Health Care Practice: Priorities/Process/Problem-Solving

AMDA基金会的研究开发和传播会议“将研究转化为实践”、优先事项、过程和问题解决，将讨论长期护理研究问题，并传播基金会长期护理研究网络进行的研究，该网络成立于2001年，是一个由300名长期护理专业人员组成的PBRN。2005年11月11日至13日的会议有几个目标：(1)通过与家庭医生问询网络一起开发一个长期护理小组来确定研究优先事项，这是一种基于网络的互动方法，用于确定临床问题并确定优先顺序。(2)讨论在涉及认知受损的养老院居民的研究项目中获得同意和同意所涉及的临床、伦理操作问题。(3)识别和解决长期技术研究中遇到的典型问题，如招募、硬性排除/纳入标准和数据收集问题。(4)传播AHRQ LTC质量改进伙伴关系的初步数据，这是一项50家机构的试点研究，评估实施AMDA疼痛和压疮临床实践指南的过程和结果措施。(5)传播来自研究网络研究的数据，这些研究涉及医生和护理人员对常见临床疾病(如贫血和消化疾病)的治疗和管理的态度和实践模式，以及一项医院到疗养院转移文件的研究。(6)在知情同意、仪器设计、制定纳入/排除标准和进行文献检索等领域提供网络成员研究培训和技能培养。相关性：本次研究和传播会议的目的是帮助200多万每年至少在养老院住一段时间的老年人改善护理质量和生活质量。研究网络试图通过分析当前的实践模式及其对健康结果和居民生活质量的影响，以及开发和实施评估当前和新干预措施的有效性的研究，来确定照顾我国老年人的最佳做法。

The AMDA Foundation's research development and dissemination conference, "Translating Research into Practice", Priorities, Process, and Problem Solving, will address long term care research issues and disseminate research conducted by the Foundation LTC Research Network, a PBRN of 300 long term care professionals launched in 2001. The Nov. 11-13, 2005 conference has several goals: (1) Setting research priorities through the development of a long-term care panel with the Family Physician Inquiries Network, a web based interactive approach of identifying and prioritizing clinical questions. (2) Discussion of clinical, ethical operational issues involved in obtaining consent and assent in research projects involving cognitively impaired nursing home residents. (3) Identifying and solving typical problems encountered in LTC research such as recruitment, rigid exclusion/inclusion criteria and data collection issues. (4) Dissemination of initial data from the AHRQ LTC Quality Improvement Partnerships, a 50 facility pilot study assessing process and outcome measures from implementing AMDA pain and pressure ulcer clinical practice guidelines. (5) Dissemination of data from research network studies on physician and nursing attitudes and practice patterns regarding treatment and management of common clinical conditions such as anemia and digestive disorders, and a hospital to nursing home transfer documentation study. (6) Provide Network member research training and skill building in the areas of informed consent, instrument design, development of inclusion/ exclusion criteria, and conducting literature searches. Relevance: The purpose of this research and dissemination conference is to help improve the quality of care and quality of life for the more than 2 million seniors who spend at least some time in a nursing home each year. The Research Network seeks to identify best practices for caring for our nation's elderly through analyzing current practice patterns and their impact on health outcomes and resident quality of life, and developing and implementing studies to assess the effectiveness of current and new interventions.
