CENTER FOR NURSING OUTCOMES RESEARCH

描述（由申请人提供）：在一系列引人注目的医学研究所报告的帮助下，全国重新关注卫生保健质量，为护理结果研究提供了更多机会，以影响临床实践和公共政策。虽然护理成果研究在过去几年中获得了一些突出，但它仍然不发达，其影响尚未渗透到国家质量改进议程中。这项竞争性的延续提案旨在扩展宾夕法尼亚大学护理成果研究中心（P30NR05043）的工作，该中心最初于2000年初获得资助，旨在推进护理成果研究的科学，促进新知识快速转化为实践。该中心的工作以“优质健康成果模型”为指导，并围绕国际移民组织《跨越合格鸿沟》报告中提出的作为国家质量改进议程指南的提高医疗保健质量的六个目标进行组织：安全、有效性、以患者为中心、及时性、效率、公平。中心的工作分为两个核心：研究促进核心和传播核心，具体目标如下：(1)扩大护理使用先进的结果研究方法，包括数据库、仪器、数据分析技术、研究设计、结果测量和转化研究；(2)向科学家、临床医生、管理人员、公众和政策制定者传播护理成果研究成果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A renewed national focus on quality of health care, aided by a series of high profile Institute of Medicine reports, provides increased opportunities for nursing outcomes research to influence clinical practices and public policies. While nursing outcomes research has gained some prominence in the last several years, it remains underdeveloped and its impact has not yet permeated the national agenda on quality improvement. This competing continuation proposal to extend and expand the work of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Nursing Outcomes Research (P30NR05043) funded initially in early 2000 is directed toward advancing the science of nursing outcomes research and facilitating the rapid translation of new knowledge into practice. The work of the Center is guided by the Quality Health Outcomes Model and is organized around the six aims for improving quality of health care proposed as a guide to the national agenda for quality improvement in the IOM's Crossing the Qualify Chasm report: safety, effectiveness, patient-centered, timeliness, efficiency, equitable. The Center's work is organized into two cores: Research Facilitation Core and Dissemination Core with the following specific aims: (1) to expand nursing's use of advanced outcomes research methodologies including databases, instruments, data analysis techniques, study designs, outcome measures, and translational research; and (2) to disseminate the products of nursing outcomes research to scientists, clinicians, administrators, the public, and policy makers.
