Evidence-Based Dentistry Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：循证牙科冠军会议项目摘要：该项目的目标是通过实施循证牙科（EBD）来提高牙科护理的质量，安全性，效率和有效性。这将通过EBD冠军会议来完成，招募牙科团队成员成为循证牙科冠军，他们将学习如何将EBD付诸实践，并将此信息传播给他们的同事。该提案寻求支持：1）在美国各地招募多达100名牙医和牙科医生成为循证牙科冠军; 2）召开循证牙科冠军会议; 3）通过测量知识，态度和自我报告行为的变化以及收集传播策略的信息来评估会议的有效性。 拟议中的EBD冠军会议将在伊利诺伊州芝加哥的ADA总部举行。参与者将通过自愿申请程序招募。冠军将包括私人执业、公共卫生、教育、研究和其他领域的个人。参与者的选择将确保实践环境、地理区域和影响不同患者群体护理的能力之间的多样性。ADA成员资格将不是选择标准。将优先考虑治疗服务不足人群的牙医和牙科医生。会议报告将被记录，并通过ADA的EBD网站http://ebd.ada.org（资助号G 08 LM 008956）公开提供。这一拟议项目将满足亚洲人权协商会会议的两个目标：（1）传播和执行会议;（2）研究培训、基础设施和职业发展。在更广泛的范围内，它也明显符合AHRQ的使命“提高质量，安全性，效率和有效性的医疗保健为所有美国人。1”美国牙科协会致力于循证牙科，并在2008年推出了EBD冠军计划。该计划在招募牙科团队成员方面非常成功，影响了知识，态度和自我报告行为的变化，并导致向广大受众传播。ADA拥有世界一流的会议设施、评估资源、工作人员时间和传播能力，将致力于这一项目。 公共卫生相关性：循证冠军会议将培训多达100名牙医和牙科医生，优先考虑那些治疗服务不足的人群，成为循证牙科冠军。参与者的选择将确保实践环境、地理区域和影响不同患者群体护理的能力之间的多样性。ADA成员资格将不是选择标准。冠军将在教育，私人执业，公共卫生或其他领域实施EBD，并通过各种机制向同事传播他们的学习。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Evidence-Based Dentistry Champion Conference Project Summary: The goal of this project is to improve quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of dental care through implementation of Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD). This will be accomplished through an EBD Champion Conference by recruiting dental team members to become Evidence-Based Dentistry Champions who will learn how to implement EBD into practice and disseminate this information to their colleagues. This proposal seeks support to: 1) Recruit up to 100 dentists and dental hygienists throughout the U.S. to become Evidence-Based Dentistry Champions; 2) Convene an Evidence-Based Dentistry Champion Conference; and 3) Evaluate the effectiveness of the conference by measuring changes in knowledge, attitudes and self-reported behavior as well as gathering information on dissemination strategies. The proposed EBD Champion Conference will be held at the ADA headquarters in Chicago, IL. Participants will be recruited through a voluntary application process. Champions will include individuals in private practice, public health, education, research and other fields. Participant selection will ensure diversity among practice settings, geographical regions and ability to influence the care of a diverse group of patients. ADA membership will not be a selection criteria. Priority will be given to dentists and dental hygienists who treat underserved populations. Conference presentations will be recorded and made publicly available through the ADA's EBD website, http://ebd.ada.org (Grant Number G08 LM008956). This proposed project would meet two AHRQ conference objectives: 1) dissemination and implementation conferences and 2) research training, infrastructure and career development. On a broader scale, it also clearly fits within AHRQ's mission "to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans.1" The American Dental Association is committed to Evidence-Based Dentistry and launched the EBD Champion program in 2008. This program has been very successful in recruiting members of the dental team, affecting changes in knowledge, attitudes and self-reported behavior, and resulting in dissemination to a broad audience. The ADA has world-class conference facilities, evaluation resources, staff time and dissemination capabilities that will be dedicated to this project. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Evidence-Based Champion Conference will train up to 100 dentists and dental hygienists, with priority given to those who treat underserved populations, to become Evidence-Based Dentistry Champions. Participant selection will ensure diversity among practice settings, geographical regions and ability to influence the care of a diverse group of patients. ADA membership will not be a selection criteria. The Champions will implement EBD in education, private practice, public health or other fields, and disseminate their learning to colleagues through a variety of mechanisms.
