DESCRIPTION: The School of Health Management and Policy (SHMP) within the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University seeks funding to continue and improve the highly successful Annual Health Economics Conference. Following 16 years of partnership between the host university and the Department of Veterans Affairs Management Science Group, last year the Agency for Health Care Quality and Research (AHRQ) for the first time partnered with a host university to sponsor this conference. This partnership succeeded by all accounts, including the high quality of the presented papers and the discussion as well as the in-depth discussions advancing the agenda for health economics research. The aims of this conference are: (1) to advance the policy applicability of health economics by exploring theoretical issues that can be directly applied to real-world health settings; (2) to improve the policy relevance of empirical health economics by fostering research that emphasizes study of important current questions using the most rigorous methods; and (3) to foster career development of young health economic scholars by intentionally placing promising junior economists with high-profile senior economists in an intensive two-day, small group setting. This proposal requests funding for this year's conference to build on the previous success and ensure the continued exchange of these high-impact ideas. This year the conference will build upon past success in several key areas. (1) It will retain the core, which is extensive discussion of and feedback on leading-edge, policy-relevant research in health economics. (2) ASU's Center for Health Information and Research (CHIR) will host a session describing their data and the potential for research with these data, with a focus on pay-for-performance and the role of information technology in improving quality, access and efficiency. CHIR has been named one of six better quality information centers, jointly funded by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Studies (CMS) and AHRQ, and recently visited by both Michael Leavitt and Carolyn Clancy. Ongoing CHIR projects focus on AHRQ's priority populations. This session will promote further research regarding these priority populations. (3) A keynote speech will be given by Dr. Kerry Smith, a highly respected economist from outside of the health economics research community. This keynote will challenge the participants to consider new research topics and approaches. (4) Members of the health care community will partner with the host. These partners represent users of health services research, and the conference will provide them with the opportunity to learn about the leading-edge of research and shape the future research agenda. Conference activities will also produce a research agenda driven by the papers, the discussions, the CHIR data session, and the keynote address. This year's conference will be held March 16-17 on the campus of Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.

描述：W.P. 内的健康管理与政策学院 (SHMP)亚利桑那州立大学凯里商学院寻求资金以继续和改进非常成功的年度健康经济学会议。继主办大学与退伍军人事务部管理科学小组合作 16 年之后，去年医疗保健质量与研究机构 (AHRQ) 首次与主办大学合作赞助本次会议。这种伙伴关系从各方面来看都是成功的，包括所提交的论文和讨论的高质量，以及推进卫生经济学研究议程的深入讨论。本次会议的目的是：（1）通过探索可直接应用于现实世界卫生环境的理论问题来提高卫生经济学的政策适用性； (2) 通过促进强调使用最严格的方法研究当前重要问题的研究，提高实证卫生经济学的政策相关性； (3) 有意将有前途的初级经济学家与备受瞩目的高级经济学家安排在为期两天的小组集中学习中，以促进年轻健康经济学学者的职业发展。该提案要求为今年的会议提供资金，以在以往的成功基础上再接再厉，并确保继续交流这些高影响力的想法。今年的会议将在几个关键领域以往的成功基础上再接再厉。 （1）保留核心内容，即对卫生经济学前沿、政策相关研究的广泛讨论和反馈。 (2) 亚利桑那州立大学的健康信息与研究中心 (CHIR) 将举办一次会议，介绍其数据以及利用这些数据进行研究的潜力，重点关注绩效薪酬以及信息技术在提高质量、获取和效率方面的作用。 CHIR 被评为六个质量较高的信息中心之一，由医疗保险和医疗补助研究中心 (CMS) 和 AHRQ 共同资助，最近迈克尔·莱维特 (Michael Leavitt) 和卡罗琳·克兰西 (Carolyn Clancy) 都访问过该中心。正在进行的 CHIR 项目重点关注 AHRQ 的优先人群。本次会议将促进有关这些优先人群的进一步研究。 (3) 健康经济学研究界之外德高望重的经济学家 Kerry Smith 博士将发表主题演讲。本主题演讲将挑战参与者考虑新的研究主题和方法。 (4) 医疗保健界的成员将与主办方合作。这些合作伙伴代表了卫生服务研究的用户，会议将为他们提供了解研究前沿并制定未来研究议程的机会。会议活动还将制定由论文、讨论、CHIR 数据会议和主题演讲驱动的研究议程。今年的会议将于 3 月 16 日至 17 日在亚利桑那州坦佩的亚利桑那州立大学校园举行。
