CENTER FOR NURSING OUTCOMES RESEARCH

描述(由申请人提供)：在一系列备受瞩目的医学研究所报告的帮助下，国家重新关注卫生保健的质量，为护理结果研究提供了更多的机会，以影响临床实践和公共政策。虽然护理结果研究在过去几年中已经取得了一些突出的地位，但它仍然不发达，其影响尚未渗透到国家质量改进议程中。这项旨在延长和扩大宾夕法尼亚大学护理结果研究中心(P30NR05043)工作的竞争性延续建议最初于2000年初获得资助，旨在促进护理结果研究的科学，并促进新知识迅速转化为实践。该中心的工作以质量健康结果模型为指导，并围绕国际移民组织《跨越质量鸿沟报告》中提出的提高医疗质量的六个目标进行组织，作为国家质量改进议程的指南：安全、有效性、以患者为中心、及时性、效率、公平。该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)扩大护理对先进结果研究方法的使用，包括数据库、仪器、数据分析技术、研究设计、结果测量和转化性研究；以及(2)向科学家、临床医生、管理者、公众和政策制定者传播护理结果研究的产品。

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.
