DESCRIPTION (PROVIDED BY APPLICANT): Professionals in hospice, palliative, and end-of-life care increasingly care for dying patients with non-cancer diagnoses. In 2004, less than half of hospice admissions were for cancer diagnoses (46%); end-stage heart disease and dementia were the top two non-cancer diagnoses, accounting for 12.2% and 8.9%, respectively. Thus it is imperative for continuing education efforts to address the specific needs of dying patients with diverse conditions, and for research findings about palliative and end-of-life care for such conditions to be disseminated to the research and provider communities. The Center for Hospice, Palliative Care & End-of-Life Studies at the University of South Florida (The Center) seeks funding support to address the need for a research conference to disseminate current findings and to stimulate new research about the palliative and end-of-life care requirements for persons with diverse conditions, including dementia and heart disease, as well as cancer, which continues to account for the largest percentage of hospice admissions. The Center is a research center that has as its focus the health issues of individuals near the end-of-life and their families and caregivers. The Center is a community-academic partnership of multidisciplinary colleagues from USF; LifePath Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc.; The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast; Tidewell Hospice and Palliative Care; Hope of Southwest Florida; and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute. Center members work to generate new knowledge through interdisciplinary research, use that knowledge to educate health and human services professionals and students, and advocate for public policy that supports quality end-of-life care. The proposed conference, "Building Bridges: Interdisciplinary Paths to Palliative & End-of-Life Care for People with Diverse Conditions (Cancer, Dementia, and Heart Disease)" will bring together researchers, care providers, administrators, policy makers and graduate students representing multiple disciplines and sites of care to disseminate state-of-the-art information about palliative and end-of-life care for individuals with diverse conditions. The conference will take place October 27- 28, 2006 in Tampa, Florida, and already has commitments from nationally and internationally known experts in the field to speak at plenary and breakout sessions. In addition, interdisciplinary panel discussions will feature multiple perspectives on aspects of end-of-life and palliative care unique to patients with cancer, dementia, and heart disease, and research papers and posters competitively selected through the Center's Call for Abstracts will allow conference attendees to be active participants in the ongoing dialogue about research priorities and improvements in clinical care.

描述（由申请人提供）：临终关怀，姑息治疗和临终关怀的专业人员越来越多地照顾非癌症诊断的垂死患者。在2004年，只有不到一半的临终关怀入院是因为癌症诊断（46%）;末期心脏病和痴呆是前两名的非癌症诊断，分别占12.2%和8.9%。因此，必须继续努力开展教育，以满足不同条件的垂死患者的具体需求，并将有关这些条件的姑息治疗和临终关怀的研究结果传播给研究和提供者社区。南佛罗里达大学临终关怀、姑息治疗和临终关怀研究中心（该中心）寻求资金支持，以满足研究会议的需要，以传播当前的研究结果，并刺激对患有各种疾病的人的姑息治疗和临终关怀要求的新研究，包括痴呆症和心脏病，以及癌症，这仍然占临终关怀入院人数的最大比例。该中心是一个研究中心，其重点是接近生命结束的个人及其家人和照顾者的健康问题。该中心是一个社区学术合作伙伴关系的多学科同事从南佛罗里达州;生命之路临终关怀和姑息治疗公司;佛罗里达阳光海岸的临终关怀;泰德韦尔临终关怀和姑息治疗;西南佛罗里达的希望;和H。李莫菲特癌症中心和研究所。中心成员致力于通过跨学科研究产生新的知识，利用这些知识教育卫生和人类服务专业人员和学生，并倡导支持优质临终关怀的公共政策。拟议的会议，“建立桥梁：姑息治疗和临终关怀的跨学科路径为不同条件的人（癌症，痴呆症和心脏病）”将汇集研究人员，护理提供者，管理人员，政策制定者和研究生代表多个学科和护理地点，传播关于姑息治疗和临终关怀的最先进的信息，为不同条件的个人。会议将于2006年10月27日至28日在佛罗里达的坦帕举行，该领域的国内和国际知名专家已经承诺在全体会议和分组会议上发言。此外，跨学科小组讨论将以癌症，痴呆症和心脏病患者特有的临终关怀和姑息治疗方面的多个观点为特色，通过该中心的摘要征集竞争性选择的研究论文和海报将使与会者能够积极参与正在进行的关于研究优先事项和临床护理改进的对话。
