of objective measurement such as determining rater influences and the monitoring healthcare status across the continuum of care will be presented. Papers will highlight ongoing applications of objective measurement in areas from neonatal health care and outpatient rehabilitation to global measures of health care. Finally, leaders in the area of health care policy will explore how these advances in measurement will potentially change health care delivery, research, and policy.

在卫生保健和其他领域，对改进衡量的需求急剧增加;例如，随着对保健的筹资、提供、质量和结果的全面变革的需求。与此同时，由于本杰明D.芝加哥大学的赖特和他在客观测量研究所的同事们现在活跃在许多其他大学和研究机构。因此，现在是指数式扩张的时候了，以满足更好的测量需求，从而实现更好的管理。建议召开一次会议，以分享和利用客观计量研究所的知识和专长。会议的主题是“从理论到应用的客观医疗保健测量”。“将提交论文，突出客观衡量的关键辩论。测量技术将提出显着减少受访者的负担，同时提高测量精度。将介绍客观测量的优势，例如确定评估者的影响和监测整个护理过程中的医疗保健状态。论文将重点介绍客观测量在新生儿保健和门诊康复到全球保健措施等领域的应用。最后，医疗保健政策领域的领导者将探索这些测量方面的进步将如何潜在地改变医疗保健的提供、研究和政策。
