The AMDA Foundation's research development conference, "Patient Safety Issues in Long Term Care" will further the development of the research agenda for the AMDA Foundation Long Term Care Research Network, a national practice-based research network of long term care professionals launched in 2001. The conference will identify new research priorities and studies surrounding the issue of patient safety in long term care with an emphasis on using performance measures (e.g., quality indicators, survey deficiencies hospitalizations) and data sets (MDS, OSCAR, FIB) to compare research results against national norms. The conference will also examine how the Research Network can collaborate with users of large data sets to explain variations in practice patterns and outcomes that are observed in these large data sets, such as geographic variations in the use of feeding tubes. Findings of research studies initiated in 2001 and their implications for improving quality and patient safety in long term care will also be discussed. We will also discuss benefits and limitations of existing research methodologies and data collection instruments currently being used in the Network and identify new ones that are feasible for the Network to implement. We will provide training about the role of the site investigator in educating RIBs and their facilities about research issues in long term care, including human subject protection and privacy. Conference faculty will include leading national experts in long term care research, as well as experts on patient safety and nursing home quality initiatives from AHRQ and CMS.

AMDA 基金会的研究发展会议“长期护理中的患者安全问题”将进一步制定 AMDA 基金会长期护理研究网络的研究议程，该网络是 2001 年启动的一个基于实践的全国长期护理专业人员研究网络。会议将确定围绕长期护理中患者安全问题的新研究重点和研究，重点是使用绩效衡量标准（例如质量指标、住院调查缺陷）和数据集（MDS、 OSCAR、FIB）将研究结果与国家标准进行比较。会议还将研究研究网络如何与大数据集的用户合作，以​​解释在这些大数据集中观察到的实践模式和结果的变化，例如饲管使用的地理变化。还将讨论 2001 年启动的研究结果及其对提高长期护理质量和患者安全的影响。我们还将讨论网络中当前使用的现有研究方法和数据收集工具的优点和局限性，并确定网络可行的新方法和局限性。我们将提供有关现场调查员在对 RIB 及其设施进行有关长期护理研究问题（包括人类受试者保护和隐私）方面的教育的培训。会议教职人员将包括长期护理研究领域的领先国家专家，以及来自 AHRQ 和 CMS 的患者安全和疗养院质量倡议方面的专家。
