Building a National Research Model: the Future of HMO-Based Research Conference

描述(由申请人提供)：整合研究和实践的能力，以改善不同人群的健康和保健。HMORN年会的目的是：1)为HMORN研究人员、资助机构的代表和我们的学术合作伙伴提供一个论坛，讨论方法和传播研究成果；2)为与会者创造机会开发合作研究项目；3)增强HMORN研究中心的能力，以提高医疗保健提供系统的有效性、有效性和整体质量，并为国家研究议程和资助优先事项做出贡献；4)增强我们中心研究基础设施的核心能力；以及5)发展年轻研究人员和HMORN新手的研究技能。HMORN年度会议与AHRQ提高卫生保健的质量、安全、效率和有效性的使命密切相关。会议结合了为AHRQ支持指定的几种会议类型：1)研究开发--将通过协作会议确定卫生服务提供中的问题和挑战，并制定相关的研究战略；2)设计和方法--我们将讨论围绕卫生服务研究的方法学和技术问题，例如电子病历在改善保健提供方面的重要性；3)传播--研究将向网络与会者介绍，并将在诸如Permanente Medical Journal和HMORN网站等出版物中突出显示；以及4)研究培训、基础设施和职业发展-高级和初级研究人员将分享研究产品、方法和经验，这将提高我们的研究机构进行和转化与改善医疗保健提供相关的研究的能力。会议还将对AHRQ的NOT-HS-06-032做出回应，举行一次关于优化护理提供的会议，重点是对患有多种并存疾病的个人的护理。7.项目说明卫生组织研究网络的年度会议支持15个研究中心的协作工作。这些研究中心都以综合卫生保健系统为基础，进行临床、流行病学和卫生服务研究。这些健康计划以其稳定的人群、电子医疗记录以及关注整个人群或单个患者的能力，为研究提供了完美的环境。该网络的使命是利用其集体能力进行可以很容易地转化为医疗保健的研究。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): capabilities to integrate research and practice to improve health and health care among diverse populations. The aims of the HMORN annual conference are to: 1) provide a forum for HMORN researchers, representatives of funding agencies, and our academic partners to discuss methods and disseminate research findings; 2) create opportunities for participants to develop collaborative research projects; 3) enhance the ability of the HMORN research centers to raise the effectiveness, efficacy, and overall quality of health care delivery systems, and contribute to national research agendas and funding priorities; 4) enhance core competencies of our centers' research infrastructure; and 5) develop the research skills of young investigators and those new to the HMORN. The HMORN annual conference is closely aligned with AHRQ's mission to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care. The meeting combines several of the conference types designated for AHRQ support: 1) Research Development - issues and challenges in the delivery of health services will be defined and related research strategies will be developed through collaborative meetings; 2) Design and Methodology - we will address methodological and technical issues surrounding health services research, such as the importance of electronic medical records in improving care delivery; 3) Dissemination - research will be presented to Network attendees and will be highlighted in publications such as the Permanente Medical Journal and on the HMORN website; and 4) Research Training, Infrastructure and Career Development - senior and junior investigators will share research products, approaches, and experiences, which will increase our research institutions' abilities to conduct and translate research related to improving health care delivery. The conference will also respond to AHRQ's NOT-HS-06-032, with a session on optimizing care delivery with an emphasis the care of individuals with multiple co-morbid conditions. 7. Project Narrative The HMO Research Network's annual meetings support the collaborative work of 15 research centers. These research centers are all based in integrated health care systems and conduct clinical, epidemiologic, and health services research. These health plans provide the perfect environment for research with their stable populations, electronic medical records, and ability to focus on the whole population or a single patient. The Network's mission is to use its collective capabilities to conduct research that can be easily translated into medical care.
